The Vintage Train Cars (Gabe went straight to the vintage train cars when he walked in Saturday, for our family Christmas day, and enjoyed them the whole time. He is 17 months old, and knew the two cars "should" fit together, but they aren't a matched set. He wasn't happy about that, and kept trying to hook them together, unsuccessfully.)

Process:

The template psd file was opened and saved to a new file name. AP-CT sp2 was placed beneath all the frames and masks. Brushed Edge Overlay was added, with a color fill to blend with the background paper yet accent the edges. My photos were clipped to the frame masks and fotomasks. Some frames/masks were turned off. ArtsyTransfer ChristmasTree was clipped to center frame mask, then the photo was extracted and given a custom shadow. Another AT was clipped to the side mask, and then placed beneath that mask and enlarged a bit. The template lace and shadow were relocated. The WA added with hue/sat adjustment on the red label, and the notions/elements and UT completed the layout.
