Im going to attempt a Christmas photo album of the Christmases Past, a collection of photos and stories from me, my husband (who can only remember 2 Christmases as a child), my children and grandchildren. Its three generations of Christmases!

The Process
Page 1 from Project Template Album 1 was selected. I turned off all the layers, except for the picture frames and the large fotoblendz mask. I clipped the family photo to the mask, but even after working with the photos (old, damaged, and dark) the photo looked like a large black hole on the page. I remembered that Anna has a beautiful series of MultiMedia Trees and decided to go that way and keep the dark photos small. An artsy paper from APP Weihnachtsbaum was selected for the base of the page. All layers of the template were turned off, except for the frame layers and large fotoblendz mask. Artsy paper_2 from APP Christmas Tree was clipped to the fotoblendz mask and moved around to highlight the texture of the paper. Tree 1 from MM Christmas Trees 2 was layered over the mask. The photos were clipped to two of the frame masks and a transfer from APP Weihnachtsbaum was clipped to another frame mask. I began turning on the hidden layers, either coloring, resizing, moving or deleting them. Some embellishments and journaling were added to finish the page.
Thank you for looking!
