Do you use graphics software for holiday planning or gift giving? Here's a way to show off the holiday projects you've made!

Looking for some snow or snowflake effects to add to your graphics projects this year? I've got it covered!
If you're looking for a unique, personalized holiday project idea utilizing your family photos, my Photoshop Snowglobe Tutorial has been a hit for several years now. Use it on a greeting card or give it as a framed gift. You'll need Photoshop 6.0 or higher to follow the tutorial, but you may be able to adapt the steps for other software, and there is a layered PSD file which you can open in Photoshop Elements or other software to customize.
Whether you go with the snow globe theme or not, if you're making your own greeting cards this year, you can get a head start with my free greeting card template and instructions for Photoshop.
