***Any resemblance to any other tutorial is purely coincidental & completely unintentional!!***

Here is what we will be making :

Supplies Needed :

Paint Shop Pro X2 (Any version should work)

Scrapkit - Best Summer Ever By Wicked Creation Scrapz @ Scrappin Dollar

Plugins Used :

Eye Candy 4 Gradient Glow

Eye Candy 5 Impact - Glass

Elements Used :

Sand

Sand Bucket

Shovel

Beachball

Sun

Palm Tree

Starfish

Umbrella

Surfboard

Lets Begin :

Open a new 1000 X 650 transparent canvas. ( I know it's a big size, however depending on the length of name you are going to use you want to make sure you have enough room so things done look squished. But we will crop it down later & you can re-size it at the end :-)

Now open your Sand element, copy & paste it as a new layer onto your canvas, then re-size it to 50%. Using your move tool position your sand element to the left side of your canvas. Be sure to leave a bit of room for your other elements.

Now go to your layers pallet, right click on your sand layer & click Duplicate. Then use your move tool to position the duplicated sand element towards the right a little bit, but keeping it touching the first sand element.

Go back to your layers pallet, right click on your duplicated Sand layer & click Duplicate again. Now using your move tool position your 2nd duplicated Sand element to the right, but yet keeping it on the center Sand element. (You can use my tag as a reference to see where the sand is placed.)

Once you have all 3 of your sand elements where you want them, go to your layers pallet, & right click on your top sand layer, then click Merge, then click Merge Down. Now right click again on your second sand layer, then click Merge, then click Merge Down.

Now all of your sand layers should be 1 layer.

Now activate your text tool, set your font, size & color.

The font & settings I used are :

Font : 2 Moulin Rouge DNA

Size : 125 Pixels (This will depend on the length of the name you are using.)

Color : #2ca5e3 (Background color)

Set your foreground color to nil.

Now type out the name you want on your tag & click apply.

Then position it center on your sand element.

Now we are going to add the rest of the elements & we will come back to finish up the name later.

Open your Palm Tree element, copy & paste it as a new layer onto your canvas ,then position it to the left of your name.

Go to Adjust, click Sharpness, then click Sharpen.

Apply a drop shadow. (Go to Effects, click 3D Effects, then click Drop Shadow. Set your settings to your liking.)

Now go to your layers pallet, right click on your palm tree layer & click Duplicate. Then go to Image & click Mirror.

Use your move tool to adjust the position of your duplicated Palm Tree if needed.

Now go back to your layers pallet & move both of your Palm Tree layers down so they are both below your sand layer.

Click back up on your top layer in your layers pallet,

Open your Beach Ball element, copy & paste it as a new layer onto your canvas, then re-size it to 50%, then re-size it again to 70%.

Now use your move tool & position your beach ball element to the left of your name at the bottom of your Palm Tree. (See my tag for placement if needed)

Now Sharpen & apply a drop shadow. (same settings as before)

Go to your layers pallet, right click on your Beach Ball layer, then click Duplicate. Go to Image & click Mirror.

Adjust the position of your duplicated Beach Ball with your move tool if needed.

Open your Sand Bucket element, copy & paste it as a new layer onto your canvas, then re-size it to 20%. Use your move tool to position your Sand Bucket to the left side of your name and place it to the right of your beach ball element.
