Tutorial: Blog Button with Scroll Box

This is the best and easiest tutorial I've found to make a scroll box under your blog button. Check it out at A Heart For Home.

Here is my finished product:

Mmmmm K. My husband said, "it took you THAT LONG just to make THAT?!" He he he he he. He has no clue. I say, "ok, you do it!" He shrugs and says, "tomorrow." We both laugh.

1. Circle Text Path has to be made in Photoshop CS (not Elements) - follow this tutorial on YouTube. Love YouTube. Love this man's voice.

2. In Elements 7

• create a circle, put my photo on it, Ctrl G (group to previous layer), saved as png file
• open a new file with transparent background
• make a circle frame with shape tool, black
• make a regular circle with shape tool, white and place on top of black frame
• add circle photo
• add text path

Sit back and LOVE LAYERS. Seriously. How did anyone Photoshop w/out layers?!
