*The kit I used for this tutorial is no longer available
for purchase to the best of my knowledge.
It was a limited time freebie on Shani's blog
for a few days back in February 2015,
so you may have been able to snag it at that time.
If you had managed to get this kit either from the shop
she sold it in, or as a freebie download,
you still will be able to try this.

This 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 X1,
tho' any version should work.
Supplies Needed: Scrapkit: I'm using an awesome kit from
Wicked Princess Scraps.
She made 2 awesome Football Nut kits.
I'm using the 'Seattle' version.
* These kits were exclusive to the Thrifty Scraps shop,
but are no longer available in any shop to my knowledge.
Tube: I'm using the stunning artwork of Freya.
This was her Cheerleader- Superbowl tube.
* This tube came with Seattle and Denver layers
& also a grey scaled outfit to colorize to match your team.
**This tube was at AIL, but is no longer available.
Do NOT use any artwork unless you have a license to do so
& have purchased or obtained the tube legally.
Template: Template0036 from me
here.
Filters: Eye Candy 4000- Gradient Glow
Fonts: Fortuna Dot for the scoreboard
So Posh for the name
Drop shadow: 2 4 50 10, black.
