    I have scanned and scrapped quite a lot of my old photos plus my old family photos and slides.

    I love scrapping them, but they never look quite right with a straight, sharp edge or border. So I created my worn photo edges to be able to quickly and simply get extra realism and depth for my pages.

    My latest set are in the store now and they include fun (but completely optional) photo effects.

    They are really easy to use. If you can use a page template you can use these - just drag and drop your photo and clip.

    Here's my old photo of Blackpool in England:

    And here's how it looks on a page, with the worn edges (all I did was drag and drop, no other tweaks to the photo)

    And they work great on beach and pool pics too:

    Or even just any pic ;-)

    There's a video of me using another set here:




    And you can find them in store here

    Thanks for looking :-) They really are a labour of love for me!

    Great examples @LynnG especially showing how they work with the fairly recent ones. But I do love that image of Blackpool!
