You are right...a lot of work. My suggestion is this: the tears part is on its own layer, so why not save it as a page tear? doctor it up the way you like it and save it as a png. file so you can use it again!! I have a folder for just digital stuff that I have made-- the basics like buttons, ribbons, etc. no need to re-invent the wheel, right???
And don't worry about being late...I work the night shift every sunday night, so I don't send out the posting bonuses or start the new challenge for the week until later on Monday...(once I've had a big sleep and am well awake to think!)
