Also trying to get to grips with it in Paintshoppro which I am finding quite a challenge but enjoyable, think it will be quite a while before I come up with something constructive with that, still trying to make my papers and elements Eileen

I would like to try making my own brushes and masks for the papers but can't seem to find any tutorials for making these so I'm just playing around and trying my best to create something nice.

I will have to see what images I can find and then try making them myself as you suggested. I do have a tutorial for making a button but haven't tried it yet so might give that a go next, it looks easy enough to do but knowing me probably isn't Eileen
