2.  To load your brush, click on your brush tool located on the left sidebar.  Once there, click the dropdown box your brush toolbar.  Click the small arrow button on the right side of the drop-down menu and highlight “Load Brushes”.  This will bring up your system folders for you to find a brush that you have saved to your hard drive.  Find the brush set you would like to use and open.

3. Once loaded, you can create a pattern or just one brush stroke to add flair to your image. Here I stamped all over my document to create the look of patterned paper.

4.  After stamping, I changed the opacity of the layer so that my robot layer was a lot lighter than originally placed.  This change let me type over the layer without the text being hard to read.

So brush it up, scrappers!  There are so many sites out there that offer free brushes for this purpose (just remember to credit the brushmaker).  Make sure you send me those projects and maybe YOU will be featured in the next Crossroads Café!

	Journaling: Robot, Robot... Beep, Beep...That is what you say when you play robot around the house. Running around, bumping into walls and scaring the cat, you use anything from a paper bag, to the clothes hamper for your armor. Despite all this, you are the cutest robot ever.
