Okay, Let's begin!

11)   Open new image with a white background 700 x 700

22)   Paste frame P8 as a new layer. Use my tag for reference!

33)   Make a new layer, move it below the frame. With your selection tool make a rectangle that is the size of the frame, keep it selected.

44)   Take Paper P8, and paste into the selection, select none.

76)   Paste El9 Christmas tree as a new layer.

113) Paste El10 Lantern as a new layer, resize 40% and place in the lower right corner.

114) To make the bottom look uniform, I used my selection tool, (point to point) and selected the bottom edges of snow from the tree and mailbox elements.  Activate each of those layers and delete so you like the way it appears.

115) Make sure all is where you want it to be, delete your white background, merge visible. Resize 75%
