    Hi !
    I am happy to host this technical challenge for the month of September !

    In this challenge we are going to play with a easy but very funny and versatile idea : Stickers !
    You can make stickers with most anything !
    I use oft this idea to put a pretty accent on a Wordart ! In this first example i will explain you the process to make this sticker.

    1. I used the wordart "Undone Love" from the last Collection Undone - I import it in my page - rasterized the layer,( Right Mouse Click on the layer, in layer Panel - and choose "Rasterize Layer") and draw a selection around the word "Love" with the lasso tool.
    2. I cut out the selected word with "CTRL + X" and paste it on a new Layer with "CTRL + V"
    3. Now i am ready to transform the word "Love" in a Sticker. I add a layer style (pressing "fx" on the bottom of the layer panel), and add a stroke : i choose the color white and a size of 20 px. Press Ok to valid.
    4. Now I go to click on the right mouse button and convert this layer to a smart object.
    5. and i go again adding a layer style : i add this time a drop shadow.
    6. I have now to put this drop shadow on his one layer ( Right mouse click on the style in the layer panel, create layer) - Notice : because we have converted before in a smart Object, we have only the shadow layer style who will be separated on his own layer

    In the nexts examples, i did stickers with a free text, with an ABP from collection Undone, and also with a stamped brush ..... You can find your own ideas , i think there is no limit : i am curious to see your stickers ! And don't forget to put a nice shadow on your stickers : this will help to get a nice sticker-look !

    I had to do a work around since I have PSE, but am pleased with results. Stickers made from word "Poetry," seastar and seashell. I am also glad to have found a use for this out of focus (on purpose) photo of seahorses on top of a carousel at night.

    Thanks for the challenge. And thanks for the tip about creating a smart object of your element with the stroke on it. I had never done that before, so I was always trying to adjust shadows with multiple effect layers & it would always get messy. This was perfect!

    This Challenge Was Lots Of Fun!...Life Has Certainly Been A Challenge For Me The Last Few Months...So I Wanted To Create A Layout Illustrating How Life Has It's Ups & Downs...And How Hard It Is To Just Let Go...Of Things(Bad Things/Moments/Memories...Etc) Sometimes...But Ultimately In The End There Is Always A Positive Outlook That Prevails...There Is Always Something New To Be Learned Or Some New Insight Gained Through These Trying Times & Situations...Ultimately,We All Find Ways To Cope & Ways To Supplement The Sad/Trying Times With The Things That Bring Us The Most Joy...So This Is My Somewhat Whimsical Take On That Idea...

    *For My Life Hangs In The Balance Layout-I Used:

    *Art Crush No.17/Art Crush No.18 & Live Wild & Free-NBK Design

    You've made so many creative stickers. I think several of you will be having a lot of fun, in the future, with sticker-making. :)
