No tut for this..  ran out of time!  Look for a tut next Christmas *wink

For now ..  you can use the animations I created ~ one has a sassy, swinging mouse..  both have the mouse shaking the bell.

There are two frames ~ one small ~ one large as a card

1.   You'll Open the .mng files at AnimationShop...  think of them as .psp files but that they have the Frame Speeds preset!

• Select one frame > Copy
• Paste to PSP
• Add a New Layer and enter your text

The font is A&S Christmas Script

• I chose a color from the yellow ornaments* > Foreground = Null  ..  *Background = #EDD378
• The @ symbol enters a Santa face 
• The * (asterisk) enters a Snowflake 

2.  Copy your text *only  .. Return to AS

• Paste As a New Animation
• Edit > Copy
• 
• Edit > Select All of your animated frames
• Right click > Paste Into Current Frame
• position your text > click to set into the frames

Your frame speeds are set..  you can go ahead and Resize, if you like..  then Optimize.

I chose to Optimize (Wizard) with these settings :

That's it!

I know it wasn't much of a challenge.. but we all need something easy as pie once in a while!

Merry Christmas to you all ..!!
