Using Masks in My Memories Suite

So you like the look of masks and have seen people use them on their layouts at My Memories Suite. Are you wondering how they do it? Actually you cannot use a PNG mask in My Memories Suite, usually the user has used a different software program to get their photo into the mask and then brought it into MMS as a png file under embellishments. I tried to figure out a way to allow MMS users to use a mask without having to leave the program using what I call Fancy Edge Frames. Here are instructions with pictures to help you understand how to use the Fancy Edge Frames/Photo Masks with Memory Mixer and My Memories Suite.
