Process: I started with an artsy paper from ArtPlay Palette Merry Tree. I added a lace texture, paints and stains from Artsy Layered Template No 171. I recolored some of these. I placed two overlays from ArtPlay Palette Merry Tree, one to the left side and the other to the right. Then I placed the photo and extracted it with a mix of the gradient tool and some brushes. I placed a christmas tree from MultiMedia Christmas Trees No 3 and an edge overlay from Evergreen Overlays No 1. I added some brushes and embellishments from ArtPlay Palette Merry Tree. I finished the layout with the elf from ArtPlay Palette Santa's Elf and the wordART from Christmas WordART No 10.
