suggestions for grunge border sources

[msfvirginia]

Ive seen some really cool senior portraits online that use grunge borders. Ive tried to design my own in photoshop, but they never look right. I was hoping someone here had some good resources for this. Preferably royalty free. However some pay ones will be considered later after I've done some senior portraits and have some money in the expenses fund.

I'm trying to find some examples on google images but I'm not finding what I'm looking for atm. I will have to try again tomorrow. Hopefully people understand what I mean by grunge border.

Select an area with the rectangular marque tool and turn on quick mask. Then open the filter gallery, in this case I used sprayed strokes. Apply the filter, click off quick mask, reverse the selection and fill. Play around with it and you can come up with other variations, also don't forget you can stack the filters. In this case I stacked two.

Thanks, but that's the sort of thing I was making, but I don't like the sides being pretty much the same. I want it to be a bit more random.

The sort of thing I'm looking for is something like this
