Ok, so the first day of pre-school (for J) was yesterday but it's taken me this long to get the photos off my camera! For those that don't know, J is joining K at Montessori pre-school this year. As they are only 1 grade apart, they will be in the same class.

Learn how to create a scalloped tag using a scalloped brush with my first tutorial using Photoshop Elements.
1. Open file “roundframescallop.png” onto a new layer.
2. Create a new green layer above the scallop layer and create a clipping group.

3. Select scallop shape layer by clicking on it. Using the magic wand tool, select outside of the scallop shape, then select inverse to select the scallop shape out line.
4. Create a new layer underneath the clipping group and fill with white.

5. This is what you will end up with.

My daughter, K, who is 4 1/2 years old today said that if she had a magic lantern like Aladdin with a genie and 3 wishes, she would wish for 1) a magic paintbrush (a reference from Barbie as Rapunzel); 2) a magic wand; and 3) another magic lantern with another 3 wishes.
Smart, huh? I wish I could have a magic lantern too!
