To achieve this
effect, choose a
suitable photo.
At right you can see the
original photo...I
decided that I wanted her head to extend out
from the top of
a frame.
Open
your background paper (I colorized
the flower paper from the Growth Spurts
Paper Pak to
coordinate with the pink in my daughter's
nightgown).
Choose your frame and
drag onto the
layout. Add your photo
to the page.
Image editors
offer a wide
assortment of tools to use
for this
technique, and I
will use the
Eraser Tool to erase part of the background of
the photo.

Place
the frame over
the photo and
position where
desired. In this example I
have the frame across her forehead. With your
Rectangular Marquee Tool,
select the portions of
the photo that
overhang the
edges of the
frame on the
sides that you
will not have
anything
extending from.
Select Edit>Cut
for each
selection to
remove. In this
example I will
delete the
left, right and
bottom.
Select the Eraser Tool.
Adjust the brush setting to a Soft Round brush
(I used 40 pixels).
Adjust the size
and softness to
your needs.
On
the lower photo layer you will have to use your
Rectangular Marquee Tool, once again, to erase the
part of the photo that
should not extend
on the other
three sides (if
needed).
