About Me
- Cntrycagal's Chaos
- My name is Kara Ann but most of you know me as Cntrycagal from facebook, forums or the tagging community! I am a 42yr old SAHM to my almost 5 yr old son, Justice. We share our life with my best friend, lover and partner who has put up with me for the past 11 yrs. I do pride myself in being a copyright compliant designer and love to create tags, siggies and avatars. I would like to branch out & learn to make scrap kits so check back often as you never know what I'll post next!

"Great Outdoors"
This tutorial is my own and any resemblance to any other is purely coincidental.
Supplies for this tutorial:
PSP (any version; I use X2)
Scrap kit : "Great Outdoors" which is FTU kit from Designs by LK
Tube of choice. I'm using tube by Keith Garvey purchased while he was with MPT. You can now find his tubes at PSP Tubes Emporium. You must have a license to use this work; DO NOT use without a license.
Photo of your choice for frame
Let’s begin (save often)
1) Open a new canvas: 650 x 650 (you can crop/resize later)
2) Open frame stamp from kit and copy/paste as new layer.
3) Open your tube and position similiar to mine; resize if necessary.
4) Open picnic tablecloth from kit and copy/paste as new layer.
5) Open mustard and ketchup bottles from kits and copy/paste each as a new layer. Image/resize by 40% and arrange on table to your liking. Merge together.
6) Open covered grill from kit and copy/paste as a new layer. Image/resize by 70% and place at bottom left of frame; above picnic table layer.
7) Open burger from kit and copy/paste as new layer. Image/resize by 30% and arrange on table to your liking. Duplicate burger and resize the duplicate by 80% and place beside 1st burger.
8) Open hotdog from kit and copy/paste as new layer. Image/resize by 30% and rotate slightly. Place beside the two burgers.
9) Open soda from kit and copy/paste as new layer. Image/resize by 40%. Place next to burger & hotdog; merge all 4 layers together.
10) Open green wrap bow from kit and copy/paste as new layer. Image/resize by 90% and place toward top of frame. Erase any overhanging ribbon or adjust resize if neccessary.
11) Open watermelon from kit and copy/paste as new layer. Image/resize by 30% and place on picnic bench as shown.
12) Open ant from kit and copy/paste as new layer. Image/resize by 30%. Image/mirror and place on bench next to watermelon. Duplicate layer twice more for total of 3 ants...spacing them apart as if they are marching toward the watermelon. Merge these 3 ant layers.
13) Select frame layer and click inside frame with magic wand. Selections/modify/expand by 10. Copy/paste your desired image or photo as new layer. Selections/invert and then select the new image/photo layer and hit your delete key on your keyboard to erase the excess photo portion. Move this photo layer below the frame layer.
14) Add drop shadow to all layers you desire. I used 2/2/40/4 as mine.
15) Add your name in favorite font and color. I used Arial Rounded MT at 48 pixels with #145707 fill and black stroke.
16) Add appropriate copyright information and crop/resize tag to your liking.
