I'm so happy that I learnt to digitally "ink" the edges of my paper while doing this layout. This is one effect that I really love to use on my paper layouts and I'm glad I learnt to do it on PS as well!! Love it! Love it!

For those who are interested, here's how for those of you using PS CS5
Go to your paper layer, under effects, select "Inner Glow"
I used a dark brown for my glow colour.
And here are the other settings:

• Blend Mode - "Color Burn"
• Opacity - eyeball this. but usually more than 75%
• Noise - I sometimes didn't bother with his as the line was thin.
• Technique - "Softer"
• Source - "Edge"
• Choke - 1%
• Size - I eyeball this. But it's at about 50%
• Contour - "cone (deep)"
• Anti Alias - checked
• Range - 45%
• Jitter - I eyeball this. I really can't tell what difference it made.

(* I learnt this from a tutorial in Scrapgirls. The instructions there are so darn easy to follow!!)
