Here is a template that I made for a challenge for my forum Creative Addictions, where I am a mod. It was good to see what the great gals did with the template. If you should use the template I would love to see what you do with it... You can get the template by clicking on the preview below....

Mobster Lady PTU Tutorial


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 Barbara Jensen You need a license to use her tubes. You can purchase this tube HERE

I am using the PUT Scrap Kit Mobsters II by Purple's Kreationz. You can purchase the kit HERE
