Catchin' up on Photoshop Friday layouts

Every week at JessicaSprague.com, there is a quick tutorial for sale for $1 if you buy it between Wednesday and Friday. Each tutorial teaches one specific technique that can be used to enhance pages. So far, the techniques had been review of things taught in Jessica's photoshop class trio, but it is nice to have the refresher, and in some cases she teaches tricks that weren't in the classes (unless I just sped by them in the class). 

I have two more PSF layouts to do to catchup on. One is finished, I'm just trying to decide if I am using it for this week's weekly challenge or not, and the other I haven't even started on -- have to get some photo inspiration!

Templates for both layouts from Jessica Sprague Photoshop Friday series (Birthday = #3, Popsicle = #5). Papers for both layouts from ScrapMatter's collab kit "Life's Little Surprises."  Font on Birthday is Georgia. Font on Popsicle is Pea KT Polkie Dot.
