waiting for buddies

I love that you tilted the chevrons, and made the cut out of the paper! The photo is awesome. The sweet simplicity of this page really drew me in - it love it!

I love how you altered the template for this and that photo is is awesome, love how you captured this!

Love the cutout chevrons and that photo is priceless!

Thank you, everyone!

Great page! I love how you cut out the chevrons. How did you do it? I had a go (in PS CS5) after I saw your page but couldn't do it (I'm new to Photoshop!!)

Originally, I was deleting the shape from the top layer and shadowing the whole top paper (and the other paper would have been in a layer underneath). Then Peppermint mentioned a neat trick on the Digi Show about using an inner shadow. Using an inner shadow is way easier! Especially since I tend to move things around a ton. For this particular layout, I merged all of the chevron shape layers together, clipped my paper to the top of that layer, and gave the chevron shape layer an inner shadow style. Hope that helps!

thank you so much for that; I'll give it a go. you're a little star!! I was trying to cut the shape out of the paper using selection tool, but it would only let me select one part of the merged chevron; it was driving me potty!! you've just saved my sanity!!! LOL!

Aww, I'm glad I could help!!
