Big Boy Bed and some FREEBIES!!!

Hello everyone!! How's it going? Here it is pretty well. Guess what we did last night? That's right we changed Caden's crib into a toddler (Big Boy Bed). I have been dreading this day but knew it was coming. It only took about 45 minutes and lots of putting him back into the bed before he actually stayed in the bed and fell asleep. Check out his Big Boy Bed...




I thought ahead when I bought the crib and got a 4-in-1 that would change from crib to toddler bed to full size bed. Let me tell you it is well worth the money so that you don't have to buy a toddler bed (which they seem to outgrow in no time) or a full size. Will just have to buy the mattress. The only bad thing is when he gets up in the morning I won't be able to lay in the bed for a few more minutes like I could when he was in his crib. He is such a busy body that as soon as he wakes he's on the go. My little one is growing up (too fast)!! Sniff!! Sniff!!

Now I have some more FRAME FREEBIES for you. Donna has requested Grandkids. So, here it is along with other versions.

Questions and another FRAME FREEBIE

Hello everyone!! I hope that you enjoyed the Family Frame Freebie. I made it in PSP. I have has someone who is using Photoshop Elements 6 ask me how to use it!! In PSP I use it just like a template. Can someone please let me know how you would use it in PSE? I do have PSE5 and this is what I came up with:

Here's what I did:

Open the frame template

Then use your Magic Wand Tool and click on the frame - you should see marching ants around the frame

Next open the photo that you want to put into the frame and do all your enhancing or whatever you need to do to it

Then hit ctrl A to select and then ctrl C to copy the photo

Then create a new layer above the frame

Next click on edit and paste into selection

Your photo should be there and you will have to resize it to the size of the frame but it is below the FAMILY word!!


**If someone has a better way please let me know!!

And here's another freebie for you today:

Here's my example:



Hope you like it!! Still taking any requests!!
