Inspiration – I may do a second book that will be different. If I take a photo, I will create a page based on that photo and sometimes I will add other older photos. I won't use the project templates and if I print it will be individual pages in page protectors' nut for now it is just an experiment.
Start – File>New 12X12 300
Paper – Placed Solid Paper 4 from APP Ambages above the background layer
Photo – I placed my photo on the page changed the Blend Mode to Darken which knocked out most of the background. Then I added a mask and masked away some more.
Element – Put a star on the tree, then placed another star on the bead string and copied it twice.
Transfer – Placed Transfer 2 under the photo and used Ctrl U to change the yellow to blue
Title – Used the bead word and typed the words Stately and Tree
Journaling – First a cute quote about Christmas tree and then journaling about my day.
Brushes – Placed some splatter to represent the rain
