Summer Dreams

• For this tutorial I used the Summer Spritzer kit from Bits N Bobs found HERE
• Animation Shop
• Here we go
• First open a 600x600 canvas with the background color of your choice. I am a fan of purple as always but what ever you want and what works for what you have in mind.
• Using the Vines (Element-4) I have created a base by duplicating the vines and rotating 90 degrees, each of 3 times (for a total of 4)
• On top of that base I created a frame type layer useing the flowers. In another version I used the bling strings, so what ever works, just make a frame from them by rotating.
• Between the two I placed a frame of the feathers for some added color.
• I have used a mist by Christine for my tube, if this is your photography please let me know and I will give proper credit for it.
• Next you are going to want to open your Kite. I have recolored mine just a touch useing Effects>Photo Effects > Film and Filters. I used 85 and a dark purple to get the light purple I have.
• Place the Kite where you would like it to start.
• COPY MERGED
• In Animation Shop PASTE as new animation
• ******
• BACK to PSP
• Move your Kite to the 2nd position
• COPY MERGED
• Back to Animation Shop
• PASTE AFTER CURRENT FRAME
• ******
• Repete inside the ****** as many times as you would like to get the kite to follow the path you desire. Make note of how many frames you have.
• Leave this all open and go back to PSP
• On your tag LAYERS>NEW RASTER>Normal, 100, 0
• On this layer you are going to place your text, watermarks, copyrights ect. Make sure it is all on this one layer by Merging Down when you are done with your text. (A good way to make sure that is all you have on this layer is to hide all text and watermarks by using the eye in the layers pallet on each layer... then merge visible so all you have is your text.)
• While you are selected on the new text layer, COPY (DO NOT COPY MERGED!!!)
• In Animation Shop PASTE AS NEW ANIMATION
• CTRL+SHIFT+L to repete the frame as many times as you need it (I needed 6)
• CTRL+SHFT+A (select all)
• CTRL+SHFT+C (Copy)
• Go to your OTHER (Tag) Frames
• CTRL+SHFT+A (Select all)
• CTRL+SHFT+E (Paste)
• RUN your Animation

Paint Your Dreams

For this tutorial I used
the beautiful Starving Artiest Kit from Bits N Bobs which can be purchased HERE
the wonderful artwork of Suzanne Woolcott which can be purchased HERE
the mask I believe to be PSP X2 stock and I have included it in the tutorial, if it is NOT stock and the mask is your creation PLEASE let me know so I can correct this post.

Let us begin...
OPEN a NEW canvas I used 800x800 flood filled black
PASTE your rainbow as you would like it, I dropped mine down to a 75% transparency for the effect I wanted.
PASTE any other embellishments you would like. I used the bubbles and sparkels, with a 80% transparency and the disco ball as is at 100%
ADD Copyrights and wording (remember to stay away from the edges as your mask will delete them and you do not want to lose your copyrights!)
MERGE ALL
APPLY Mask
Save as a .png file.

I hope you enjoyed this simple tut! Have a blessed day ~Lorilynn

Work of Suzanne Woolcott which can be purchased HERE

Lets get started...

• Personally I felt my bacground was to dark so I put it at a 50% transparancy and I added a drop shadow to my doodle. Then I MERGED ALL
• Save this as your base layer.
• Add new RASTER LAYER and then COPY this layer and PASTE it as a new image.
• This will be the beginings of your foreground layer,
• You can choose any of the frames privided or make one of your own, I used the ribbon doodle 1 to make my own frame.
• Add whatever embelishments or tubes you would like to acchieve the look you are going for. With such light colors I always use a drop shadow to make them each stand out a bit more. Layer everything as you would like. I have my tube under the frame and the rest on top of it. Dont forget all wording and copyrights.
• When you have this how you would like it to look open up the Water Reflection program.
• IN this you want to open your BASE layer
• Hit the elips looking thing one the left and select the whole image by left clicking on each corner and then right click to get your ants.

• Using the Rain/Snow you want to make a light rain shower, I used the settings below but you can tweek them he wy you would like.

Lifetime

For this tutorial I used the beautiful work of Julie from BitsNBobs through the kit 'She Dreams' which can be found HERE
Eye Candy Impact 5:Gradiant Glow

Lets get started.

