Well, I got one done, but have a hard time getting the text centered. When I put it on the page it always goes too close to 2 of the edges and if i slide it the other way goes too close to the opposite edge - grrrr! Also, once I had done the text on the path, i could not add any other text because it always defaulted to the path and wanted to overwrite it! Not sure what I am doing wrong! Was fun to do anyway! Thanks for the incentive to try it!

hmmm. decided to look at this challenge on the 31st ... i had just assumed that, whatever "altered art" was, i couldn't do, lol.

gonna try to whip something up before the ss tonight, he he. thanks for the text path, even if i don't get a layout done before the end of july!

if you select both the text layer and the background layer, there should be some sort of option to align them ... in pse, it's up on the toolbar, a drop-down menu. you can align vertically and horizonatally centered, though you have to do it in two steps.

that's probably a very muddy explanation, lol. i promise i'm a better teacher in the classroom.

whipped together really fast so i could beat the deadline; got some work to do to the layout to improve it, but it wasn't so ugly i couldn't upload it, lol. love that text path, crystal! that's going to become a go-to tool for me now. :)

no dsdi.

I'm still a little bit too asleep to entirely grasp what you mean by not being in the centre, so I will come back to that one a little later. As for other text trying to add onto the path, I would guess that's because the text path is the top layer. Easiest way to fix that problem is to temporarily turn off the text path layer while you add any other text and then turn it back on once you are done. You did a great job even if you did have a few problems with it, very pretty layout. Hugs Crystal xx

Thanks, Crystal. As long as you see it to credit me, is all that matters.
