Christmas Time 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 in PSP 9 but should be compatible with any version of PSP.


I am using the artwork of Keith Garvey. You need a license to use his tubes. I bought this tube at PTE but you can now buy it at Keith's store found HERE

I am using the PTU kit Vintage Christmas by Manipulated by Magik . Visit her blog HERE to find where she sales her kits and more.
