Please DON'T use his artwork without permission.
-Incrediable Kit by TammyKat Dezigns called "Hollywood" and can be found HERE.
-Mask #3 by WSL: HERE
-Template #7 by Chica: HERE
-Font: SF Hollywood Hills Bold Italic
-Plug-in>Eye Candy 4000>Gradient Glow

I have added a drop shadow to pretty much every layer and I also sharpened all elements if I resized them so they maintained the same
quality as the original one.

1 Open template and delete the copyright layer.
2 Delete the wordart layers and the heart layers.
3 Click on the circle layer and open your choice of paper.
4 Resize to canvas size and go to Selections>Select All>Float>Defloat.
5 Click on the newly added paper and go to Selections>Invert and hit delete on your keyboard.
6 Delete the original circle layer.
7 Repeat Steps #:3-6 for all included layers in the template.
8 Open your choice of tube(s). I used a total of 3.
9 Resize and position where desired.
10 Open your desired elements from the kit.
11 Resize and position where desired.
12 Open the mask and minimize it.
13 Go to the very 1st layer and open your choice of paper.
14 Go to Layers>New Mask Layer>From Image.
15 In the drop down for Source select the mask.
16 Make sure Source luminance is selected and hit ok.
17 Go to Layers>Merge>Merge Group.
18 Resize the mask layer to be bigger.
19 Get your text tool and font of choice.
20 Type out any desired wording. I also used a gradient glow on the wording.
21 Add copyrights.
22 If you are not doing the animation resize and save as a png.

If you are doing the animation, follow these steps:

23 Go to the 1st layer and get your paint bucket tool.
24 Flood fill white.
25 Click on the the top tube you used for the filmstrip frame.
26 Duplicate it once- giving you 2 total.
27 Change the opacity for the duplicated tube to 50% and then hide the duplicated tube.
28 Repeat this for the other 2 tubes you used for the filmstrip frame except for these two hide the original tubes and keep the duplicated tubes shown.
29 Copy merge and go to Animation Shop.
30 Paste as a new animation.
31 Back in PSP, hide the top tube and unhide the top duplicated tube.
32 Hide the middle duplicated tube and unhide the original middle tube.
33 Copy merge and go to AS.
34 Right-click on your current frame and select Paste After Current Frame.
35 Back in PSP, hide the middle tube and unhide the middle duplicated tube.
36 Hide the bottom duplicated tube and unhide the original bottom tube
37 Copy merge and go to AS.
48 Right-click on your current frame and select Paste After Current Frame.
49 Select All and change frame properties to 55.
50 Resize and save as a gif and you are all done!!!

I hope you liked my tut!
