Since i started making this tag Ive been humming the song by Doris Day called Teachers pet I remember watching the movie with my Mum when i was small (yes i know im no longer small ...ahem) and now I can't get the song out of my head lmao

This tutorial is written assuming you have a basic to intermediate working knowledge of psp. It is not hard! So fingers crossed I will explain it simply enough for you.
