Credits
Tube I used in this tutorial was tubed by Angelic Designz
I searched but could not find a site, blog or group where she shares her tubes.

I am assuming you know the basics of Paint Shop Pro and where the tools can be located.
Here are some arrows and bars you can drag and drop where you need to mark or underline where you are. .
Just left click and drag to where you want it then let go.
They will stay where you put them until you close your browser.
           



Preparation
Open your tube, duplicate (Shift-D) and close original.
1.  Open a new transparent canvas 300X300.
2. Activate your tube, copy (control-C) and paste as new layer (control-L) and, using
your raster deform tool, pull on the bounding boxes to stretch till it fills the screen

Pattern is ready.
7. Open new canvas of 1024x300. (I usually make mine 1280 wide). Fill with your pattern
(In your color palette, pick pattern, click on the color window and in the next window, right at the top, you'll see your pattern)
8. Back to your tube. Copy and paste your tube as new layer, move to the left.
I found at this point, since I had done this on my laptop and the color isn't that great on it,
once I brought it to my PC I thought the color was too dull, so I picked a nice light color from my tube
and added a new layer with this color and reduced the opacity to 50. Make sure this layer is under your tube layer.

9. New raster layer to place watermark.
10. Your stationery strip is ready!!  Watermark and save

Webpage Design Information
This webpage background was made in PhotoImpact with a tutorial by Deb DeHaven
 Sadly, she passed away but her tutorials just came back online, thanks to PIRCNet.
You can find the tutorial here.
 The font I used for all of the text on the buttons is BrockScript
The font I used for the "Back Ka" tutorial header is Harrington.
Click on the font name to download the font.
I use PhotoImpact to make all of my headers due to the amazing
3D text it has and the wonderful presets available free online
 Most of the presets I use are either the ones that come with PhotoImpact, usually the Gel ones,
or from Deb's PI Tutorials and More (see below) or Carol Oyl's site
 This is the address to Deb's old pages
 http://www.fortunecity.com/skyscraper/millenit/1716/pitutorials/objects/presets/presets1.html
 I can't find any links to her new pages but the presets are still on this page for download.
 For more sites to find PI Presets, take a look at my Great Beginnings page.
