Winter Wonder

Morning exercise with PhotoShop Layers.  All of my Christmas card orders are completed and mailed out, this is my favorite time, when all the hard work of the last 3-4mos. is done and I am left to my own meanderings and creatings.  I am now working on my projects and researching and learning.  I think this is the last of my basic layerings.  I will now begin adding a little as I go.  Many, many years ago when I took my first PhotoShop course, my professor stated that if we worked in a different area every day for the rest of our lives with PhotoShop, we would still not know all of its wonders.  It is now, that I fully understand and agree with these words.

Dawn Inskip in collaboration with MLE Card has released a new kit "Christmas Memories", what a great kit this is, some really fun elements by two very talented designers.  The background on this card is from Emka's  "Secret Place" pattern papers at Scrapbook Graphics. I took Dawn's snowman and laid it in along with the word banner "Winter Wonderland".  I then took Emily's trees from the same kit to my Cameo mat and created 2 different sizes and cut them out.  Then I set my drop shadows in the Copic markers.  The photo corners are from EKSuccess, the corner punch was a gift from my friend Carole, PaperArts, and little did she know that she would have to look at these corners forever more on my cards, they are truly my favs.

Well, carry on, hope you are finding the very best in your week, hugs
