Winter Magic PTU

Winter Magic
I used the wonderful artwork by Anna Marine which you must be licensed to use. You can purchase this tube from CDO which can now be found here 
I am using a awesome matching scrapkit called Winter Magic which is PTU by Gimptastic Scraps  and can also be found at CDO here 
Font of Choice 
Mask of Choice I used WSL336 which can be found here
The tut was written in Paint Shop Pro X4 but should work in others.
We will be making a forum set, tag & timeline set

Note When I resize I use these settings: (make sure that pixel dimensions is on percent and in advanced setting it is smart size lock aspect ratio is checked and resize all layers is unchecked) also please save often and for placement on the tag you can always refer to the example tag if that helps.
