December Daily : Day Ten

Playing a little bit of catch up today. Here's December 10.

Part One : Trader Joe's has some fun designs on their paper bags right now. So if
you forget your cloth bags (that would be me yesterday) these bags are
just right for cutting up and adding to your December Daily.

Part Two: photos + words.

The trickiest part of this one was cutting around the rounded edges of the Art Warehouse Mistletoe Dot Die Cut Paper. I used Fiskars Finger Tip Craft Knife to go around the corners. I have found that tool to be really useful in terms of giving me more control when working with a variety of different edges.

The photos were gathered together in Photoshop and printed as one piece and adhered to the back of the scalloped paper.

For the journaling I created a simple text block the same size as the photo gathering and printed on cardstock.

And around here...we are hoping for snow this weekend. A big cold front is supposedly moving in with all the right mixture of stuff to create snow here on the valley floor.
