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.

The tube I am using as the main image in this tut is included in the kit. It was to cute not to put to use

I am using the PTU Underneath The Tree by Sweet Cravings Scraps.  You can buy the kit at Mystical Scraps & All That Glitterz
