I'm working diligently in my December Daily.
|
On the left is the inside cover which I covered with scrapbook paper and added an old tag I had. The right page is just a kind of intro. The title is cut from a James Avery catalog and I sewed a strip of scrapbook paper to the right edge. |
|
On the back of the previous page (left) I added a gift card holder that I bought this year especially for my journal. I also added a few strips of washi tape. On the right is my first day. I added a pocket at the bottom as my background paper wasn't long enough. I had spent the day decorating the house so added the "Deck the Halls" journaling card to the background. In the pocket is a tag I made from an old Adorn-it paper and watercolored. |
|
Day 2 I wrapped a few gifts and luckily the paper had gift boxes on it! I added a doily a tag with the number 2 and made the journaling spot from lined paper made into a gift box. On the right I wrote about a "mystery gift" memory from my childhood. |
|
For day 3 (left) I used an old Heidi Swapp journaling card. I embellished the page with a few stickers and a leftover red fabric poinsettia. I used a small label to document that two of my grandsons got their second vaccination that day. Day 4 (right) was my son-in-law's birthday. I added a Happy Birthday banner and presents. My oldest grandson also had his first golf tournament that day so I added his photo and a stamped label noting it. |
|
Day 5 (left) I baked some Christmas cookies. I added a photo in a die cut "Polaroid" frame and the recipe written on the back of a tag. The tag is tucked behind a small retro image of a little girl baking cookies. On the right is day 6. It was a quiet day and I mostly did errands which I listed on the journal card added to the page.

This is just an extra spread I decorated since I have several more pages in the journal than I will need. The left page is covered with a kraft-colored tissue paper. The "title" is cut out from a James Avery catalog and the Santa sticker is vintage. On the right page I typed up a 1980's memory of our Christmas tree falling down in the middle of the night. |
