Ok, grab a cuppa, and a munchie, and let's go!!

Please remember to SAVE your work often, RENAME your layers, and if you feel you have really messed up.... Remember that UNDO is your bestest friend!!

Create a new Image 700x300px, transparent background 72 dpi. Name and save the file whatever you wish.

Copy and paste your closeup tube, over and over again flipping, rotating and position until the whole canvas is covered. Merge Visible.

Go to Filter>Toadies>What are you? With these settings.

Then apply Filter Factory L>Send Me An Angle with these settings.

Filter>Sharpen>Sharpen Edges. Do this two or three times until you get an effect that you like.

Apply Xenofex>Constellation with settings of your choice.

Duplicate and set the Blend Mode of this layer to Hard Light and Merge Visible.

Create an new raster layer. Select>All >Select>Modify>Border. Set it at 10px. Using your paint bucket, flood fill with a color of your choice. Select>Deselect.

Filter>Noise>Add Noise. 30% Uniform, Monochrome checked. Add a drop shadow of your choice.

Create new Raster layers.

On the bottom Raster layer Grab your Rectangle tool and draw out a rectangle that goes from left edge of the canvas, to the right edge. Extend it out a bit so you make sure that you cover the edges.

Just above your layers palette there is a tab that says Paths. Click on that tab. 

Right click on Work Path and choose Fill Path. Choose whatever color you would like. Click back on your Layers tab.

Change your Forground color to one of your choice. Grab your brush tool. And choose your heart with the following settings.

Make the top layer active and click back on the Paths tab, right click and this time choose stroke path. When the box pops up, choose Brush and make sure the pressure setting is unticked. Right click on work path for the last time and choose Delete Path. Apply the following layer style.

Right click on the hearts layer and choose Copy Layer Style. Then go to Layer>Layer Style>Create Layers. 

Right click again on your hearts layer and choose Paste Layer Style. Double click on the layer to bring up the Belding options. Uncheck all except the Drop Shadow. Leave all settings the same except the angle. Change that +90 degrees.

Close off all layers except your hearts and your layer style and Merge Visible.

Grab your brush tool. Select your star and a color of your choice. With the following brush settings

Create a new layer and stroke your brush in an up and down fashion across the upper half of your canvas, above the hearts.. Almost like drawing rolling hills.

Create a new layer and do the same thing on the lower half of your canvas.

Apply noise at 30% Gaussian, monochrome checked. Apply drop shadow and stroke of choice.

Drag and drop your tube to the middle of the canvas. Add a drop shadow.

. Add your name and © information. With What ever effects you would like to add.

Now, if you do not plan on animating Add your word art however you would like. Save to web as a JPEG and you are finished.

If you are animating, please continue on.

Make sure your Animation Window is open. If it isn't go to Window>Timeline (CS6) or Animation (earlier versions). You should now be able to see it at the bottom of your workspace.

Each word HAS to go on it's own layer.

With one type of font in a size and color of your choice. Type out

I'm

High

And

All

AGAIN, each one on it's own layer. Add any effects that you wish to add.

In another font size and color of choice type out

Class

Sass

Add any effect you wish to add.

Position I'm, and High layers to the left edge of the canvas just under your hearts layer on top of the rectangle. Then position And, and All to the right.

Position Class below I'm and High. Position Sass below And and All.

Make sure all your layes are where and how you want them to be..

Close of all text layers except for your name and © info. Make sure all the rest of the layers are open.

Click on the button that says Create Frame Animation (CS6.... earlier versions don't have the timeline so it is already set)

You will see that your first frame is there for you already FRAME 1. Click on Duplicate frame. It looks like a piece of paper with a folded corner.

In your layer palette, unhide the words I'm and And You now have FRAME 2

Go back to the animation window and click duplicate frame.

Back to your layers palette, unhide High and All. Make sure they are positioned next to the previous words. You now have FRAME 3

Back to animation window. Click duplicate frame.

In your layers palette, click on the word High and CTRL click on the word All. With your move tool or your arrow keys, move these words to the right, as far as you want them to go without cutting off any shadow.

In your animation window click on FRAME 3 then click on the Tween Animation button. It is right before the Duplicate Frame button. Looks like 4 fading squares.

When the window pops up choose these settings

You now have FRAMES 4 5 6 and 7.

Duplicate FRAME 7. In your layers palette unhide Class and Sass. Activate the Class layer by clicking on it then CTRL click on Sass. Lower the opacity to O%. You now have FRAME 8. Duplicate FRAME 8.

In your layers palette bring the opacity of the Class and Sass layers back up to 100%, then lower the opacity of the I'm High and the And All layers to 0%.

Click on Frame 8 and then click on the tween button. Leave all settings the same except change the number to 10. You should now have a total of 19 FRAMES!!.

Almost done now. Duplicate FRAME 19 to make FRAME20. Click on the tween button and this time change the drop down to With First Frame, and change the number of frames to 2. You should now have a total of 22 frames.

Since Frame 22 is already selected SHIFT click on Frame one. Set your Frame Delay to 0.1 seconds.

Click on FRAME 2 and CTRL click on FRAMES 3 7 and 20. Change the Frame Delay to 0.5.
