Okay now let's get started.

Open your template and press "shift D" to duplicate image and close original template.
On your duplicate template you need to delete the copyright layer, and all three of the wordart layers as we will not be using them.
Activate the background layer and floodfill with white.

Select your circle layer. Go to Selections, select all. Go back to Selections and float. Then open paper21 from the kit and go to Edit Copy. Go back to your template and click on edit- paste into selection.
Go to Selections and select none. Now go to effects, 3d effects and drop shadow. Add a drop shadow of your choosing.

Select your rectangle layer on your template. Go to Selections, select all. Go back to Selections and float. Then open up paper18 from your kit and go to Edit Copy. Go back to your template and click on edit - paste into selection.
Go to Selections and select none. Now add the same drop shadow that you added previously to your circle layer.

Select your Heart layer on your template. Go to Selections, select all. Go back to Selections and float. Then open up paper2 from your kit and go to Edit Copy. go back to your template and click on edit - paste into selection.
Go to Selections and select none. Now add the same drop shadow that you added previously.
Now staying on the heart layer go up to effects, plugins, Eye Candy 4000, glass. Now leave everything default except glass color. Change that to White. It will be on the bottom left hand side. Click on Ok to Apply and position the heart using my tag as a guide.

Go back to your rectangle layer and open up your tube or image that you are going to use. Edit copy and Edit Paste as new layer into the template. Making sure the tube layer is between the Rectangle and heart layers. Resize to fit and add the same drop shadow as previously.

Now open up frame3 under the scrapkit folder. Edit copy, and paste as new layer into your template. Resize to fit around the image. Add the same drop shadow to the frame layer.

Now turn off the visibility on the Circle layer, and the heart layer and the frame and background layer. Go up to Merge, Merge visible. That should merge the tube and rectangle sections together.

Now turn the all of the layer's visibility back on. Select the frame layer. Go up to selections, select all, Selections - float, Selections - defloat, Selections - Invert.

Now select the merged layer and take your Eraser and erase part of the tube and background that is showing through the hearts and L on the frame layer. Now go up to Selections and Select none.

Now add the elements that you would like to add to finish off your tag. Don't forget to add the © for the image or tube you used and add your name. For the effects that I did to my tag you can always use the drop shadow and the glass effect on the text. Now save your image as a . Jpeg and you are done.

I hope you enjoyed this tutorial and found it easy to follow. I will add more if I get really good feedback. Keep on the lookout for them.
