Dreamin' Big

I started using templates a fair amount because that way I could include elements (like frames around photos) that I can't figure out how to make by myself. My version of Photoshop is pretty old and doesn't have a lot of the features of the newer releases. I also for the life of me cannot figure out how to make masks--I've tried and I just can't grasp the concept. Using templates also lets me make use of designers' talents. So here are a few early LO's in no particular order:
