1 tube of choice – I used the beautiful artwork of Christina Lark which can be purchased from PSP Tube Stop. You must have a license to use.
Font of choice - I used Coneria Script here
“Bountiful Basket” is a tagger size scrap kit created by Dillie of Dillie’s
Designs and can be purchased from Lollipops n Gumdrops. You can visit
her blog here.
This tutorial was written assuming you have a working knowledge of PSP.
~♥~ Let’s get started ~♥~
I spent hours making this tag using Tracy’s Easter Template 6 here. When I began to write this tutorial I
realized the link to it was no longer valid.
I have tried to get in contact with her several times in the last few
weeks about the template links here and there no longer being valid and have
had no luck at a response. So until I
hear from her this will be the last tutorial I use her templates on. Since it goes against her TOU to upload them
to share I have written this tutorial so that you can create the template on
your own. I want to be sure you
understand that the shapes and placement of the shapes you create IS NOT OF MY CREATION. Tracy gets all the credit for that. Keep your fingers crossed I hear from her as
I just love her templates!!

Hi Beverly!
ReplyDeleteI am so glad you walked us through creating this! It is a great lesson. I downloaded the easter set on 5/17 and this one opened fine. I also went back today and downloaded just easter 6 and it downloads from 4shared just fine--only the rapidshare link is not working. BTW, 4shared has really been working to get their site working properly over the past couple of years. I know that others had a big scare in Oct 2010, but i have not had a problem and they use good virus protection for the stuff you up- and download from them. There are still some questions about the ads if you don't pay to use their services, but that's the same for any free account you have--mediafire is notorious! Anyway, just wanted you to know that the template is available, downloadable and openable, and i am completely thankful for the additional lesson!
