Instructions on how to use Frame Freebies...

Good Sunday morning!! How is everyone? Pretty good here!! I have been asked from several people on how to use the Frame Freebies. So, here's a little instructions on how to use them. These are for both PSP and PSE - those are the other two programs I have. Although most should be similar.

**Bring up your frame
**Select your magic wand tool
**Then click anywhere on the frame and then you should see little marching ants around the frame as well as the letter/symbols. Make sure that all of the letter have the little marching ants around them as well as in the little holes in them, such as the letter s A or D (to do this hold down the shift key and click in the little holes in the letters to make sure the marching ants are in there.
**Pull up the photo that you want to use.
**Click on select at the top and then select all (this is for PSE). Then click on edit and copy. For PSP simply click on edit and copy.
**Then go back to the frame layer. Go to layer at the top and click on add a new layer. (I do this so that if I don't like it I can simply delete the photo without messing up the frame).
**Next, click on edit and paste into selection.

Waaa-laaaaa - your photo should be in your frame now!! I hope this helps!! These instructions can be used for any templates that you may have - of course you will do the layers in different stages on most templates!!

I also had someone ask if I was going to be doing any Baby's Firsts frames. Hadn't thought of those - but thanks for the wonderful suggestion. I will get right on those. If you all have any other ideas and have suggestions for the Firsts let me know!! Hope you are having a wonderful weekend!! See you soon!!

Info and a FREEBIE...

Hello everyone!! How is everyone out there in digiland today? Me, pretty good. How was your Thanksgiving? Mine, was pretty good. Spent lunch at my cousins house. There was just my Mom, my brother and his fiance, my cousin and her husband, their daughter and son in law, and of course there was my family. The food was yummy and I finally got some rice dressing that my mom makes. YUMMY!! Others in the family have tried to make it but none of them come out as good as MOM's!! hee hee I have to remember to get that darn recipe. If I do I will share. I have never tasted any ones (other than my Grandmothers) that taste as good as here. Anyway, we spent the late afternoon and evening with Bentley's parents. But I was really too full to eat much there. Anyway, it was a great Thanksgiving!! Just thankful to be with family!!

Well, have you seen all of the blogtrains going on around in digiland? Check these out - I just want to say a big "THANK YOU" to all the people who participated in each one of them!! It renews my spirit in mankind. But then my digi-community always does.
