Open proud american word art, grab lasso tool and circle the word "pride from the word art, resize by 71%, copy and paste the word art on the top layer,

placing it on the journal tag that is protruding out.

Crop down as close to the edges as possible without cutting anything off,

**a great way to see where the edge of the sparkles or curves is to add a new layer on the very bottom and flood fill it BLACK.

This way you can see the edges of anything a light color and cut off any portion that is sticking out beneath the frame.**

resize to 650 on the largest side.

[You can go smaller size on this if you prefer]
