Must having some working knowledge of the program.
Dear Diary PTU tagger kit by Clarey's Designz, purchase HERE.

Template by me, download HERE.
FONTS
Chocolate Dulce
***********************
with everything ready to go, open the template.
delete my copyright layer.
add a new raster layer above the Squares template layer and select all/float/defloat.
open paper5 from the kit and copy.
paste into selection on the new raster layer and select none.
hide the Squares template layer.
repeat the steps with the following layers and paper:
Squares Border and paper2
Hearts and paper2
Circle and paper8
Text 2 and paper2
Text 1 and paper5
now open your tube and resize accordingly.
paste it as a new layer above the circle/paper8 layer.
position it to your liking.
now duplicate the circle/paper8 layer.
on the duplicate layer, select all/float/defloat/invert selection.
hit delete on the tube layer.
select none and delete the duplicate circle/paper8 layer.
now open the roundframe2 element and copy.
paste at 100% above the tube layer.
now that all the basics are done, add any elements, text and tubes.
don't forget to add artist credit and license info.
when you're all done, copy special > copy merged.
paste as a new image and use your magic wand tool to select outside the tag.
invert selection and crop to selection.
that will get rid of any extra space that you don't need.
thanks for trying my tutorial! =)
