select, select all, select modify, expand x 4
5. layer, new raster layer, paste into selection
move below framed layer
6. repeat for the right side (before doing this, I mirrored original picture)

7. Select heart element (multicolored in the shape of a heart)
copy/paste below the photo and the frame
Do not resize *soften as needed

Hi! My name is Paully. I am known in the PSP community as I have been tagging for about 6 years now. About six years ago, my mother passed away and I turned to psp and food for solace. I still love psp and will continue to participate fully as my online family is the best! However, along with my friend and artist, Kat, I am going to embark on a year long journey. Over the next year I have a few goals in which I am going to achieve. This blog is going to document my journeys.
1. Lose enough weight to fit into a bathing suit without looking like a beached whale. (I was healthy not so long ago)
2. Save enough money for my husband to get his pilots license.
3. Improve myself at work
4. Broaden my horizens within the psp world, by learning to make stats, templates, ect
Wish me luck!
