*The kit I used for this tutorial is no longer available to download,
however, if you had grabbed this kit in the past,
you still will be able to try this.
The template I used I'm not sure about-
the link opens in box.net but
when I click to download nothing is happening.
I'm going to guess that maybe Punky's bandwidth is exceeded atm.
So, I am going to keep the template linked for now.
-Magik 5/22/2021This tutorial is borne from my own manipulated lil' mind.
Any similarity to any other tutorial(s) is purely coincidental.
This tutorial was written for those who have a working
knowledge of PSP and was written using PSP XI,
tho' any version
should work.
Supplies Needed: Scrapkit: I'm using a FTU kit named Check Your Chi Chis
from Amy of Amy & Leah's Gimptastic Tuts.
This was part of an awesome FTU collab for Breast Cancer Awareness.
*This kit is no longer on 4-shared for download.
Tube: I'm using the gorgeous art work of Keith Garvey.
This is an exclusive tube for those who donated for the
Taking Back PSP fundraiser in 2012.
Do NOT use this artwork unless you have a license
to do so & had donated for the tube.
