In PSP Open up the following elements from the scrap kit;
1. From the scrap kit open up the Mask-GI then reduce the size to 80% by going to "Image" , "Resize" "80%" all layers CHECKED.
2. "Edit - copy", then "edit - paste as a new layer" on to your main canvas the Frame3-GI then reducethe size to 60% by going to "Image" , "Resize" "60%" all layers UNCHECKED.
3. Take your magic wand tool and click inside the frame until you have marching ants The best settings I found to do this with are as follows; (see print screen below) Mode: Add(shift), Match mode: RGB Value, Tolerance: 102, Contiguous checked, Feather: 0, Anti-alias checked, Inside
4. Go up to "Selections", then "Modify" and choose "expand" and 5 pixels
5. Choose Paper4-GI (or any paper of your choice) and "Selections", "Select All" then "Edit", "Copy" go back to you main canvas and "edit" , "paste as a new layer" then up to "Selections", "invert" then hit your "delete key" on your keyboard. Move this layer below your frame layer. "Selections", "Select None". On your layer palette right click on your Paper4-GI layer and "merge down" merging your frame and paper layer together.
6. "Edit - copy", then "edit - paste as a new layer" on to your main canvas the Frame3-GI again and reducethe size to 60% by going to "Image" , "Resize" "60%" all layers UNCHECKED. Go up to "Image - Free Rotate" and use the settings I've shown in my print screen below (free rotate settings shown in print screen below)

Move this layer below your frame layer. (see my print screen below for what I have now)
8. You should still have the inside of your frame selected (should still have marching ants around it). On your layer palette click on your paper layer you just added to make it active then "Edit - copy", then "edit - paste as a new layer" on to your main canvas your tube. Move the part of the tube you want showing into the left hand side of your frame. (I chose to just show her face). Go back to your tube again and click on it to make it active and go up to "image - mirror" then "Edit - copy", then "edit - paste as a new layer" on to your main canvas the tube again and move it into your frame and move it over to the right.

"Edit - copy", then "edit - paste as a new layer" on to your main canvas the Doodle-GI and reducethe size to 65% by going to "Image" , "Resize" "65%" all layers UNCHECKED and move it to where you'd like. I moved mine into the main frame near the bottom. On your layer palette right click and "duplicate" then up to "image - mirror" then "image - flip" and move it towards to the top of your main frame. On your layer palette right click on the top Doodle layer and "merge down" merging your 2 doodle layers together.
