It's Saturday and time for a new Creative Effects Challenge! I found a few new ideas and ways to use tools in Photoshop Elements in this one. It is another great davrodigital video tutorial on how to use the cookie cutter tool to create a border: Using the Cookie Cutter to create a border in Photoshop Elements. In the video he is using PSE v11. A couple of differences from PSE v14 I noticed were that Fill Layer is now under Edit, and the Cookie Cutter tool is now bundled with the Crop tool. If you run into any other issues please don't hesitate to ask! Here is the result I obtained by applying this effect to a contrabassoon player; I am looking forward to seeing what you come up with!  |

Just adding some clarification.
Adobe has not changed the location of the Fill Layer command; it was and still is under the Edit menu. There is a mistake in the video. He says "We are going over to Image . . . We are dropping down to Fill Layer." but, as my screen shot shows, he clicks on Edit to bring up the Fill Layer command.
As to the Cookie Cutter tool -- The location change of the Cookie Cutter (which is now nested with the Crop Tool) occurred in Elements 12. Also, its shortcut changed from Q to C (the same shortcut for the Crop tool).

Thank you Tom for this challenge. This one is right up a scrapbookers street I would think. I used Crop Shape 33, added a touch of perspective and Bevel (down). Kit used for the BG and other embellies 'The Lonely Fisherman' by sarayane. Pic from Serif Graphics.  |

Thanks for getting us started Lillias ! I thought this might be a known/useful technique for scrapbookers. Your embellishments work very well to complete the image! |

As Billie Jean has already mentioned - this technique makes an excellent addition to any scrapbook page  |

How about another one I think it adds a little more interest to a collage than rectangles do Although looking back at what others have done, this isn't really in the spirit of the original challenge - they aren't exactly 'framed'
gotta try again   |

How about a framed, frame. I like that one cats4jan! It kinda looks like a framed found-art. |

Did the following tweaking:
- Ran my Old-Fashioned Hand-Tinting action on the file before starting the tutorial.
- Ran Panos’ Open Booklet action.
NOTE: Click on image for larger size.
