Next, select your text tool and choose the font, size & color you want the font to be.  I am using "Rock It" font with size of 40 & the color is black.  It will automatically be placed on the canvas as a vector layer.  Once you've moved it where you want it to be, right click on the name layer in the layer palette and Convert to a Raster Layer.

Before we begin recording make sure your script toolbar is visible on your screen and placed where you like it.  You can find that toolbar by going to View -> Toolbars and clicking on Script.  I've placed mine here:

Also before we begin recording here a few tips: don't record if you plan on using the flood-fill tool.  I've never gotten this to work properly for me...I would suggest using gradient glow instead.  Also don't worry about making any mistakes...any undone steps will not be included in the final script.

If you're ready to start recording, go ahead and click on those double arrows at the end of the script toolbar and click on Start Script Recording.  Anything you do from now until you click Save Script Recording will be recorded.  First I am going to use the Eye Candy 4000 Glass plugin.

Next I will use Eye Candy 4000 Gradient Glow.  (All of your current settings that are being used will be saved, you will not need to re-adjust even after changing them to something different).

Once you've done everything you want with the name and it's like you want the name to look like everytime you run the script, go ahead and click on those two little arrows like we did before on the script toolbar and click on Save Script Recording.  Name your script, make sure you save it to your Restricted Scripts folder and click save.

When you want to run this script make sure you follow the same steps (type out the name, convert to a raster layer) then click on the drop down menu on your script toolbar, select the script you want to use and then click the play button (blue arrow).  The script will stop at times when you have to press okay and you can change your settings if needed.  Otherwise just click enter and watch the magic happen!  

I hope this helps someone!  If you have further questions, don't hesitate to contact me (mbalmerswifetuts@gmail.com)!

Open up your template, SHIFT + D to duplicate and then close out the original.  Close out or delete layers "12, 11, 10, 9, cr, 7 & 6", we won't be using them.  Highlight layer "1"; C/P/R/S paper 9, erasing any excess paper.  Selections -> Select All -> Float -> Defloat; add new raster layer, Selections -> Modify -> Set Selection Border with these settings: Outside, size 4.  Flood fill selection with #fa2871, add a noise setting of 40, Uniform & monochrome checked.  Add a dropshadow of choice.  Repeat the last steps for layer "2".

Now open up your elements, C/P/R/S them all onto your canvas and arrange as desired.  I took elements 90 & 92, duplicated them and arranged them around the bottom of my tube.  Now just add your name & copyright and your done!  Please feel free to send me any creations you make using this tutorial to mbalmerswifetuts@gmail.com!

You can go even further by going to Adjust -> Hue and Saturation -> Hue/Saturation/Lightness (or SHIFT + H for a keyboard shortcut) and adjust the settings to your liking.  Here's what I used and the result I got (click the preview to view it full size):

Now lets move onto the bow!  Highlight the "Bow desaturate" layer in your palette.   Go to Adjust -> Hue/Saturation -> Colorize (or SHIFT + L for keyboard shortcut).  Now we are going to change the settings to get a wonderful blue color for her ribbon/bow on her dress.  Settings shown below:

I didn't mess with the brightness/contrast/lightness on the hair bow.  Now for the "Latex dress desaturate" layer in the palette.  Highlight the layer and colorize it to these settings:

Again, I am satisfied with the coloring without messing with the brightness/contrast/lightness.  Now for the "bas" layer.  Highlight that in the layer palette.  I'm going to make it white using Adjust -> Color -> Channel Mixer with these settings:
