Page Process-

Photo was clipped to frame psd of AP Brimming minus the frame layer and all layers were resized

Multiple brushes and transfers were layered up to add texture (blending modes applied and opacity tweaked)

WordART was added to convey the message of the awesome photo

Tape and stiching secure the photo to the page and a couple of buttons add visual interest.

The red ribbon was created by selecting the rectangular marquee tool and selecting one strip of the red from the red and white paperie in the AP Brimming kit. Switching to the move tool and moving the red strip onto the page. Resize the strip to make it skinny like ribbon and duplicating for the second piece of ribbon and then sliding them into place to krisskross as ribbon on a package. A bow from the elements from AP Brimming was added and a shadow was added to all three pieces. More WordART to the ribbon was created by recoloring and resizing hohoho from Holiday WordART mixlong directions, but simple process to create.

Thanks for looking at my ART page and that adorable santa face!!.............................donna
