Welcome to Crazed Creations by Crystal Tutorials!
I have been hunting down all of my tutorials for a few years now,
and finally I was able to locate them just the other day.
Some things to know about these tutorials... 
Most of them are missing links to supplies, whether it is 
because an artist or designer has retired, tagger's blog has 
been deleted etc. In this case, please treat the tutorial
as inspiration. As I update each tutorial, I will slowly re-release them.
ALL Tutorials before 2024 are AI FREE, meaning no AI was used.
and all newer tutorials will be labelled accordingly.

Any and all Tutorials posted within this site
are of my own creation.
Any similarities to any other is purely coincidental.
 DO NOT CLAIM AS YOUR OWN!
You are allowed to use them as challenges within your forum 
by linking back to this site.
I hope you enjoy the tutorials that I have created.
Please feel free to leave comments and or suggestions!!!

the more common ones are below:
C&P~Copy and Paste
RS~Re-size
DS~Drop Shadow
