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 in PSP 9 but should be compatible with any version of PSP.

I am using the PTU kit Times Like These by Sweet Cravings Scraps. You can buy the kit at TKO Scraps, Exquisite Scraps, and Scraps & Tubes
