There are ALOT of layers in this tut,
so if your a beginner dont be intimidated,
I will do my best to make it simple for you :o)

Lets Begin :-)
Go to your view tab, on the top of your psp,
Palettes, make sure that, layers~materials & tool options are selected.

New Image~white background
595 X 420 (wierd I know but thats the size that worked for me lol)

Open up your paper you want to use as a back ground, (I used my dark plaid pattern)
Edit copy over to your white backroud, edit, paste as a new layer.
Layers ~ Duplicate.

Layers, new mask layer,from image- find your first mask
(if you are using the same ones I used, then use image 3-1 first)
Go to layers, merge, merge group.
Now click on your second paper layer, and do the same thing but with your second mask (2-1)
Move this layer down a bit.... so they are even top to bottom
Layers, merge, merge down.

(If you are NOT doing the shatter effect, then just skip over this lol)

Layers, duplicate. Resize 75% (make sure all layers is unchecked)
Effects, Plugin~Find your Alien Xenofex~Shatter.
I left the settings as they where, except I changed the speed, til I liked how it looked. OK

Now click on the first masked layer we made, change the opacity from 0 to 60 ish.
Click on the shattered layer again.

(because anything we add, we want it to go ontop of this layer)
Copy & Paste your frame as a new layer
(if your using your own resize as needed or one from my kit, then resize it 85%)
Now...... where it landed is perfect so we dont want to move it lol
we just want it as a guideline.

Now you can Copy & Paste your accents
(flowers & leaves etc) that you want to go behind your frame,
for now we are going to build it on top of the frame.
For each one you add, add a drop shadow,
I used V 2 & H 4 Opacity 69, Blur 6, Color Black

NOW..... once your done all of that go to your layer palette
click on your frame layer and drag it up, so that it is the top layer.

Using your magic wand click inside the frames
Go to selections, modify, expand 4
(if using the one from my supplies expand 20)
Selections, Invert

Copy & Paste as a new layer
the same paper you used originally for the background
Delete.
Now Copy & Paste your tubes inside the frames as new layers
and delete.
Selections, select None.
Click on your tube layer, and lower the opacity to your liking.

Again, we want the frame on top, so drag it up lol
Add a drop shadow.

Now you can add your tube and other accents.
Dont forget your dropshadows!

Once your done all of that fun stuff,
Now its time to add your Name, watermark and copyright info.
Go to layers, merge all flatten.
IF you dont want to animate it, save it as .jpg and Yay your done!!!

If you DO want to animate it,
go to edit, copy..... over to animation shop.
Paste as a new image.
Go to edit, duplicate. Duplicate again.
Until you have 9 frames.

Now open your animated kisses.
Edit select all, Edit - Paste into selected frame.
Using your tool, paste your kiss where you want it on the left frame.

Now, we want these kisses on the right frame too, sooo
Click on your kisses again
Go to animation, mirror.
Edit, paste into selected frame (place on your right frame)
Almost done lol

Go back to PSP and copy your tag again.......
Over to animation shop, click on the first frame of your tag.
Edit & Paste before selected frame.

Edit Select all, Animation, frame properties.
I changed mine to 45, but you choose what you like.
(you can click on the view animation button in the top righthand corner to view)

Save as .gif and YAYYYYYYYY your finally done lol
I hope you enjoyed this tut, Thank You for trying it!
