December Daily 2009 : Day 16
Tags:DAY SIXTEEN
Can anyone else believe how fast this holiday season is moving along? Simon and I were laying on his bed the other night, looking at his tree lights and talking about how there are only 8 more days until Santa comes...and only two more days of school. Man I remember how exciting that was as a kid. Nothing better.
The last couple of nights we have been reading some of the short stories from this book: Jan Brett's Christmas Treasury
Here's a look at Day 16:
The transparent clock (old Heidi Swapp product - not sure it is available anymore) page is one that I have done for the last three years. This is a good example of one of those products that I do stock-up on - when I have the desire to use it more than once and it is generic enough, I will buy a few to be able to use them in the future. I think this is the last one I have in my stash. I love the contrast of the curve with the rest of the straight edge pages. This year I took a shot of Simon's room and am using that for my story on Day 16.
On the back of the clock I included an image of the Playmobil Nativity Set
that is sitting on his bookshelf:
Here's a close-up look at the image which includes a couple digital products from Designer Digitals: AE Handdrawn Holiday, Katie's Word Strip Labels No.2 (coming soon), and Holiday Twill (coming this weekend to the shop).
On the image of Simon's room I added the word stack from my Handdrawn Holiday collection.
Look for some fun new giveaways to be posted tomorrow morning. Have a wonderful weekend!

This is totally my fave of yours so far! Just LOVE IT!!! I have once again, FAILED big time in getting a book together. I got the flu and Ava got strep and it has set us back by over a week. I am so mad at myself! I hope to put one big Christmas album together of all through the years of traditions though!
thanks for the inspiration Ali!

Looks so great. I just used one of these Heidi Swapp pages in my Dec daily as well. I love the idea of the next page being the same curved shape. Great photos, Ali.

What pen do you use to write on your photos? Are you still using a white Sharpie? Thanks Ali.
Happy Holidays!

Hi Ali - love and trying to replicate the word stack you used on day 16 but am finding it impossible to find on designer digitals. When I click on the link from your website it takes me to what appears to be a different set of words. The set you used is at the bottom and it makes it look like it's part of a set of 3. But when I downloaded the file it didn't contain the work stack and unfortunately was the same as one I had downloaded previously :o{ . Can you help me find the file with the word stack in it?! Thanks so much.

Hi Laura - it is part of the Handdrawn Holiday set. It is called "AEdwards_HolidayWordStack.png. Let me know if that is not included in your package (it should be :)).

My bad. I had opened up Holiday Hand-Drawn Brushes in error (several times if you can believe it). LOVE the new set. And thank you for getting back to me!
