A Frame for Dad

I've seen frames that have a word written on one side, sometimes the top, sometimes the side. I decided to do the same. Since I have a great collection of shapes, I just found one that could work as a frame.
Then I wrote the words using SNF Lollipop font. I erased part of the frame to fit in the words. Then I merged all the layers together (you click control and each layer you want to merge and then E).
It looks simple enough here:

This way you can apply any kind of styles you have to it, and incorporate it into your layout.
But since this is me, I decided to add 4 more frames, with different styles, so you can use them at your convenience.


This is a .png file, so you'll just have to copy and paste each one when you need to use them.
One is in a grey style, the second in blue (my fave color), next one is beveled black, and the last one is a blackstroke.
So there you go. Enjoy!
Patricia.

A Friend

Have you thought about how you make friends?
I was in the car with my daughter and she said 'Make friends with so&so because they're rich.' To which I replied 'I don't choose my friends that way.'
I believe there has to be a certain level of trust and a desire to have this person close. Some liking is involved, and not just the wish of being close to the person's wealth.
In any case, the freebie today is based on a well-known phrase.
The background was made semi-transparent. Then I added the phrase. The frame has a style applied, a metal type. Then I added the heart and wrapped it around the frame and manipulated both of them.
I used the fonts Occidental and Miss.
Have a great weekend!
