I have had the etch a sketch frame for over a year and totally forgot about it. Thanks Chritell.

Jane, I am pretty sure you could create it. It looks fairly simple. Need to try myself.

Kim, When I found tut, it brought back memories from when I was younger, not that I am old, but haven't used one for a long time.

This is great. I bought an etch-a-sketch last year to scan just so I could do this type of graphic last year for my photography course. Here is what I came up with. (The best I remember .. it was a long time ago!)

Here was my method for getting the picture into the E-A-S screen.

1. I went to Photo Effects --> Image Effects --> Pencil Sketch (to turn the image to a line drawing)

2. To highlight the screen of the E-A-S, I went to Shape Tool -- Rounded Rectangle Tool and drew a selection over the screen.

3. I used the paint tool to make the screen black. Deselect the selection.

4. Layered my image on top of the E-A-S layer.

5. Then I went to Layers --> Group with Previous. (The picture was inserted)

I like this method because I could still adjust the image inside the frame.

Very cool! I have the E-A-S frame that I downloaded from escrappers.com a while ago. I forgot I had it (can you say ORGANIZE YOUR SUPPLIES?) Anyway - I am going to dig that out and give this a whirl.
