Waiting For Santa




Snaggable versions of this tag in my Fotki album

For this tutorial you will need the following:

Paint Shop Pro, I am using PSP X7, you should be able to use any version.

Tube of choice, I am using the artwork of Alicia Mujica which you need a license to use.  
This tube is Mama Noel from Alicia's Black Friday pack

Scrap kit of choice. I am using a PTU kit, Santa Claus by BLT Dezignz  
I have the tagger sized kit, if you have the full size your resizing percentages will be different

Font of choice, I am using Showcard Gothic

Mask: WSL84

Plugins: no outside plugins




Just remember that my choices of papers and elements is just a suggestion, change it up and make it yours! You don't have to follow mine exactly.
