Hey folks, here’s the first premium resource of 2011! I’m excited about this download because it’s a real time-saver, packed with features that will help you create blog posts with pretty layouts fairly quickly. These blog photo templates are versatile and modular and best of all, you can turn the following options on or off with layer visibility: drop shadows, borders, and caption labels. You can also change the photo border color or apply a pattern or texture instead.
Here’s a quick demo showing you how I created these owl layouts. Please watch in fullscreen to see all the steps clearly:
These templates use clipping masks. If you’re not familiar with clipping masks, please check out this pixel pointers tutorial.
To populate the templates with your photos:

Thank you, thank you, thank you! I’ve just purchased these and your other set from the Marketplace… they will save me so much time :)
OH MY, those colours are perfect!
Looks like you were a very busy girl during your holiday hiatus!! These look AH-Mazing!! I’m so excited! I’ve recently discovered digital paper, so I know I’m going to have so much fun making collages with these :) Thank you!
Yay! Love this as the first download of 2011! Can’t wait to see what the rest of the year brings us!
Your video was awesome! I loved watching your whole process! Thanks for sharing your talents once again!
Hi Katrina! I just downloaded these — can’t wait to try them and watch the video! yay! :)
Thanks for posting the how to video. It is great to see how everyone uses Photoshop just a little bit differently. It gives me new ideas on how to do something in Photoshop that might be a bit quicker then the way I’m doing it now.
I love these! Such a time saver, I already started using them.
Thanks so much, Katrina!! Love these.
Love, love, love. Thank you!
Bah! These can’t be opened in Photoshop Elements. Maybe I should splurge on the full version. These templates sure make me want to!
Love this! Thanks too for always including cool fonts and their names/links.
Thank you!!!!!
I realized today that I need to put together one page with images of my products (but I have crappy iPhone pics I’ve been dressing up individually) and you saved the day!
