Oh Snap!

This tutorial was created on August 28, 2013. It is of my own creation and any resemblance to any other tut is purely coincidental. This tutorial is for personal use only; using it for monetary gain is against my TOU.

SUPPLIES
Photoshop. I am using Photoshop CS4 but any version will do.
Tube of Choice. I am using an exclusive tube from PicsForDesign by Zebrush. You must obtain a valid licence to use these tubes.

Hey Ya'll!!

Many of you know me from Karra's Kreative Korner and from the forums and groups I'm a part of. If you do, you are familiar with my work. I am a scrapper but my first passion was tagging! I've always wanted to tut my tags but I use Photoshop and it's kind of hard to say how much I resized this or that so I just left it alone. 
A friend introduced me to Jing a while ago and I've never used it until now.
Prepare yourselves for Photoshop tutorials via video!!!
I am so excited and I hope you all enjoy these!
