Oh my goodness, that is so beautiful! I adore it. Wish I could do that.....maybe someday when I make up my mind to learn something.

I love that edged like that...is it hard. Lets put it this way, would it be hard for ME?

I will stare at it off and on today! You’re nice to do that!

It takes a good photo editing software program with lots of bells and whistles, and then experimenting with all the different frames and edges IN that software takes some time to play around with. I started with a pretty simple photo editing program several years ago but mostly relied on my own artistic ability, then gradually moved up to the one I have now - one that does much more complicated stuff, BUT it WILL do the complicated stuff if you just have the patience to want to learn it.

Mama_Bear uses PhotoShoppe and has mastered lots and lots of the techniques it has to offer. I use PhotoImpactPro 13, and it has many of the same edges and techniques that PhotoShoppe has, but to me, it was easier to learn - not to mention, it's not nearly as expensive!

There are also oodles and oodles of 'plugins' that you can add to these photo editing programs that will do fancy edges and borders. I don't want mislead you, but I don't want to discourage you either, because time and patience are really the key to producing different, striking borders and edges!

I think that MamaBear gave KittyMittens a link to a nice photo editor that is 'free' to download, and Kitty adds pretty borders to her pics! (Kitty also uses TABLE borders!)
