Hi Michelle,

I have only used these sentiments in Photoshop at the moment - leave it with me and I'll have a go in different program with the png files this morning for you - and let you know ;)

Knowing Sammy, I'm sure they'll be just as easy in PNG format. :D

Sorry I have only used them in Photoshop too, not tried them in PSP and im loving Photoshop at the moment :)

Hi again Michelle,

I just played with the sentiments in my old graphics program - Microsoft Digital Image and they work perfectly - and really easy too.

Provided you understand the concept of png files (no disrepect intended honest). Within the download (working on the whole sheet) you have 4 files that will directly affect the look of the sentiments. They are:

2 Birthday, 3 Birthday, 4 Birthday and 5 Birthday.

You would need to open all of these files in your graphics program. (if you can see them stacked at the side it is a lot easier)

Starting with 5 Birthday open, (which is the bottom layer of the sentiment), you would simply change the colour/texture to whatever you want it to be.

Once you've done that, click and drag 4 Birthday into this open document. - edit the picture so it is centrally aligned, and then again change the colour/texture to whatever you want that to be.

Do the same with 3 Birthday - this is the inside box.

Then finally do the same with 2 Birthday - this is the text.

And then your sheet is totally complete.

The only thing I had to do with these was download and install the font that Sammy used as it wasn't in my library. Wacky Action BTN Bold

It's a free download which you can get from here

http://www.windowfonts.com/fonts/wacky-action-btn-bold.html

To install a font (just in case you don't know ;) ) after unzipping the file make sure you save it somewhere you can remember - I set up a new folder on my external hard drive titled fonts - cos I like life easy ROF!

Go to my computer

Click and open your hard drive - usually C:/

Double click on Windows - it may ask do you want to see the files in there, click yes.

Double click on Fonts

On the taskbar, click on File - and down to install new font

On the bottom left, Click on the drive where you saved the font folder

Then on the right, open the folder that has your font in it. When you find a folder with fonts, they will be listed in the top box.

Highlight the font you want to install, then click OK

If your graphics/word program was already open when you installed the font, shut it down and restart it so it can find the newly added font.

Hope I haven't made all that sound difficult - it's really not! lol

Have fun, you'll love these sentiments :D

:dont know: Am I doing something wrong? :dont know: I followed the link to the download Debbie, but it wants me to pay $12.99 for the font! :omg: Any advice would be very much appreciated. ::):

Hi Ali,

Sorry for taking so long to submit this post - Jan rang :Chater Box::toot::Chater Box::011:

When I originally posted this this morning, I put the wrong link on - I did change it straight away but maybe you got the first one :confused:

Try the link again, when the page comes up the top box that's headed Font Details Wacky Action BTN Bold on the bottom right, click Download Win.

It does work and you don't have to pay - I downloaded it yesterday.

Big hugs :D

Took me so long, you'd already sussed it out without me ROFLMAO :Bad Boy:
