ReplyDeleteI'm afraid I have no idea!
ReplyDeleteThis is very cool Lorine! Do you have instructions or a template that you'd be willing to share??
ReplyDeleteThis is such a cool Christmas tree Lorine! How did you do it? Do you have instructions? Thank you and Happy Holidays!
ReplyDeleteHi Penny
ReplyDeleteI don't have a template. I just used WORD and typed in my surnames until I had the shape tree I wanted. Then I highlighted each surname and made the text whatever colour suited me
Then I did a screenshot of the image and imported it into my graphic program (Pixelmator)
For the star on top and the presents on the bottom I found public domain images and inserted them into the image in Pixelmator to create my final version tree graphic.
Lorine, your tree is nice and full. May you find may wonderful facts to hang on your tree in 2017! Merry Christmas!
