This tutorial is for one of my best friends " Belle " who has been there for me and my group for the past 2 years. These tags were made with a Scrapkit from HappyHippyHoppy you can download the scrapkit from here its a very unique Scrapkit full of charm and color. l also used a template from yvette, you can view her blog here and you can download no 1 - 15 templates from here l am using template no 11 l hope you enjoy this tutorial Hugs lee xx -------------------------- A new image 600 x 600 was opened and l opened the template, l began with the main circle of the template Opening paper 20 and resizing it to 400 pixels then adding it to flood fill and filling the circle from template also adding a drop shadow of 5. When using flood fill l tend to set it on 200 scale unless the paper has a design on it l find this setting suitable l then reopened the template adding the main rectangle and adding paper 1 as a flood fill, l then opened the template and selected the frame. l added a drop shadow of 3 to the frame. Following this up with the last two parts of the template and their frames, l flood filled the middle of these shapes with the color lemon and opened paper 15 and resized it to 400 pixels and flood filled the frames l then opened the folder with wordart and add one to the tag after resizing it l copy and paste it on the tag adding a angle and a drop shadow of 2. With my tags l selected Barbara Jensen and Suzanne Woolcott images, you can locate Barbara's images on this link and Suzanne Woolcott's on this link Each image was resized and given a drop shadow of 4 when it was placed in the correct spot. l selected blingbling1 and resized it and placing it below the image with a angle and drop shadow of 2 l added the butterfly from template placing it on the top of rectangle and given it a mauve color, then adding another butterfly angling it to show the outline of the one below Buttons 4 and 6 were resized and add to fill the space on the far left with button 4 being resized a touch smaller, both were give a drop shadow of 2 Buttons 1 and 4 were resized and were placed in a row in the bottom right box, a drop shadow of 2 was added With my tags l choose to add my own WordArt, by using blk and paper 15 which is set as a background color. l used 2 peas Airplanes for all my font needs Do not forget to added copyright and license details Hugs lee xx

l have never come across a kit with so many frames and papers in it l hope you enjoy this tutorial --------------------- l first opened a new image 600 x 600 pixels and added paper 95 then selected frame 51 and resized it to 490 x 490 pixels. Once l added it l added a 4 drop shadow just to give it some depth. l then selected element swag 1 in elements2 folder and resized it to fit on the inside edge of the frame adding a drop shadow of 4. This is where l started thinking what's next lol. l added throne 2 from elements2 folder and resized it adding a drop shadow of 5, centering it to the curtain element. l added red carpet1 resized and angled it to just fit below the throne. l then added and resized clock1 and sent it down to sit behind the throne, adding 4 in drop shadow. After that l selected 2 of the Posers, resized them and placing them on each side of the throne, each received a drop shadow of 4. From the elements folder l selected Banner 5 and resized it to fit on both sides of chandelier giving a small gap between all 3 elements. All three elements received a drop shadow of 4 once they were resized and set in their spots. l then selected Crown 1 from the elements2 folder l angled it and added a 5 in drop shadow after that l selected the pig element resized it to 200 pixels and mirrored it, adding a drop shadow of 3. l feel this tag maybe simple but it also has style, thank you Brianna for a awesome kit.

This is a second version of Swing into Springs Scrapkit with a free to use image from NO Flutter. l thought it would assist in showing you can do a lot more with a kit than use the same old styles or set colors in the kit. l hope you all like this tag Hugs lee xx
