Heya PA readers!
Ready for another Freebie Friday?
I've got TWO.. yes TWO tutorials for you today. I really didn't plan it that way, but I ended up with a really long one, and wanted to split it in two in case some of you didn't want to listen to me for 20 minutes (though I can't imagine why ;) )
So.. today we're finishing up our "series" on texturing/grunging. I'm going to show you a neat method to make easy grunge borders like this one:
So.. to start off.. this tutorial will show you how to make basic grunge borders:
After that Tutorial you'll go on to this one to learn how to personalize the borders and add your own special touches: (It may not be available yet, it's still uploading, so be patient)
And as always, there's a freebie. This weeks freebie is going to make the displacement maps (watch the tutorial to see what I'm talking about) and then after you save those you can use the action to make your own borders easily and on any size photo.
Also, remember to leave me a comment, hello, suggestion, whatever in the comments and you may win your choice of action sets (Winner will be posted on Monday, so check back then!)
And THIS week's winner will win a set of the brand spankin' new phaunt EXTRAS set.. still yet to be released. I'm still finishing up the set, but this weeks winner will not only get their choice of color or b/w , but they'll get to have the new extras set before it's available for purchase.. how cool is that?
Remember, I LOVE to see examples of what you're doing with the tutorials, so if you leave me one that just might help your chances of winning. And who knows, I may give away more than one set this week.. You never know ;)
Have a great weekend everyone! :)

Kylie,
Thank you for taking the time to share you knowledge with all of us. I don't have time to take a course right now, but tune in every Friday night while my husband works to see what you have to teach us. I would love to post a photo of some of the things I am doing w/your tutorials, but can't figure it out.
Kylie,
Love your tutorials and actions. I have learned so much from you!
Thank You!
Rene
Kylie,
I LOVE your tutorials! I have learned so much from them!! What more can I say but THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU!!!!
You rock, Kylie. Thank you so much for your generosity! I didn't download the freebies, but I did enjoy the tutorials and have just tried my very first grunge border. Well, I have tried them in the past, but your tutorial has made them much easier! Thanks again!
I just found your blog. Loved the grunge border tutorials! Thanks so much for sharing them and the actions! can't wait to play and to look at the past posts/tutorials!
Thank you so much for sharing this with us! I have wanted to make my own border and had no idea how. This is invaluable!
Thanks for the tutorial. Even though I am a humble Elements user I can use most of what was in there and I am looking forward to trying it out. I will be checking your future tutorials (and any previous ones!). Thanks again :)
Thanks so much for the tutorial - I found it so easy to follow and really look forward to having a play with this.
Cheers

Once again thank you. I totally appreciate you taking the time to help us. I have been using Photoshop for years and have learned more from your site than I ever thought possible.
Kylie, Thank you so much for your tutorials. I know how hard it is to dedicate so much time to all of us with a small family to take care of. I sent you, under separate cover, a little pick-me-up because you sounded tired during your tutorial. Hope you got it and enjoy!
Yay! Thank you - making borders is a skill that has eluded me. This tutorial is a big help.
Thanks for the great tut, Kylie. You make it so easy to learn this stuff. I look forward to Fridays in a different way now...janie
Thank you so much for your tutorials! I have learned oodles just from watching them over the last few weeks! Thank you thank you thank you!!!
Kylie - You seem to outdo yourself every week. I learn tons from the tutorials -thanks for putting them in simple easy-to-understand terms & that we can repeat. It's fun learning this way! Plus you always give us a bonus! You have a heart of gold! Thanks for making us all better!
Hey Ky, I love your tutorials. I learn so much from them, and it is really fun trying things out after watching them. I really liked this tutorial cause I have always been confused about how to make borders. Anyways, if you would like to see the one that I made earlier, go here: http://www.flickr.com/photos/anbradl/1460123060/

I already left you a comment and example over at ILP, but I wanted to let you know here as well that I have been following your tutorials every Friday since the "grunge brushes" one (even the weeks I end up not commenting) and that I really think it's amazing what you're doing here, taking the time to teach everyone to do for themselves.
It reminds me of a saying that is something along the lines of "give someone a fish, and you'll feed them for a day; teach someone to fish, and you'll feed them for life".
Lots of Love

Kylie once again you ROCK!! I have learned so much from your tutorials, they are always so clear and understandabel and just want to say thanks for taking the time to do this and sharing with us! You're awesome!
You ROCK Kylie!!!
Thanks for the freebies you are so nice to share.
Thank you, Thank you, Thank you!! I just found your wonderful site and it has answered some of my photoshop questions! Finally a tutorial that you can learn something from!! You make it all look so easy! Now I can customize my photo's without having to search for just the right border, because now I can do it myself!!
Looking forward to what else you have in store for us!
Have a great Day!
Jodie
