or you may use your own scraps.

***Note***You will find that when you download and open 'Scraps'
from Scrapbooking sites that the contents are very LARGE.
What I have found to work best with PSP is to resize
them to the size of your working image...
This seems to work with things like mask-type images and papers, or backgrounds.
With elements, I usually resize them to 20% or less.
This may not apply to them all,
so check first to see if the file contents are too large..
to suit your particular needs.
Ok, Let's get started...
