Beautiful little FTU kit "Winter Time" by Marypop here
Thank you so much for sharing hun!!
My DBV Mask 59 here
You can download my Glass filter setting here ,
just put it in your Alien Skin impact - Settings - Glass folder ;)
I'm using the artwork of © Maxine Gadd
To use it you gotta purchase a license through MPT

Plugins used
Muras Meister - Copies
Alien Skin Eye Candy 5 Impact - Glass
and Gradient Glow
Van Der Lee Adrenaline - Snowflakes
Font of choise for your name, winter time wordart is in the kit ;)
I've used a payfont called Fleurie

Before we start, since this is a full size kit
I've been good and told you all my resizings,
my tip is to resize the elements before you add them to the tag,
cos it saves time copying a smaller element ;)
Let's start
Open a new image 600x600, flood fill white.
Add a new raster layer copy the third paper (freebie13)
and Paste into selection, deselect.
Add DBV mask 59 and merge group.
Add the circle frame resiced to 12%.
Use the magic wand to select inside it, Selections - medify - expand by 6
Copy the same paper, paste as new layer below the frame, resize to 80%,
then drag it to find the more colorful outer parts, I chose one down to the left,
when you like what's inside the frame, rightclick on the layers pallett
and choose promote selection to layer, deselect.
Then just delete the big paper layer.
Add the 3 flowers (freebie3) resized to 15%, duplicate it and resize that one
to 60%, move the big one down to the right. on the small centered one
add Muras Maister copies at these settings:

Move it below the paperlayer behind the frame ;)

Add freebie 5, resized to 30% add it below the big flower cluster.

duplicate it 2 times and hit K (to get the Pick tool)

rotate and downsize them a bit and move them where you like .

Add freebie 1 resized 10%

Add freebie 7 resized 20% on top, move it to the left, then duplicate

flip and mirror it, move it below the flower circle layer and drag it

up to your liking.

Duplicate the 3 big flowers, move it to the left so one flower

is below the red leaves (see the tag for reference)

use the Eraser Tool to remove the other two flower ;)

Add freebie 6 below the 3 flowers, resized 10%, move it to your liking ;)

Add freebie 10, resize 5%, move it to the outpart of the mask anywhere

you like, move the layer down just above the mask layer, duplicate it as many

times you want and move it here you like, if you look closely you might

se all my 7 ones ;)

Add freebie 2 on top, resize 15%, recolor to #95b5bc, and move it to

the top of the frame. Give it this Inner bevel

Then add Alien Skin Eye Candy 5 Impact - Gradient Glow

I used the Factory Default setting and changed color to white and a light

blue from the tag, add the glow twice ;)

Drop shadow on all elements I've used -2, -3, 30, 4, black.

Think I've covered all the elements now,

don't forget to add your image of choise in the frame ;)

So let's get on to the Snow :))

Go to the circle backgroundlayer in your frame

select all, float, defloat. Then add 4 raster layers above it.

one the top one add Alien Skin Eye candy Impact - Glass

- Vaybs big button (Scroll down on Settings to find it)

On the next 3 layer you add VDL Adrenaline - Snowflake with these settings

Image and video hosting by TinyPic

Just slide the Random seed button a bit up for each of the next

2 layers ;). Deselect and close 2 of the snow layers.

Add your name of choise. I gave it the same inner bevel and the glow once.

Don't forget the proper ©.

Then we're ready to animate.

Hit ctrl+shift+C to copy merged.

Open Ani Shop 3.
Hit ctrl+V to paste it.

Back in PSP, close the snow layer you used, open the next one

and hit ctrl+shift+C again to copy merged

in Ani Shop hit the paste after current button.

Do the same to the third snow layer too ;)

Select all and change frame properties to 25.

Supplies

Scrapkit is an FTU called Hallows Eve
by Jessica Woods at Gothic Inspirations here
Thank you so much for sharing hun!

I'm using the artwork of © Keith Garvey
To use it you gotta purchase a license through MPT here

Plugin used Alien Skin Eye Candy 5: Impact
Font used is Symphony


Let's start

Open a new image 600x600 flood fill white.
Add the spiderweb, then the Haunted1 Tag, resized 60%
Add the Tree1, resize 20 % move it to the left and drag the layer behind
the web layer. Duplicate it 2 times, drag one to the right and one
up on the left side;)
Add skeleton2 above the web layer, resize it 60%, use the pick tool (K)
to move it up to the right and rotate it a bit to the right
so just the head and the hand is showing.
That should be it behind the Tag let's move to the top.
Add the 2 ghosts, resize 30%, move one to the left and nr 2 to the right.
Add the Caution tag, resize 30%, move it to the right.
Add the Spooky Sauce, resize 12%, rotate 90 to the right and
put it on the left front of the tag.
Add the book, resize 20%
Add the single candle, resize 45%
and finally add your tube of choise to the right.
Remember the proper ©.
Add drop shadows to all the elements, exept the ghosts.
I'm adding my name later in Ani Shop cos you will wanna
give it away as pressies.
Then
It's time to start Animating :))
Close both ghost layers and copy merged (use CTRL+Shift+C
(on your left side of the keyboard),
If you're not used to using it, then try it and you'll find it'll open up
a whole new world when it comes to animating,
it makes the job sooooo much easyer and fun, you don't have to
undo anything and you can just move the ghost along ;))
Enough about that, lol, back to the job at hand.
Paste it as a new animation in Ani Shop
back in PSP open the ghost to the right put it below the sign so just a tip
of the hood is showing (make sure none of it is sticking out on the side
or below the sign), copy merged (CTRL+Shift+C)
Paste after current in ani shop.
Back in PSP move the ghost up so you see the head above the sign
copy merged and paste after current.
Back in PSP move the ghost it a little bit more up and to the left
I made sure the hood stayed inside the circle background the shole time.
copy merged again and do this until you have the ghost dissapearing
behind your tube of choise. Use the eraser tool to delete some of the ghost
if it stickes out on the left of your tube, cos we don't want it to appear
again on the left side of her ;) ( I duplicated it and closed the original,
before I deleted anything on the left of her)
All in all my ghost trip took 9 frames (10 counting the first ghost-free one)
, you might get more or less, no worries;)

After you've added the frame with the last little bit of the ghost at her right side,

then Select all frames (Ctrl+A) right click and make Frame Properties 35

Now copy your first frame again (the ghost-free one) paste after the last
frame. Right click and make frame properties 150.
Back in PSP, close the ghost layer we've finished animating,
and open the ghost to the left, copy merged.
Paste after current. Then copy the ghost free frame again and paste
as the last frame. (I had 13 frames by now)
on the last one you also make sure frame properties are 150 ;)

Go to the ghost free frame before the ghost to the left (my third last frame)

right click and choose Insert Image Transition

with these settings :

Add the same Image transition to the next layer too

(the one with the ghost to the left;) (my total is 23 frames)

Then test out your animation, does it look right??

If not here are my frame properties if you have the same number

of frames as me ;)

Frames 1-10 =35

Frame 11 = 150

Frames 12-22 = 10

Frame 23 = 150

if you wanna save it to add names later, select all (Ctrl+A)

copy (Ctrl+C)

in PSP Ctrl+V, then save as psp

Add a name to the original in PSP give it double gradient glow

using Alien skin , if you like ;)

add a drop shadow 1,2,60,6. copy it.

paste as new animation in Ani shop, hit paste after current until you

have as many frames as you have on your tag :)

Select all and copy

on your tag, select all and Ctrl+E then place the name where you want it

animate and save ;)

And you're done :)) Hope you've had fun!!
And congratulations on a new tag :))
