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!!!
Some tips...
I use abbreviations in my tutorials, 
the more common ones are below:
C&P~Copy and Paste
RS~Re-size
DS~Drop Shadow
MW~Magic Wand

Trip to Grandmas



This tutorial was written on November 11, 2025.
Supplies:
Tube of Choice
I am using Cutie by Nocturne
This tube was available through PFD 
Kit by Wicked Princess Scraps HERE 
Word Art of Choice
Drop Shadow:
0 - 0 - 65 - 10
Canvas:
851x315
Step by Step:
*Selections ~ Select All
*Open Paper 1 and C&P into selection
*Open Element 14…C&P as a new layer
RS by 75% then place to the left of the canvas
*Open Element 16…C&P as a new layer
RS by 75% twice and place to the right side of the canvas
*Open Element 17…C&P as a new layer
RS by 50% and then again by 75% then place to the right just behind the building
*Open Element 11…C&P as a new layer
RS by 55% three times and then place at the corner of the building
*Open Element 10…C&P as a new layer
RS by 55% three times then place to the Right of the cart just behind the well
*Open Element 9…C&P as a new layer
RS by 55% and now I am going to slide this element to the bottom of the canvas…
Adjust the layer so it looks like a pile of leaves
*Now if you want to add a tube you can, 
I added a dog tube by Nocturne but you can choose whichever tube you want
*Selections ~ Select All
*Images ~ Crop to Selection
*Click on the top layer of your design...
Layers ~ New Raster Layer ~ Enter... Selections ~Select All
*Open Paper 11... Images ~ Rotate Right...
C&P into Selection... Selections ~ Modify ~ Contract by 5 ~ Delete
 *At this point when nearing what I think is the end of the design
I add my drop shadow...which I have posted above... 
but feel free to use a different shadow configuration
Add your shadow to each layer except the bottom layer
*I have chosen a quote to use by Oprah Winfrey
and have made it into a tag line/word art.
*Add your Copyright info and enjoy you new timeline cover
