I have used Photoshop for a long time as a photographer, and used to think I was quite an advanced user - that was before I discovered DigiScrapping. Now I'm finding a whole new set of tools that I never even realised existed - and have opened my eyes to brushes, patterns, custom shapes and layer styles. I feel like a kid with a new toy!! The great thing is, just as in the digi scrapping world, there are many, many freebies out there to help with Photoshop designing. Tutorials abound and there are some wonderful sites offering free brushes and layer styles. You'll see I've started a Top Ten Design Resources Sites list - not quite got to ten yet, but if you know of any others worth adding, please do let me know.
With my last freebie, I included a little silver frame. I so much enjoyed making it, that I've made a whole freebie set of silver frames today. There are four frames included and a background paper to show them off.
I've now realised that I shouldn't be including drop shadows in my designs. If you are new to digiscrapping, please do remember to add these in though to suit you layout. The elements do look so much better with some shadowing included, but by doing it this way, you get to choose the depth of shadow and what colour the shadow will be (a darker shade of your background paper is usually better than the standard black).
You can download the kit here.

Hello. I'm teaching myself digiscrapping using photoshop. I used your silver frames for two of my practice projects. I'd like to show you what I did with my friends' daughters' pictures and your frames. How do I send the photos to you?
Hi Ethel I'd love to see how you have used the frames. Click on the little envelope beside the comments and this will show you my email address.
