Hadn’t seen that one before. Thanks Nicole!
Nice tip Nicole. Even I can do this one.
I love these short Photoshop tips! Thanks so much for making these :)
Ha! I was just thinking about your original video of your husband smoking a cigar last night. I’ve been meaning to watch it again! Thanks, Nicole!
P.S. I love it when you’re on TWIP! Tell Frederick to have you on more often.
