Let me just say that scrappers are making awesome templates and most of them don't need any extras to make your tag look good,but so that my creations won't look like every one else... I change the color and added a few extra elements from the kit and moved a thing or two.

     LET'S BEGIN

Open up Template and ShiftD and close original...delete copyright layer
close all layers except the background layer...the one we'll be working on

Add paper of choice from the kit/copy/paste and
Go to layers/Load/save mask/load mask from disk/ and find your mask of choice...with these setting

create mask from source luminance..../orientation: fit to layer.../Options: Hide all masks/load
Layers/merge/merge group...I resize the mask so that it showed only in the window
now go to the snow layer and duplicate and merge down so that the snow will show better

On the main fill layer I chose a color from the kit and load in color pallet box-then I used the
target brush and color the entire main frame....you can leave it like it is or you can now
choose a paper of choice and fill in the rectangle boxes like I did.-merge this layer down on top
of main fill layer/the main outline layer I left as is.

On the Blind fill layer I also change the color by going to adjust/hue saturation/colorize
hue-255/saturation-177/click ok...on the rect outline I added a paper to the border/merge down.

For the tree layer and tree frame I removed them and replaced it with the tree from the kit
resize and give a drop shadow...Now add any other elements you want, giving them a drop shadow.

For the text layer go to adjust/colorize and give it the same color as the blind fill layer...
now hide that layer, we will open it later

what I did for the X-mas spray layer was used the Christmas balls in the kit, but I resized them
first...after applying them merge down the layers so that they are all on one layer/sharpen and give
a down shadow them merge down on top of X-Christmas spray layer.

Now Copy/paste your tube of choice/resize and give a drop shadow...now reopen your text layer and
place it where you can see it.

Resize the whole tag before you add copyright and watermark and your done!!!!

Template of Choice: I'm using Template#127 from Blissfully Beth..She has some awesome items on her blog.

Font for name is Santa's Sleigh Full and copy write is always done in Pixelette ... Get them HERE

Drop shadow use through out H-2/V-2/O-50/B-5


     LET'S BEGIN

Open up Template and ShiftD and close original...delete copyright layer
close all layers except the background layer...the one we'll be working on
What I did was pick a shade of red from the tube I'm using and added it to the
color pallet..then I used the color target brush to color the background the
shade of red...now close all the layers except for the gray vert rec...using
the magic wand click on the inside a color fill it black ( or color of choice
depending on what tube you are using )...now repeat process using red for the
white vert rec...add drop shadow...

now go to red circle 2 and white circle2 and open them...click on the inside of
the red circle with your magic ward /select/modify expand by 2 and place your male
tube the way you want it. I used a close up shot...go to white circle and invert
and then go back to tube layer and delete...select none...(make sure you cut all
excess tube left over so you don't have black lines on your tag when you're done)
do the same this with the next circle(for this one I chose the body image)

Now you have a choice of using the large word art or the three smaller word art.
I chose the three small ones...it's up to you...Place you male tube on your tag
where you want him and give a drop shadow...now place the female tube where you
want it and give a drop shadow..now you may need to move your word art around
a bit to get the effects you want.make sure all layers have a drop shadow except
the word art layers...resize your tag and place copyright and watermark.

You are done!!!! Thank you for using my tutorial
