Make ur own sidebar labels...

Would you like to dress up ur blog with sidebar labels? Well, I hope I have just made it a bit easier for ya'll to do just that.. To use these labels, just right click on the one you like and save it to ur computer..Then take it to photoshopexpress.com and add ur text to it..Or if ya'll would like to make ur very own sidebar labels, here are a few tips I learned along the way...Start off with a new file at 220 pixels wide by 150 pixels high..and give it a transparent background..Now find the digi kit on ur computer with the label you want to use..Copy and paste it in the new file..Scale it to size.. enhance it 51 %..add a shadow to it..Now click on each layer in ur layers window, one at a time and the layer turns blue, now right click, click on layer, transparency, add to selection..Do this step with each and every layer to get full transparency ( or you will have a white background, not pretty..) Now you are ready to save it as a .png  ..(this is a must...Save as .png) To use it, upload to ur favorite photo sharing site to get the html code.. I like tinypic.com...You can also use photoshopepress.com or photobucket.com ... Enjoy ur labels...

You were above me at SITS so I thought I'd check in--I wasn't sure which of your blogs to pick though! You've got a lot of great ideas here!
