I am using PSE 11 - Did you ever find a graphic that you would like to add to your scrapbook page, but it was a jpg instead of a png (white background vs transparent background)? No need to select and delete the white background to create your own transparent background, you can use the blend mode 'multiply" to easily solve this problem. From this:  To this:  Find the blend mode box at the top of your layers panel - default says "normal"  Make sure you are on the layer you wish to blend, then from the blend modes drop down menu, choose "multiply" 
Note:
To get a plain background on my clipboard and Donald's shirt, I cloned over the little hearts from the background paper

Very funny, Janice! Where did you find that perfect picture? Or did you have the picture first and find the perfect layout?

That is my granddaughter trying out one of her new faces. One of my absolute favorite photos of her - it makes me smile everytime I see it.
The thought about the themometer just popped into my head. Then a friend asked if it was a doctor's visit. It wasn't but I ran with her idea -- looked for a clipboard to use and ran into "Donald Doc" on the same site.
Photos usually spawn my ideas - not the other way around. And, I try to find something amusing - I'm not much into serious scrapping.
I knew my husband got it, when he looked at the Porta Potties at the office picnic and said - "that would make a great scrapbook page"

This layout was made in answer to a challenge -- 'outside my window' - I had just happened to take these photos - I didn't take these photos for the challenge - just 'right time - right place' (well, for me - not for the hapless driver) Can you imagine going home and telling your spouse what you did? No one was hurt. The storefront was vacant. I pulled into the lot at the other end of the strip mall just after the accident occurred. (the stripe on the left edge of the layout was made from pulled pixels from the bricks on the store front) |

Janice....I can see what you mean about creating humorous pages. They are all fun....but the baby is priceless....although I have a feeling my granddaughter would like the kitty olympics! Think I'll send her a screenshot  . |

That cat was amazing. He also fetched. I would throw something and he would bring it back but he would always drop it outside of my reach. I kept telling him we couldn't play if he didn't bring it all the way back. LOL.
He would leap between those two railings after a wadded up piece of paper - neatly going through the spindles of the railing. Then returning with the paper. Once my son missed the balcony and the cat followed the paper down to the floor below. Yikes. But he shook off the fall and came right back up the stairs to play again.
And he was fascinated by the tape measure. Any time I got it out I could not manage to measure a thing. He kept grabbing it out of my hand.. He was leaping four feet in the air in those photos.
