Great thread, Mary!
I find that 90% of my LOs have to have an edge going around them. Weird. I guess that I feel like my photos & elements are going to fall off of the page without an edge!
I would love to try new things, but time is a real issue with homeschooling 3 kids. I could spend my days (make that weeks!) doing LOs, but family duties get in the way! I dream of taking photoshop classes, photography classes, doing internet research on PS ideas & techniques...someday....
