Tutorial for “The Past’s Touch of Class” tag
What I used:
Scrap kit from Angele designs called “"Vintage au fĂ©minin" or “girl Vintage”
http://thecreativitybox.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=1_249&products_id=3447
What I did:
I used Adobe PSCS 4 to create this tag.
1. Open a new transparent canvas 600 pixels x 600 pixels.
Use preset shape to draw a large heart. Decide on background. Use define pattern to enter a paper (papiere froisse 3) into your palette. Use new fill layer, checking off “use previous layer to create clipping mask”.
2. Choose the tube or poser you wish to use (sujet). Copy, paste, resize as needed & position slightly off center.
3. Choose vintage elements (carriage, broche 4). Copy & paste. Adjust size to taste & position as desired. Adjust opacity to “fade” the elements slightly into the background. Keep both elements appearing about the same opacity, even if it means using different levels. I n this case, the carriage is at 50% but the jewelry is at 60%.
4. Choose your text colour, font & font size. I used a brown lifted from the poser, Edwardian Script ITC size 10 for the saying, size 18 for the name, & then applied a glitter style. Use a smaller font for tag info along the bottom (Arial 2).
5. Merge visible & save.

Tube by Erica Currey http://sugarpencil.com/. You must have a license to use her work, which may be purchased here http://www.mypsptubes.com/.
What I did:
I used Adobe PSCS4 to make this tag.
1. Open a new canvas, 600 pixels x 600 pixels, transparent background.
2. Use either circular marquee tool or preset shape to draw a large circle in the center of your canvas. Fill with your choice of background (paper 02).
3. Choose a parasol (parasol 02) & copy & paste onto canvas. Adjust for size as needed, tilt slightly & align with top portion of circle. Apply drop shadow.

7. Select your font & type desired text. I applied a satin FX & slight bevel to the text. (I forgot to record the font prior to applying the effects, & the software changed the layer to no longer be editable type, so the font does not display, sorry.) Use a smaller font to apply tag information along bottom edge.
8. Merge visible & save.
I also made a quick page with Always a Lady. I had a particular vintage family photo in mind when I created it & now I just have to bug my cousin into giving me a copy of that photo! I also snagged a really cute kit by Reeces Scrap Pieces on sale at a very low price. The frogs in "Daisy Crazy" are going to make you smile. Visit April's blog for a complete list of her stores & pick up some cool freebies http://reecesscraps.blogspot.com/. I couldn't resist playing with this one so I made a tag, with tutorial & a quick page for you to download (all 3 quick pages are in the same download file but not zipped together).

A poser by Anita Lee, http://www.posertubes.com/, one of her wonderful freebies.
Please always read & follow terms of use.
What I did:
I used Paint Shop Pro XI to create this tag. Users of other programs may have to experiment with FX to achieve the look of the text.
1. Begin with a new transparent canvas, 800 x 800 pixels. You can make the tag smaller if you wish, either by starting smaller or by resizing when complete.
2. Use preset shapes, a flower shape (flower 5) to draw the background shape.
You can either set your desired background as both foreground & background material prior to creating the shape, or select with magic wand after creating the shape & fill with desired background (paper 7).
3. Choose a flower (daisy 8). Copy & paste onto center of canvas, adjust so flower nearly fills the canvas, but not completely. Application of drop shadow optional.
4. Choose your poser or tube (Dollie One Piece 02). Copy & paste onto tag, adjusting size & position as desired. Drop shadow may be applied if desired.
5. Choose a frog (froggy-daisy-for-you). Copy & paste, resize & position as necessary & as desired. Drop shadow is optional.
6. Choose your font & type desired text. (I used Art Brush size 18 for the name, size 12 for the theme words.) To make the words stand out I applied the following effects: Effects>3D>Cutout>Blue edge gold, modified to change the blue to the green colour of the frog followed by Effects>3D>Inner Bevel>Angled.
7. Merge visible & save.
The quick page I made with this kit is at the top of this post.
Last but far from least, a kit I've had my eye on since it came out went on sale, so I scooped it up to play with & you benefit. "Always Alice" by Baby V designs is a very nice kit, that appealed to me even though I'm not a Twilight fan. I made a tag & a quick page with this kit as well.

Poser from Anita Hill Creations http://www.posertubes.com/
What I did:
I created this tag in Adobe PSCS4.
1. Start with desired background shape. In this case I used the preset shape that I would describe as a squared off star. (I have been frustrated trying to get the program to allow a preset shape to be filled with a background & finally figured it out!).
2. Choose your background. If you want to use a pattern make sure you have used Edit>Define pattern ahead of time to make the pattern(s) desired available to you. Layer>New fill layer> check the box for “use previous layer to create clipping mask”>select your fill>ok. (I used paper 3)
3. Create a new layer & use the preset shape tool to create a flower shape centered onto the tag. Follow step 2 to fill with your desired background (paper 9).
4. Choose a flower (flower 1). Copy & paste, position over flower shape & adjust size.
5.Choose a heart (heart 3) Copy & paste, resize & position as desired. Move it around until it looks good to you.
6. Choose a glitter splotch (glitter splotch 2). Copy, paste & resize. Once I had it resized to my satisfaction, I copied the resized splotch & pasted it onto the tag as well, moving both splotches about until I liked the look.
7. Copy & paste your poser or tube of choice (baby blue 03). Resize as needed & position as desired.
8. Choose a flower. I used flowers 1, 3-6). Copy, paste & resize, positioning where desired & repeating with as many flowers as you think looks good. (I have 8 flowers scattered about.)
9. Type your desire text. I used Lauren Script 20, in a purple colour & then applied a glitter FX. Use a smaller font to type tag information along bottom edge (Arial 3).
10. Merge visible & save.
Whew. That's the lot thus far. Hope you like.
Enjoy.
