It's Time to Deck The Halls!!

[Rene Bross]

Itching to do a little Christmas decorating??!! Now's your chance, just download your Christmas Tree (http://www.digitalscrapbookplace.com/freebies/CIJ_2008/ChristmasTree.png) and start decorating it! Use any papers, elements, word art- anything you like. Get creative!

After you're done decorating, post it to the Deck the Halls Gallery (http://www.digitalscrapbookplace.com/gallery/showgallery.php?cat=6187) and we'll vote on our favorites.

The trees with the top three votes will get this wonderful Christmas Plopper Pair by Elizabeth Weaver:

Deadline for this is Friday, July 25th at midnight EST. And we'll vote on the 26th!

Happy Decorating!!

*drags jingle bells in embarassment*:o

I'm ashamed to say the Tree is smarter than I....

When I click on your "Christmas Tree" link, Rene, it opens a wonderful green tree in a new ie window for me. But then what? There isn't a "download here for dummies" link anywhere...so how do I get it??? :o:confused::doh:

[scamptx]

If you right click on it, you can do a "save as" to your computer. It opens in my PSE as a png file.

Great tree, Rene! A real challenge, I think!!

[sammdc]

oh my that plopper is gorgeous

[Betsyfru]

Do we have to credit designers for every item we use to decorate the tree?

[idtwinmom]

Here's a tree I figure is fit for CIJ. Had a lot of fun!

Here's one I did using the tree a little differently, I know it's not really "decorated", but I wanted to share what I did with it. :snowman1:
