***Remember to save often***
I've had this temp for a pretty long time. So not sure if it's still available or not.
Open temp and Control D to duplicate the image
Change the canvas size to 900 x 900, I like to have a lot of extra room and will re-size later
Now we are going to be deleting a lot from the temp.
Let's delete the following layer: Text background; Text; Snowflakes & Copyright
Activate Rectangle Frame Red
Change Foreground to #b60708 and Background to #e6e6e6
Create Gradient using the following number
Insert a new layer and flood fill it with gradient you just created
Now delete the Rectangle Frame Red layer
Delete BG Text. There are a couple of ways to create text fills, however my plugins don't work so I made it the old fashion way.
Replace the Naughty n Nice word fill with the Pepper Winter one below
Right click and save this image
Merge layer down so it gets the soft light look
***Remember to save often***
Open paper 6
Activate Right Frame layer, copy and paste Paper 6, invert and delete
Delete Original Right frame layer and merge the new layer to the old layer
Now repeat with Left Frame layer
Open tube of choice.
Copy and paste as a new layer
I re-sized by 75% to get the girl a little smaller.
Activate Right Frame
Copy and paste tube; invert and delete
Change blend mode to screen
Repeat with Left frame, you will have to flip the tube
***Remember to save often***
Now time to add elements of choice
Open element 40
Activate Raster Layer 1 (the one below the pixel text)
Copy and paste as a new layer, invert and delete
Open Element 13, re-size by 50%
Copy and paste as a new layer, use my tag for placement
Open element 15, re-size by 25%
Copy and paste as a new layer, use my tag for placement
Open element 31, re-size by 50%
Copy and paste as a new layer, use my tag for placement
***Remember to save often***
Crop the image around tag. Make sure it's not longer than 650 on the longest side
Now add your copyright
Add anything else you would like
Save image as a png file.

*************************************************
When four of Santa's elves got sick, the trainee elves did not produce toys as fast as the regular ones, and Santa began to feel the Pre-Christmas pressure.
Then Mrs. Claus told Santa her Mother was coming to visit, which stressed Santa even more.
When he went to harness the reindeer, he found that three of them were about to give birth and two others had jumped the fence and were out, Heaven knows where.
Then when he began to load the sleigh, one of the floorboards cracked, the toy bag fell to the ground and all the toys were scattered.
Frustrated, Santa went in the house for a cup of apple cider and a shot of rum. When he went to the cupboard, he discovered the elves had drunk all the cider and hidden the liquor.. In his frustration, he accidentally dropped the cider jug, and it broke into hundreds of little glass pieces all over the kitchen floor. He went to get the broom and found the mice had eaten all the straw off the end of the broom.
Just then the doorbell rang, and an irritated Santa marched to the door, yanked it open, and there stood a little angel with a great big Christmas tree.
The angel said very cheerfully, 'Merry Christmas, Santa. Isn't this a lovely day? I have a beautiful tree for you. Where would you like me to stick it?'
And so began the tradition of the little angel on top of the Christmas tree.
Not a lot of people know this.
