Christmas Facebook Timeline Tut

 Please Note-

This tutorial was written for those with a working knowledge of paint.net.  PSP users may be able to adapt it to your program. 

You Will Need-

  • paint.net (or other photo editing software)
  • FTU scrap kit Christmas in July from Oopsie ScrapsaDaisy found HERE

Let's Begin-

Open a new image 851 x 315
Copy and paste a background paper into a new layer (I chose paper 2)
Copy and paste chosen elements.  I used:
     -snow     -tree 2
Then, on a separate canvas, open the frame
Add you photos in separate layers below the frame
Resize and crop the photos as necessary
Apply drop shadow to the frame, then merge the frame with the photo layers
Resize to 20%
Copy and paste into the facebook cover canvas
Use rotate/zoom tool as desired (I resized again and rotated -6)
In a new layer, add your greeting or signature in the font of your choice (I used Alex Brush)
Add noise, then outline
Add drop shadow to all elements and text
Add your name and credits for the scraps
Save and enjoy!
