and paste this as a new layer.

of the frame.

duplicate 2 times. Move to top of frame and using pick tool arrange

10. Give everything a nice drop shadow and sharpen if needed.
11. Hide white BG layer. Edit, copy merged and then edit paste
as new image.
12.  On this new image, Edit copy and edit paste as new image. This
just gets rid of excess around the tag. Now size to whatever size you

This tutorial was written by me and is copyright to kwellmandesigns. Any resemblance to any other tut is purely coincidental.

I am using a PTU kit called AutumnEnchantment and you can find it at Nitwits Store HERE or use

any Autumn kit. My tubes of course are the wonderful creations of Suzanne Woolcott. You must purchase a license to use her work and you can do so HERE

Blogger Layout by kwellmandesigns

2010-07-31T08:47:00.000-07:00

I am learning to make blog layouts. Thought I would share my first one with you. When you download it will be a psp file with sepearate layers. you will need to save the header as png and the background a a gif file. The reason you save the background as a gif file is so that when you upload it to photobucket you can retain the full size.
Before uploading to PB you should click on options and select 1 megabyte file size and save this choice.

I have left the header blank so that you may put wording of choice on yours. Hope you like...Hugs..Kat

You can download my layout HERE. Please do share, but direct others to my blog for download. This layout was made using the wonderful artwork of Suzanne Woolcott and you must have a license to use her work. You can purchase a license at http://www.gorjussart.com/. Please do not claim as your own. The scrapkit used is a PTU kit from Matrioshki Designs. HERE

Delete original circle layer.

Repeat this step with papers of choice until your template is filled deleting original layers as you go.

Give all layers a drop shadow. I used 2,2, 50 & 5 with color black.

Open element 11 and go to image, resize and resize 50%. Drag/Drop as new layer above circle layer.
Use pick tool to free rotate and move to the left. right click and duplicate. Mirror image and move back to left blending with first one and resize with pick tool to suit yourself.

Add your images of choice. Place them above the background layer but below the frame layer. Use eraser tool to delete unwanted parts.

Add other elements of choices and give all a drop shadow.

Add wording of choice. The font I used was LittleLordFontLeroy

Add credits and Merge Visible. Save as PNG file.

If you want the wording to animate continue....

Before merging, or if you have merged go and undo so all your layers
are available. Go to wording layer and Selections, Select all, Selections, Float, Selections Defloat.

Now merge visible. right click and duplicate 2 times.

Go to first layer. Go to Adjust, Add/Remove Noise, Add Noise

Use these settings..Random, Monocrome, 20, ok

Go to 2nd layer and repeat, changing number to 30. and 3rd layer repeat changing number to 40.

Save as psp animation shop file.

Open animation shop, open the file you just save. View animation and save as whatever you want to name it.

I hope you have enjoyed my tut..I would love to hear from you. You can email me at mschowwv@yahoo.com..

This tutorial was written by me, K. Wellman on September 23, 2009 and is ©Kwellman Designs and any resemblance to another tutorial is purely coincidental.
Written using PSP X assuming you have good knowledge psp
Supplies Needed: Image of choice. I used the gorjuss artwork of Suzanne Woolcott. You need a license to use her work. Visit her Here to obtain a license.
Template Harvest Moon by Sabre. You can download it HERE

FTU Scrapkit Halloween Delight by Sabre. You can download it HERE

Note: This kit doesn’t contain a lot of paper choices, so when filling my template I used patterns & gradients.. or use papers from another kit..
Lets Get Started.
The drop shadow I used was 2,2,50,5 color black. Give each layer a drop shadow as you go along.
1. Open your template and shift D to duplicate then close original

2. Delete the designers name layer

3. Start at the bottom and use your magic wand to select the first layer to fill. Flood fill with color or paper of choice. Once filled go to selections, select none and move to next layer.

4. Sometimes when you have layers like the reeds, dots, ect…Instead of using the magic wand I go to Selections, Select all, Float, Selections Defloat, Flood Fill and then Selections none.

5. Repeat these steps until all layers of template are filled and have drop shadow added.

6. I erased the apple.

7. Open your kit and open each element you want added to your tag. Once opened, you can simply drag and drop onto your tag as a new layer.

8. Use pick tool to resize to suit yourself. Give each element a dropshadow.

9. Open image of choice and copy/paste as new layer. Give dropshadow.

10. Save a psp image with all layers intact.

11. Hide the white background layer

12. Go to edit, copy merged, edit, paste as new image. Hit selection tool to select your tag area and go to edit, copy and edit paste as new image. Delete the first copy.

13. Image, Resize 500 x 319

14. Add your credits

15. Save as PNG file.
I hope you have enjoyed my tutorial. Please leave me a comment and let me know, or email me your finished tag. I would love to see your work. Hugs..Kathy
