if all else fails . . .

read the directions. At my age, you'd think I'd have learned this by now . . . not I. I just jump in feet first, thinking I can do this. Wrong. I bought these marvelous Tattered Frames and Overlays this morning on sale at Cat Scraps here by Lynne Marie Favreau. I used one of the frames around the picture of Snoop in the previous post. It was trial and error but I finally zoomed way in and hand erased all the bits of photograph sticking outside the boundaries of the frame. Loved it . . . time consuming but well worth the trouble.

That is until, insomnia struck and I once again decided to stick my nose into the passel of goodies I bought this morning at Cat Scraps . . . and there amongst all the frames in her package, were . . . . . . directions. As in a one click process to do what took me quite some time.

And this is what I got.

I am in awe. Love this stuff. And now, after having read the instructions . . . sigh . . . I'm going to be using these a whole lot more often, along with some other goodies in my stash to which her instructions apply. But, do I have to admit directions might just have some merit?????

yep, sometimes they can really help. Love those frames or overlays or whatever they are. I see you are putting them to good use!
