Photography Challenge - July 2012

[Art for Scrapbooking]

Hi everyone. I thought we would stay in the spirit of Christmas this month as we are celebrating Christmas in July all month.
Here is this month's photo. - you can get larger size here.
[This is also one of the papers in my Daily download gift for July 2nd. If you grab/grabbed that you have it already]
The challenge is to use this as your inspiration. It is my personal photo and you can either use it in your layout/art journal page/ digital art OR use it as your inspiration and tell us all about it when you post. You could be inspired to take a photo of your own or be creative with the theme, color etc. Your page does not have to be christmas themed.
Most of all have fun.

Additional info:

(1) Your layout can only be used for this challenge.

Loved your photo, ty! and used it for the background for my layout. I did add an adjustment layer to change the colors slightly.

What a beautiful photo. Love all the glitzy decorations and white lights. Thanks for a wonderful inspiration photo. I used it as a wrapped present tied up with a bow.

Thanks so much for joining in. I am glad you liked my photo. I wish it was my tree lol. I took it when I was on holidays. I may have to get some inspiration from it this year but my tree is usually purple themed.
Great idea using it as wrap on the gift. I love the photo as you have just caught that moment as she peaks into the bag.
