Musicale Memories

This tutorial is written in PSP 9 and tested in PSP 8, PSP 9 and PSP X by Rita, Jeanine and Yvonne. Thanks ladies for testing this tutorial and for the beautiful creations.

Supplies: you can find them here

What to do first:

Search for 5 pictures of your favorite artist/ band.
3 of this pictures we going to resize to very small.

If you want to change the color of the scrapkit, choose two colors you like.
If you choose a color you see this:

Hue, write down this number
Saturation, write down this number

With these numbers you can change the color of everything you want to use in your work

To change the colors go to:
Adjust - Hue and Saturation - colorize
For Hue take the first number you wrote down
For saturation you take the second number you wrote down.

I used this technique for my second image at the bottom of this page.
