This tutorial was written for those
that have a working knowledge of PSP.

Supplies Needed:
PSP X (any version will work)
Tube of your choice
Scrapkit by Kristi: Little dreamer 1
heart animation
Word art of your choice
Xenofex - constelation filter (optional)
Font of your choice I am using: P22 corinthia

The scrapkit I used was called Little dreamer 1 by Kristi. It can be found HEREor HERE
The word art and animation can be found HERE

Ok let's get started...

Open a new canvas 600 x 600, flood fill with white.
Open the book, resize, copy and paste in your canvas as a new layer.
Open the cloud, resize and copy,
back to your canvas select the white background and paste your cloud
you will have to duplicate and resize many times until you have it all behind the book,
be careful to not go away from the white background,
so when you finished your tag the clouds won’t be cut.

Back to your book, grab your magic wand set to, Freehand selection, point to point,
and at the right part of the book draw a rectangle following the shape of the book like the black sky in the my tag,
add a new layer and feel with black or a dark color of your choice,
if you wish you can add some sparkles with Xenoflex, Constelation filter.

Do not deselect, but leave your psp for a minute,
open the lilhearts floatie provided in AS, or another animation you will like to use,
select all the frame, copy, back in psp paste as a new layer,
you should have a new image with 19 layers open in psp,
closed all the layers but the first,
in your Material properties, in patterns
look for the heart frame we just open and select, ok,
back to your canvas, add a new layer and flood fill with this pattern.
Back to floaties frame, close the visibility of the first layer and open the second,
look again in your Material pallets, pattern for this frame, and back in your canvas,
add a new layer and flood fill with the second pattern,
continue doing this until you have fill the 19 layers,
is a bit long and repetitive but is not difficult,
just pay attention closing and open the following layer in floaties.
When finishes with all the layers close he floaties we don’t need anymore.

Now you just have to decorate as you wish your tag,
I didn’t used any tube but the beauty that comes with the kit,
so there is not needed to put the copyright.
Also give to all the embellishments a shadow of your choice
put the word art at the left part of the book.

Add your name.

Animation. Here again is a bit long, but with a lil patience it should come,
lock the visibility of all your floaties layers, but the first one,
Copy Merge and open AS,
paste as a New Animation, back in psp,
lock the visibility of your first floatie layer,
open the second floatie layer Copy Merge, back to AS
paste after current frame, do the same with the all the rest of the layers of the floaties,
until you have all your frames in AS, you will ended with 19 frames.

Change the frame to 15 for a smooth animation, and you are done, save as a gif.
