I do these tutorials for fun and not
for any profit. I use them also as a learning tool to
help others learn the fun and art of paint shop pro.

All things I use are collected, the only thing I claim
Is the tag I make with these as my work.
This tutorial is written with the idea you
have some knowledge of PSP.
This was done in PSP 9 but should work with any.

Supplies

Scrapbook kit is the work of Black Cherry scraps kit I'm using is
Deep into Autumn and is a FTU kit can be found HERE

Template is work of Tracy template designs HERE

What I used HERE
Tube of choice
Font of choice>
Plug-in
Optional eye candy 4 HERE

NOTE:

All settings stay the same unless other wise stated.

Open supplies in your psp.
Duplicate the template and close the original.
Delete the top layer there with the water mark.

Image>canvas size
It gives you room to work.

Then I went back and changed the color
and added it to the words.

Thank you Wendy for trying my tut.

Tag by Wendy

Now your ready to add some accents.
I added some squirrels and a couple chipmunks.
They are in the supplies if you wish to use them.
I resized them by about 40 percent and added
drop shadow, and placed them where I wanted them.

Add the scarecrow and place a bird from the kit
on his arm>merge those layers and resize.
Move where you would like them to be.

I also added a new layer and put brush words on
and gave them just the second granite glow, twice.
added a few leaves under the wording.

When your happy with the way everything looks,
merge all layers.

Add a new layer and place your water mark.
Crop all extra from the tag, and resize as needed.

Good job we are all done.
You can now save your wonderful
creation and share with others.

Would love to see what you do with this.
Thank you for giving my tutorial a try.
I do hope you have enjoyed this tutorial, as much
as I did writing it,
and learned something new.

Have any questions or need help.
Just let me know, I'm always happy to help any way I can.
