This tutorial was written by me. Any resemblance to any other tutorial is pure coincidence.Please DO NOT claim this tutorial as your own. It was written for PSP 9, but should be compatible with any version of PSP.

I am using the artwork of Jamie Kidd. You need a license to use her tubes. I bought this tube when she was at CILM..but you can purchase the same tube at CDO

I am using the PTU kit called Summer Splash by Purple's Kreationz. You can purchase the kit at Scraps and the City

I am using Template144 By Denz Designz that can be found HERE
