•FTU Tut-Happy Easter•



For this tutorial, you’ll need a working knowledge of PSP.
I’m using PSP 9 but any version should work. 
This tutorial is my own and any resemblance to any other is purely coincidental.
Supplies for this tutorial:
PSP (any version)
Scrap kit of choice.
I’m using part of the blogtrain from Stina
You can get the kit here: www.cullenarydelights.blogspot.com 
Tube of choice: I’m using the wonderful work of  Caron Vinson.
This is a tube you MUST have a license to use.  Don’t use these tubes without a license!
I got this tube at CILM but you can get the tubes here now: www.cdostore.com 
Mask of choice. I’m using Mask 80 from designs by Vaybs.

Let’s begin!!
Open a new canvas 800x600--we’ll crop it down later.
Select a paper from your kit-copy and paste as new layer in your canvas.
Apply your mask to this paper layer.
Merge group.
Now select the fence element with the arch.
Resize it to your liking (about 80% is what I did)
Copy and paste as new layer in your canvas.
Select the grass element.
Resize it to fit each side of your fence.
Copy and paste the grass on one side of the fence.
Duplicate and mirror.
Select the eggs and grass element.
Resize so they are a bit small.
Copy and paste over your grass element.
Duplicate-mirror. And do this until your fence row has eggs in front of it.
Select your tube. Resize it.
Copy and paste in the center of the arch.
Add drop shadow to your tube.
Now select any other elements you want to add to your tag. I added the little chicks.
Just re sized them and mirrored. Drop shadow.
Then the same with the pink bows on the fence.
Crop your tag down and resize as needed.
Add copyright info and any names or text you want.
Save and enjoy your new tag!

*..UPDATE..*

Hey everyone...just wanted to post a little update about what's goin on with me.. We have finally moved! Yay..very happy..but we dont have net & things have been crazy..we're all unpacked and i have everything put away and the stress level is finally lowering..woohoo!! I should have my net connected on the 5th and will be back with a new kit and new tuts as well. Now a bit of business..my name has been used in a false accusation AGAIN from the same person this happened with before..i wont use names bc i am more respectful than that..but i will say this crap needs to stop..drama like this is what drives people from the PSP world. Know your facts before spreading false information and including my name..kindly remove my name from yor post or i WILL report you for harassment. This is insane..i dont pay attention to this persons blog or tags nor have i had the internet connection to report her to PTE and yet i am still accused?? This has gotten out of hand and is ridiculous..i hope she drops this all soon b/c it's so tiring to go round n round w/ the same person again and again.. Apologies to my followers for this but something had to be said...i hope you all have a fab day & i look forward to creating for you again very soon.
