I just used Billie’s table threads and copied what she did, changing backgrounds, widths, adding and subtracting frames,collected backgrounds and experimented..
I studied a look I liked..got some tips from Billie about putting text inside a table and then later learned how to put text on a picture..I found that on the internet on some helpful site.(I mean regular text I type)
I made many mistakes...still do but usually no one sees them...Some of my mistakes turned out better than what I was aiming for..LOL
I save my framed graphics to a notepad. I don’t reinvent the wheel...I reuse frames all the time..just adjusting them as needed. Copy and paste in preview, put in a new graphic, put in new width numbers, look for the right background and change it up.
I think my best frames were patriotic at first.
