Teenagers
written 3/23/2014

Supplies Needed:

Tube of your choice. I am using the work of Vi nina. The tube is called Brendy and you can get it at http://scrapsncompany.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=113_294&products_id=3180

Kit also called Brendy is by Design By Joan. You can get it at http://scrapsncompany.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&products_id=3181

Font of your choice. I am using 2Peas Beef Broccoli and 2Peas Brainless

Lets Begin:
Open a blank canvas that is large enough to work with.
Set your background color to black and turn off your foreground color.
Using your elipse shape draw out a black circle as large as you want it to be.
This will be the background of the tag and we are going to use an element from the kit to make a floor area.
Open element 47 and resize if you need to so it will fit around the outside edge of your circle.
Open element 50 and if you need to resize it a bit. I resized mine by 85%.
Then using your “pick” tool in psp push the top 2 corners inward so they fit nicely behind your circle.
To do this you will place your mouse over the top corner then hold your shift button and drag the corner inward.
Once you are happy drag under your black circle.
Open your tube and resize her so she will fit nicely sitting on the floor.
Make your black circle layer active and go to selections select all float and defloat.
Open element 41 and copy and paste as a new layer and position in the black circle.
Go to selections invert and hit delete.
Selections select none.
Now lets dress it up some.
Open element 29 and resize and copy and paste as a new layer and move to the lower right hand side in front of your tube.
Open element 37 and resize and copy and paste as a new layer and move behind the phone.
Open element 43 and copy and paste as a new layer and resize and place in front of the phone but to the left.
Open element 53 and copy and paste as a new layer and drag behind your tube.
Move to the left up in front of the circle.
Open element 44 and copy and paste as a new layer and resize and move to the bottom and slightly to the left.
Open element 18 and resize and copy and paste as a new layer and move behind the record player and to the right of it.
Open element 46 and copy and paste as a new layer and drag under your tube and other elements and place at the bottom.
Open element 32 and copy and paste as a new layer and move to the lower left. In front of the record player.
Now if you want you can add some song lyrics on top of the circle.
I used lyrics from the song Teenagers by My Chemical Romance which inspired this tag.
