This is one of the Christmases that my husband remembers. Poor guy, sick in bed and not allowed to come downstairs to join the festivities! I dont have any photos of his Christmas Day, thus the page is heavy on symbolism. Hes not even sure how old he is in this photo, but it will have to do.
The Process
Project Template Album_5 was selected for the page. All layers were turned off except for the large fotoblendz and frames. Artsy paper_1 from APP Merry Tree was used for the background. Artsy paper_2 was clipped to the fotoblendz mask and moved around until the texture blended in with the background. Artsy paper_4 was clipped to #2 frame mask. The other photos were clipped to frame masks, also. The railroad crossing sign was layered on with embellishments added to give it a festive look. The stitchez (inverted, blending mode changed to soft light and duplicated) were layered behind the crossing sign.
Thank you for looking!
