Unfortunately for some strange reason Photobucket decided that My Beautiful Tag violated their terms of use so I have had to post the Tag straight from my PC so there is no animation showing here.

Do the same with all the other layers and then for the word art open the glitter and minimize it and then look for it in your patterns in the material palette and with your magic wand click on each letter holding down the shift button and then flood fill with the glitter then add drop shadow.

Look for the glitter doodle 3 in the kit and copy and paste it, placing it at the top and then duplicate it and Image flip then Image mirror moving them slightly so they are to your liking.

Click on the top glitter doodle in your layer palette and merge down and again merge down to the mask and again to the first mask so they are all on one layer and rename the merged layer “ Doodles” also if you have used the key chains like I have then merge the two together and rename the layer key chain.

Resize all layers to 500 x 500 then add artists copyright and name * and if you are happy with your Tag and don’t want to animate it then merge all layers and save as a jpeg and your done.

If you prefer to animate then lets carry on from *

Click on the Doodles layer in your layer palette and go to Adjust – add/remove noise – add noise, Guassian and monochrome checked and Noise at 25% and okay, you can also do the same with your key chain layer now, then copy merged and take it to Animation Shop and paste as a new animation, back to PSP and click undo three times and do it all again but this time set the percentage to 30% and again take it to Animation Shop and paste after the current frame and again back in PSP click undo three times and do it one more time changing the percentage to 35% and copy merged and paste it after the current frame in animation shop.
