This tutorial is of my own creation and any resemblance to any other tuts is purely coincidental. This tutorial is for personal use only, using it for monetary gain is against our TOU's.

Supplies Needed:

~Gimp (any version will do).

~Tube of choice. I used the artwork of Lix, you must have a license to use this art which you can get from PSP Tubes Emporium HERE.

~Sail Away PTU scrapkit by 2 Bestiez Scrapz which you can get from Lollipops N Gumdrops HERE.

~Font of choice. I used CAC Pinafore.
