Hey everyone... i'm in need of some major help. I just got photoshop elements 6.0, and am trying to figure out digi scrapbooking. I have downloaded a few kits... Anyway, I try and bring different embellishments that I have downloaded onto my page, and they appear as the embellishment... with a white box(border) around them. Hellllp! :confused: I have been working on it for hours and CANT figure out how to bring my embellishment onto my page without this dang border. Any tips or advice would be sooo greatly appreciated. Thanks so much!

Hi, I answered this in your other thread:

I've read all about this in the forum and can tell you this:

In version 5, you could open a number of items (which appear in the bin) with one on the workspace. You could drag an item from the bin to the document on the workspace, where it would be another layer.

In version 6, if you do that you create a frame layer with that box around it. Frustrating, isn't it!

What you need to do is open all the items in the bin by using the tile or cascade methods. Move them around so you can see two images; i.e., one is the background, the other the paper or embellishment. Drag the paper/embellishment from one image to the other or copy/paste if you prefer.

I will look for the other threads which detail what a frame layer is.
