This tutorial was written assuming you have a working knowledge of PSP.

~♥~ Let’s get started ~♥~

Open up a blank 700 x 700 canvas.
Flood fill white.

Copy and paste Element 22 as a new layer.
Resize 25% and 50%
Use your Magic Wand and click inside the frame.
Selections/Modify/Expand by 4.
Copy and paste your photo as a new layer below the frame.
Resize as needed.
Selections/Invert
Tap the delete key.
Deselect.

To do something really interesting and fun to the photo click on Adjust.
See that long sub menu? Check them all out and see all the different changes you can make to your photo. Some can be dramatic, some can be subtle….but just try it out!

Merge Visible the frame and picture.

Copy and paste Element 22 as a new layer again..
Repeat the above step using a different pic.
Merge Visible the frame and picture.
