I think this is the last Christmas theme of the year! The template is from CD, the font is Nomah, presents from a Corel picture tube, and my sequin picture tube. Do you think the sequins were too much? I was going to delete them, but I ran out of time and had to post it to my group with only seconds to spare.

Our pickleball Christmas luncheon. Double page layout. Templates by Chantahlia Designs.

I want to join your crew!

Playing around in Creative Fabrica. Yes, I did order 2 more years as I have come to like it. Never tried the ShapeCloud before, and did today this is the result.

Merry Christmas All! This is my husbands company's version of Christmas. We went out in the evening to photograph the tire tree and snowman. They had lights but the battery was dead. I had wanted to try some light painting but the ambient lights from the parking lot was very bright, but I did use my flashlights to fill in the shadows a bit. Then I darkened it a bit again because I liked it a bit darker instead and lighter. It's nice to see even a big tire company has the Christmas Spirit. The font is Klasted from Creative Fabrica. The moon is from the parking lot that night as well. I got the light flare from CF as well. I wonder if there is a way to make the Santa/Dinosaur arched without distorting it. Like we do with vectors on a path. I would have liked a little bit of an arch on them. I used a Layer Style, outer glow...which I've never used before but I've seen other do it and liked it. I had to use the lowest setting and a lowered opacity too otherwise it's crazy big.

No, perfect as is. I saw this template somewhere and wondered how to use it. You've done it justice.

@Susan Ewart this was so much fun - easier than Spark. Here are 2 more I just got through playing with (although they are not Christmas.

Wishing you all a wonderful Dec 25 & those who celebrate it a Joyous Christmas. Most of the alphas are freebies from Cassel.

You can never have too much of the two things: GLITTER and SEQUINS! Love the characters you chose.

Once a week a group of women to meet to play pickleball. After pickleball, we share a picnic lunch and play games. This day we played Jenga. One of our towers reached 28 layers and one reached 34! Template= Lab 13-04.

Yes, that's Chef Gideon with the girls and his assistant chef. LOL

No, not at all, Michele. This is a wonderful sendoff for Christmas! Love the idea of Santa's belt buckle! I think this is the first time I've see someone other than glamorous women in your Fab Divas layout. Is that a chef?

Now that's a reindeer! Love it!

@Mary Solaas You're right that one of my granddaughters is a zookeeper but it is here on the East Coast, in Lake Ariel, PA. It is called Claws N Paws Animal Park and is really more of a tourist attraction than a true zoo.

I know last night was the winter solstice and I have been working on this one today.

I have been rather busy and haven't been inside this tread for a while, so I'm not going to comment on every entree, but it was a joy to browse! For all of you have a very good Christmas time, in which ever way you celebrate this time of the year. Thanks for all the inspiration, comments, friendship and support and may this continue in 2024!!!

This is something I have made for my family and FB friends. I have used images from Pixabay and CF and compiled them into one composition. Wishing you all a very Merry Christmas for 2023.

Another layout. I saw something like this in the background on a TV show. I like that I can try to replicate something, even if it doesn't turn out the way I imagined. The cutout circle background gave me so much trouble, don't know why. I wanted to give it more depth but just couldn't add a bevel or any other 3D effect to it. The file seemed to be so slow to load and save, just glitchy I guess. It's created as a .png but had to also save as .jpg to use here. Have no idea what I'd use it for, but enjoyed doing it.

Used one the Corel freebies to showcase this gorgeous winter photo by Nadia Povalinska, a friend of Heather Cox Richarson, the history professor I read daily on Substack and no, I didn't use the Selective Color script.

I'm back on the Alphabet Soup (from a challenge or workshop in 2022!). I'm down to X.

The doors etc in the center are from a photo I took yesterday with my new camera, standing in the the foyer of my church. The other elements are some I have saved over the years probable from C F as that is where a lot of them are from.

I found this gorgeous solstice background on Creative Fabrica in a bundle of twelve. It was hard to pick just one. The girls are from pngtree, I think. To create the "window" I combined a rectangular vector with an ellipse vector, magic wand selected on the outside, switched to a layer with a duplicate of the background, and deleted. Then I modified the selection with Select Selection Borders for the outline around the window. Added a little inner bevel on the text (Avenida LET font) and a drop shadow with 100% opacity and no blur. The singers got a smaller inner bevel just to give them a little depth. I kind of liked having the same background design in two different sizes. Any suggestions?

Happy Christmas: )/first IMHO/.

Wow! this is cool. It is pretty convenient isnt it. I needed the Santa, sleigh and reindeer and popped on there and got dinos instead of deer. I have till Next Nov, then I think I need to stop the membership stuff (except the CAMPUS!) for a while, it's getting painful on my bank account. I'll be trying to fill up over the next year and that will be what I have. Unless I win the lottery that is.....without buying a ticket. 😆
