Step 1: The first thing that I did was create a rectangle using the marquee tool. Easy enough...right!

Step 2: Once I had the rectangle in place and that particular layer highlighted, I hit "Control - T" so that I could adjust the shape of the rectangle. I then clicked simultaneously the left mouse, shift and control. (I should note again that I am using Photoshop CS2) This allows me to drag out the shape in all different manners. I simply created the shape below by pulling on the left corners of the rectangle to get this desired shape.

Days with You: On the bottom of this page, I used a blended image of a clock by Anna Aspnes and I distorted the clock using the method above.

aDORAble: I'm a huge fan of loop da loops. On this page, I distorted the loop da loop to make it appear like it was circling my son and the characters.

Rain: This page is a little bit more complicated but it all started by distorting the word "RAIN" on the bottom to make it look like my son was standing on the word.