• First OPEN your bubble of choice, we all know I love purple so we know which one I chose Ü and resize it 150%. (This is to make it easier to work with while we go.)
• Create a new raster layer, transparent
• Using your ELLIPSE TOOL Create a circle the same size as the bubble outline dark gray and inside what ever background you would like for your bubble. I used a purple with the texture of wet leaves. Since you made this on a new layer you can switch to the PICK TOOL to resize your circle if need be.
• In order if what I added to my bubble I have the Element 5 (leaves), Curled ribbon 1, wings 1 and dress 2. I only added a small drop shadow to the dress because I liked the way the rest of it turned out without one.
• I flood filled my background with a landscape like fill
• Added a few stars
• Wording I used Brock Script with a GRADIENT GLOW of soft white 7.5 width.
• Added my mark (Don't forget copyrights if needed)
• RESIZE (I did 50%)
• SAVE

Hope you enjoyed this tutorial Blessed Be, and don't forget to share your results! Lorilynn

Time 2 Play

• For this tutorial I used the iPod template from Bits N Bobs which can be found HERE
• I used the wonderful Artword of Keith Garvey which can be found HERE
• I used the plug in Gradient Glow from Eye Candy Impact which can be found HERE
• Animation Shop
• Let's Begin...
• First open your Ipod template. You should see it in several layers. To colorize this what you are going to do is selcect one of the layers in the layers pallett (I am useing the base unit for my preview) With your magic wand click on the base layer. You will see marching Ants around your base.. Selections>Float>Defloat. New Raster Layer Blend of OVERLAY. Flood Fill with color/pattern/gradiant of choice. Unslect all. You will do this for every layer you wish to color.
• RESIZE to about 20% this should make your tag pretty close to 100% which is where you would like it.
• HIDE the screen layer but clicking on the eye next to it in the layers pallet
• MERGE VISABLE (this is to make things easier to find)
• UNHIDE the screen layer.
• Open your tube and place it between the two layers.
• New rater layer
• Add all copyright information now
• New Raster layer
• Add wording for tag and if you want add the gradiant glow now. Have fun with it, whatever you want.
• If you want your tag NON ANIMATED this is where you STOP and SAVE your tag
• ANIMATED TAG
• COPY MERGED and paste as a new animation in Animation shop
• BACK to PSP
• This is where you can change your tube or text by deleting the corasponding layers. Each time you do this add a new Raster layer to replace the old one and use one for the text, tube what ever you would like to replace.
• COPY MERGED and then in Animation shop PASTE after current frame. You are going to want to do everything under copy merged for each new frame you would like. I had 4 because I used 4 diffrent tubes.
• RUN your animation. This is where you decide if you would like to slow it down. I always do for things like this So CTRL+A to select all and go to ANIMATION>Frame Properties I usually use about a 65 for pics and a 100 for words, so since this one had both I went with 100.
• RUN your animation again
• SAVE as a .gif
• Hope you enjoyed learning how to colorize a template as well as working on some animation again.
• Happy Earth Day and Blessed Be

• 
  
• First pick your background layer or open a blank 900X900 raster layer.

• ADD Butterfly charm. I recolored to the darkest purple at 100% I also applied a drop shadow to this.
• ADD other embelisments and charms as desired with or without drop.
• PLACE your tube where you would like it.--- For mine I wanted it to pop out of the frame so I placed my tube right on top of my frame, zoomed in and used my free hand to select around her head in any areas the frame was covering. I made sure I had the frame layer selected and hit CUT.
• ARANGE the tune UNDER the frame layer after you have done this.
• ADD names and coptrights.

Summer memories

• For this tutorial I used
• The kit At The Beach from Bits and Bobs which can be found HERE
• Mask #179 from VIX which can be found HERE
• A picture that you can tube the eyes out of ** I used my cousins picture so I will not be shareing this**
• Lets begin...
• First I opened paper 5 and applied the mask so as to make it appear as the sky.
• Next I took the picture of my cousin and useing the selection tool I cut out around the eyes useing a feather of 2. Just enough to make the edges rounded. I placed this under my 'sky' layer and gave it a 60% transparency.
• Over the Sky layer I placed the bling curtain and adjusted the size to my liking.
• Next I added the corner pieces, I started with the top left, duplicate, mirror, duplicate flip, duplicate mirror. This should make all your corners evenly spaced.
• I added the chair to the middle... then I thought it looked a little empty so I added the sail boat UNDER the sky layer with a 70% transparency. and a 5,5,100,15 black drop shadow.
• I added the embellishments to the corner
• And finally I added my text of choice, and resized.
