Clipping Photo Masks in Photoshop

Our latest facebook exclusive free kit includes 3 photo masks. 

 If you are not sure how to use these- here is a quick tutorial using Photoshop CS5.

(It would be best for the image to overlap the mask completely. However, for demonstration purposes, the photo layer is smaller than the mask.)

Black and White Exclusive Facebook Freebie

Memorex your life- in Black & White.

This is a new basic kit that can be used so many ways.

 It includes:

 11 papers

12 various elements

3 photo masks

2 sets of alpha (.png)

This kit is free exclusive to our Facebook Fans. Why do we make them exclusive to facebook? These kits take our designers close to 20 hours to create. That's a lot of time. Rather than charging you for these digital downloads, you can pay with a "like", a "share" or a "tweet"... or not.

Download has temporarily EXPIRED.

For Creative Memories Storybook Creator Plus users: here is a great tutorial on how to use our .png photo masks in your software. Thanks Kelly!

Bag Toppers

In my church, we don't have paid clergy, we all volunteer.

 Tomorrow I am teaching the little 5 year olds in Sunday School.
I love being with the kids, and they usually love me- that is, when I bring them treats!

My little 5 year old, Ryder, helped me put these together. It is so quick and easy. 

• 3x4.75" cello bags (cake/craft stores would carry them)
• One 14 oz. bag of Starbursts 
• A Stapler
• 3x5.5 Photogaphic Prints 

Cello bags and your own custom topper can be used for so many things!

Last year for Valentines, we filled bags with the big 1" bubble gum balls (all red & pink) and topped them with a bright matching photo paper topper.

The bonus to using photographic paper for this type of hybrid project is that when you crease the photo- you aren't having ink rub off on the fold--- because there is no ink!
