Happy Birthday To Me

This tutorial was written on January 18, 2015.
I use PSP 9, but it should be able to be
done in any program.

This week is my birthday, so let's make a Birthday tag!
It is pretty much copy and paste, so it should be an easy one.
Supplies I used (feel free to use your own!)

The image I used is a cute one by Gail Gastfield.
You may find her site HERE.


Scrapkit by Sassy Dede-BIRTHDAY WISHES HERE.

This scrap kit was a collab with Jenny Designs and Scrappin Designs.

Note: When you resize or rotate, it is sometimes necessary to sharpen.
Tip:  Label each layer of each element. This helps me a lot!

I also used Eye Candy 400 Gradient glow for the credits, and the name.
Font I used was Walt Disney Script.
You can find it HERE


I can't remember the font for MY credits, but I used Arial for the
copyright.

to where it fits your tag.
