I am assuming you know the basics of Paint Shop Pro and where the tools can be located.
This is an extremely easy tutorial and can be done by beginners.
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.
           




You can also drag this example with you
I would suggest saving the tag at the top of my tut and keeping it open while you work to refer to for placement or drag the one above.
Open your tubes, duplicate (Shift-D), and close the originals. Open your masks in PSP. Open the font(s) if you don't want to install it.

paste again and place that one over top pink rectangle and again cut off excess.

Drop shadow all elements:

2/2/50/5/black for pink shapes 1 & 2 and small bow 10,
Don't drop shadow the shoe shopping element

Webpage Design Information
 The lacy webpage background was made in PhotoImpact with a tutorial by Deb DeHaven
 Sadly, she passed away and her site is gone.
 The font I used for all of the text on the buttons is BrockScript
The font I used for the "I Like to Shop" tutorial header is Shifty Chica.
Fill for this header is Lacarolita's Scrapkit GirlyGirl, paper 9.
 Click on the font names to download the fonts.
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.
