Process
A solid paper from APP Yule was used as the base of the page. It was duplicated (a level adjustment was made to brighten up the white) and the blending mode was changed to soft light with a slightly decreased opacity. The photo was clipped to a fotoblendz mask. The photo was duplicated with the blending mode changed to hard light. Then the blending mode of the mask was changed to color burn. These layers were merged together. The merged photo was duplicated again with the blending mode changed to color burn. A warm glow was added to brighten up the image. The blending mode of the photo of the pine trees was changed to darken to eliminate the white edges of the photo and to allow some texture to show through. The tree photo was duplicated and these layers were merged together and then the blending mode was changed to color burn. The photo was duplicated one more time, flipped, resized and the opacity was reduced. Transfers from the kit were layered behind the car and over the pine trees. Artstrokes, word art, a MultiMedia Holiday Tree and embellishments were added to complete the page.

Thank you for looking!
This brings back childhood memories of when we would go into the forest to cut down our own tree. Not allowed to do that anymore... oh the good old days LOL. Beautiful page! Thanks for the memories!!
 
Wonderful! We stopped getting a real tree 6 years ago but this page makes me so jealous, what a fabulous page!
 
I love the tree embellishment that you have added to your incredible photo!
 
growing up in the desert in AZ there was no chance to get a real tree and my mom hated the needles so we always had a fake tree. gorgeous and love the multimedia tree! love the background!
 
Takes me back to my childhood when it was a grand family occasion to get the tree and carry it back home on the roof of the car. Love this page and the background is gorgeous!
 
Same here; lots of childhood memories from back in the '40s. I love the stick tree with the red cardinal. A warm touching page!!
