    I hope you enjoyed the tutorial on "TIME SAVING CHRISTMAS CLUSTERS" in week 4 and now it's time for you to dive right in and create your own CHRISTMAS CLUSTER to use multiple times in a page for this challenge!

    Create a Christmas cluster with at least 5 elements. Use the cluster at least twice on your layout. Use your original cluster (we all want to see your base cluster!) and then for the additional duplicate clusters, you may manipulate them if you wish (but only if you want to, it's not required for the challenge) i.e. resize elements, move them around in your cluster, turn off some layers, recolor, rotate the position, etc.

    Read the tutorial, there are additional articles on the blog about clustering, and if you have any questions, please ask here in this thread, tag me and I'll be happy to help in any way. Also, there is sure to be a TLP member around to help out if needed.

    Here are my sample pages from the tutorial to give you an idea of how you can use a cluster base over and over again.

    Thank you Rae for your tutorial of how you put together clusters.
    As I mention in the gallery, recently I have been sorting through older photos and thought I would use one for this challenge.

    What a great challenge! Thanks again for the awesome tutorial. I'll be referring back to it frequently! I used the same cluster twice. The original is on the left. The copy is on the right and I removed some sequins and made it smaller.

    Here's my page :) Thanks for the great tutorial!

    My "base" cluster is the one on the bottom right of the page. For the duplicated cluster, I kept the same flowers and leaves, just sized them down. I also rotated the cluster. I swapped out the embellishments and used a red ribbon instead of twine.

    This was a good exercise - once I had to USE my cluster, I wanted to tweak it more. Not entirely sure this was a time saver! LOL! But, I do like it!
