Just click on the cluster frame for the pop up and right click and "Save As" to your computer.

Now for the cluster frame:

"Petal Puffs" Snags

 I was playing in PSP early this morning and decided to make up a few snags for you.

These are made using AI tubes created by SassySoul Dezinez. She has some amazing tubes!

You may add your name to these snags and use them in forums!

I hope you enjoy them.

Click on them then right click and 'Save As' to your computer for full size.

Please do not "direct link" or "hot link"

Thank you!

Coming Soon!

 

I just wanted to drop a quick post and let you know that I'll be having a PSP Tagging blog coming soon!

Tag tutorials, cluster frames and forum snags, as well as any blog trains I jump in on at Escape From Reality. I also do AI tubes but those are exclusive to the EFR forum and wont be made available here on the blog.

Check back often.

At some point I'll be playing with the layout and creating something... not sure when or what it will be, but please be patient with me. It's been years since I worked with Blogger on a personal level. If I have issues I may move to WordPress. We'll see what happens!

I hope you have a great day and thank you for stopping by!
