Thanks Julie Ann. I saw these and now I know what to do with them. Keep up the great work!
Great post. It explains photo masks in a way that actually makes me want to give it a try.
I love the tutorials. Would love to see more. Thanks!!
Isn't this the best way to add interest to a page?! Love it, thanks for the tut =)
Thank you for taking the time to share your knowledge with the rest of us. Your posts are always instructional, your work always inspirational. Knowing how to use Photoshop is one thing; being able to apply that knowledge to the field of scrapbooking is somewhat different. This is where you come in. Thank you again for the tutorials. I'm into hybrid, in that I create in Photoshop but cut & assemble traditionally. all tips and techniques that make this approach more appealing to more people are welcome. Thank you and warm wishes from Florida.
