These Fabulous desingers give you Awesome products to work with and it is my pleasure to not only use them but by golly show them off and get you other amazing scrappers to go grab them and play!! I provide the inspiration that makes you WANT WANT WANT THEM!!! 
Soo…Laura White had a new kit Corgen up at My Digital Muse and I Just loved it! So I had to play…Well don’t you just hate it when you get an idea in your head and once it is there it just isn’t right till it is well, Right! I played with the kit and one of the awesome papers has this tooo cool torn and curled edge to it! Well I wanted to tuck something under it and well, it is a flat file not layers…soooo…thanks to the awesome tip from Scrap Girls I was able to realize my vision…and darned if it wasn’t just a way simple thing to do! I had tried every other way more difficult thing to no avail!! Just goes to show the old saying of “two heads are better than one” is soooo true…sooo…enough jabbering…here is that inspiration and even a little mini tutorial to tell you how I accomplished my desire!
Now for the enabling!! You know you wanna grab all this way awesome products!!! ohhh…one of them was a freebie from Christina Renee on NSD in May but I’ll link you up to her post in case it is still available, and while you are there add her to your blog roll…she ROCKS TOO!!
And for that mini tutorial See I didn’t forget!
To get the picture beneath the torn and rolled edge since this was a flat and not layered piece I took my rectangular marquee tool and drew a rectangle around the portion that would overlap the picture and elements. Make a copy of that section and then put a mask on it. I then used a hard brush to erase the majority of what I didn’t want to see and then used a soft brush at an opacity and flow of like 20 to slowly paint away the rest…blending it into the paper so that the shadow was just the slightest bit transparent.
Well off to shop!!! Get to clickin!! Enjoy!

Awesome layout Kristen. And a cutie for a subject too. A heartbreaker indeed.
Love the LO! And yes, I agree, if you truly love the designers you CT for then it’s fun and not work.
When it starts feeling like work, I know it’s time to move on.
