Let's begin Open your supplies in PSP...open the text and
shrink to your taskbar...open a new canvas 600x450...big but we will
re size later...open your teddy bears and copy and paste each one as a new layer
on to your new canvas...now this is tricky...what you
have to do is close off all layers of teddy and click on layer
#1...duplicate it for as many letters that
are in your name....place them where you want them around
your canvas....they don't have to be in a circle...it's your choice...
when you have them where you want them ...layers>merge....now open
the next box and do the same and place each box directly on top of
the previous layer...making sure there is no jump...they
have to be set right on top....when done close off the first layer
and with the second bunch of boxes...layers>merge...continue doing this untill
all the boxes have been placed...all done! Good...
Add a new layer and flood fill with black...re name it background and drag it to the
bottom of the stack...duplicate and drag down ...background...drag down box 1......layers>merge...
do this with each box layer, we need a background on them all
Open teddy layer 3...Add a new layer and type 1 letter at a time ,each letter on it's own
layer...size 48...colour...
your choice... I did stroke set at 1...
fill set at red.....I then took my magic wand and selected inside the fur and
flood filled it with white (this is optional, your choice) ....
place each letter in teddy's hand....like so
Add a new layer and do the same with the second letter
placing it in the next teddy's hand...when you have done all letters...
close off the teddy layer and with just the text layers open...layers>merge...
close off and re name text 1.....add an inner bevel with
these settings
With the teddy 5 layer open repeat the text only
this time have it hanging from teddy's hand
...when all letters are hanging...close off teddy and add
the same inner bevel
1)Duplicate and drag down...teddy 1...layers>merge...close off and re name
2)Duplicate and drag down...teddy 2 ...layers>merge...close off and re name
3)Duplicate and drag down...teddy 3...text 1...layers>merge...close off and re name
4)Duplicate and drag down...teddy 4...text 1...layers>merge...close off and re name
5)Duplicate and drag down...teddy 5...text 2....layers>merge...close off and re name
6,7,8,9)Duplicate layer...5... 4 times re name each layer...

Open all 9 layers and save as
Open AS shop and find your graphic and open in AS....
open your merryxmaslights....open my tree...with my tree open
edit>select all....edit >copy.....click on your graphic...edit>select all
edit>paste into selected frames....now make sure it is higher than
your teddy before you
click to place it...remmeber the teddy's are
going to pop out of their boxes.....click on the
merryxmaslights...edit>select all...edit>copy...
