Autumn Fun

This Tutorial was written in psp 9 but is compatible in any version.
Animation Shop is required for the animation.
Supplies used in this Tutorial
Tube is the art of Suzanne Woolcott which you must obtain a license to use.
You can find her art here.

All other supplies are from the kit Fun at the Pumpkin Patch which was designed by me.
This is available here.
Let's get started
Open up a white canvas 700x700
Open up your tree and place this on the right hand side of your canvas.
Duplicate and place the other on the opposite site.
Next open up your house and place this inbetween the trees.

Now open up your leaves and duplicate them to make a total of 4 place two of them as your bottom layers and place them at the trees.

Open up your fence and place this in front of your house and trees.
Place your other two leaves in the front of the fence.
Open up your pumpkin and place this where desired and duplicate the pumpkin if desired.

Next open up your suflowers and place them where desired.
Open up your tractor and cart and place these where you like as well.

Next open up your bear that is jumping. Place him sitting in the leaves where his legs are hiding.
Duplicate this layer around 4 times and place one on top of each other moving each one higher then the last.
On the last bear rotate him to the right just a bit and then duplicate him the same amount of times moving each one down towards the leaves.
After you have done this x out all your bear layers except the one sitting in the leaves.

Then add your bear that looks as if he has fallen into the leaves, Place him just below the leaf layer that your bears are jumping from. X him out for now as well.
You might want to label your bears bear 1 2 and so on as it is easier to keep track this way.

Now after you have done this add your tube where desired.
Add a mask to the back of your tag if you desire.
Dont forget to add your copyright to your tag.

Merge visible layers and copy and paste into animation shop.
Go back to psp and x out the first bear and unhide the second.
Copy and paste this after current animation.
Continue to do this until you have your tag completely done with the bears.
Save your tag as a gif and you are done.
I hope you enjoyed this Tutorial

This is a really easy tut. Open a canvas 700 x 700. Open template #281 by Missy. Click on the glittered oval layer. Selections, select all, float, defloat. Add a new layer. Fill with color of choice. This color is going to be blurred and in the very background. Once happy fill with the color you chose. Selections none. Apply gaussian blur 25. Now arrange it how you want it to peek out from the oval. When happy lower opacity of this layer to about 35% or your own preference.

Open heart sparkles. Copy and paste as a new layer directly above the blurred background you made. Arrange as happy.

Click on circle layer. I left this black for the background but the choice is up to you. Open tube of choice. Copy and paste as a new layer. Place inside the circle layer. Remove any excess tube from the bottom of the circle. Apply drop shadow as needed.

Open floral swirl. Copy and paste as a new layer. Arrange it so it is to the side of the tube and circle. (see my tag as example) When happy with placement add a drop shadow of choice.

I closed out the word art layers and the star layers from the templates but it is your choice if you wish to include these on your tag.

Open heart pearl. Copy and paste as a new layer. Resize and rotate slightly as you like. Arrange on the swirl as you like it. (again see my tag as example) Apply drop shadow as happy to each heart layer.

Add your text where you are happy now. Apply any appropriate copyright information. Crop and resize as needed. Save as a png or jpeg and you're done.
