♥ Let's Begin! ♥

Open the template and delete the top ten (10) layers; rename and save. While on the white background: Image > Canvas Size > 825 widths > Save. Flood fill the white background white again and re-save.

Open the first close up tube, resize by 80% and add to the template. Make sure you position this tube to look similar to what I have before duplicating. Move the lower one down below the red star layer and erase the excess on this first. Drop shadow the upper layer before erasing the excess.

Open paper 4, resize by 25% and replace the cream rectangles. Open the staple, resize by 50% and add to the design; manually turn until you like it.

Open paper 5, resize by 25% and add to the center of the red star layer.

Add a new layer over the red star layer. I pulled this colour from the paper beneath it: ECCE33. Flood-fill this and remove the excess then delete or hide the red star layer. I added Tramages Tow the Line but you can add blinds or your choice of plugin.

Add a new layer above the blue circle and use this colour to replace it: CDB621. Then, add the Penta Dot and Cross setting below, followed by PDN Glow settings:

Open paper 1, resize by 30% and replace the red and blue stripes layers. Replace the white stripes with black. Add a regular setting of Penta Jeans to the black stripes.

Duplicate the glitter circle layer. On the top layer, drop shadow then mirror and flip. Drop shadow again and put back into place. Using your magic wand, click on the lower layer and then hit delete on the upper layer. Now your outside drop shadow is gone!

Open camera 1, resize by 25% and place into design. Open wordart 4, resize by 25% and add below the camera layer.

Open the leaf, resize by 18% and add above all layers to position. Duplicate, mirror, position at the top and then move below the staple layer.

Open flower 4, resize by 20% and add above the lower leaf layer. Duplicate and change the top brightness to -100 to darken; use a 35 eraser to remove the dark center and merge.

Drop shadow flower 4, duplicate and then mirror, position at the top and then move below the staple layer.

Open flower 5, resize by 20% and add above the flower 4 (upper) layer. The lower flower was resized at 15%.

Add any changes and/or additions that you would like now. Crop as close as you can without messing up the mask layer. Resize, if you need to, and then add the name of your choosing and your copyright.

Save the design now to keep static or follow the directions below to make it animated.

Open the animation and AS3. Add 6 frames of your design into AS3.

Go to the animation and Edit > Select All > Copy > Paste > Into Selected Frame > and then position it near the flash part of the camera. To check the animation, right click on the image until the grey box pops up and then look for "view animation."

Right click and copy the first frame of your design and then add back to Paint.Net as a new image.  All over frames go into this new image as a new layer; save once all layers are added.

Return each frame back into AS3 in the right order. Remember, if you are working from highest to lowest, add BEFORE the first frame. If you are working lowest to highest, add AFTER the first frame.

Apply your optimization settings (Shift + Z) and then upload to a photo sharing site to enjoy.
