~*~*~ Let's Get Started~*~*~

Start a new canvas

600px by 600px

Flood fill with white.

Open frame 1

Add to your canvas

Resize down by about 80%

Add a drop shadow

Open pp2

Add to your canvas and resize down until it fits just inside the frame

Move it to where you where it

I did it a little more towards the top or darker blue

so it sort of cascades down in the frame

Use your magic wand to select inside of the Frames

Select → Modify → Expand, by 5

On the paper layer press delete

Deselect

Duplicate

On the top one

Filter → Penta → ColorDot, all at default

Change the blend mode to soft light

Open your tube and add to your canvas

Resize and reposition how you'd like to

I mad it look like she was laying on top of the frame

Duplicate this layer

On the top one

Filter → Blur → Gaussian Blur, 3.0 px

Change the blend mode to soft light

To the bottom tube add a drop shadow

Add your tube to your canvas again in between the frame background layers

I flipped the middle one of mine horizontally

Erase any that are outside the frame or that overlap to other frames

Merge the three together

Change the blend mode to luminosity

Lower the opacity to 80%

Now add which elements you'd like

I used the following from the bottom layer up with a drop shadow unless stated:

print 1 (no drop shadow)

beads

beads

frame 2 (no drop shadow)

frame 2 (no drop shadow)

print 1 (no drop shadow)

music notes 2 (no drop shadow)

equalizer 1 (add an outer glow to this as well)

string 1

ribbon 1

disco ball

bow 2

cd

shoes

word art 1 (added a stroke here)

flower 1

bow 1

headphones

music player

lips

Add your name

Crop your tag to get rid of the access space that's not needed

Resize if you'd like to

****Most Important****

Add your copy right information

If you're happy with your result save to your liking and you're done!

Now to animate

Add your animations to your canvas just above the frame

Resize them down to how you'd like them and move them to one side of your canvas

Once you have both of them positioned how you like them duplicate them and move them over to the other side of your canvas

I had to erase a bit of the music notes animation towards the bottom on about 4 frames

Open your animation window and have all but the very first frame open on all of them

Add a new layer to the animation window

Hide the first layer of all 4 of the animation and unhide the second layer

Add a new animation layer hide the second layer and unhide the third layer

Continue this all the way down to the last layer

Have you delay set to .1 and set to go forever

Press Play and watch it go

If you're happy with your results save as a .gif and you're done!
