Supplies
1 tube of choice - I used the wonderful artwork of Natacha Chohra which can be purchased from PSP Tube Stop. You must have a
license to use.
Font of choice - I used Christmas Card here
"Checking It Twice" is a tagger size scrap kit created by me (HorsePlay's Pasture Designs) and can be purchased at any of my stores here.
This tutorial assumes you have a working knowledge of PSP.
