December Daily 2009 : Day Two (+ Photo Overlay Video Tutorial)

Thank you so much for the tutorial. I have just started to learn how to do this and was on Designer Digitals looking for your overlays for a general holiday. I popped over to your blog and delightfully saw your post. It was so easy to watch and made perfect sense even though I am on a PC. Thank you so so much for this. I can't wait to try it out now.
Thank you, thank you!

Thanks for the encouragement. I didn't totally love my page 1 and I'm not sure what to do for page 2. I am inspired to keep going though!

so glad day 2 is a "pockets" day. i got a bunch of really cute snaps yesterday when we got the polar express and christmas thomas train sets out and was wondering how i was going to just choose 1 or 2-now i won't have to!

I really like the photo of the Christmas boxes on the back of day 2. A nice way to document the details and something I would normally overlook! But my Christmas box is what I see more often than the decorations (since it is in my laundry closet and I see it every time I do laundry, which is way more than 31 days/year!)

Thanks, Ali, for the tutorials. I can always use a refresher course.

I've had that problem before if I don't unzip the file first.

I'm glad you said what you did about not liking the individual pages b/c I'm worried about today. Nothing exciting....just a normal day...taught music class, did laundry and dishes, and about to pick up my son from school. I'm finding it doesn't matter that today wasn't "spectacular" I can celebrate what's the same about today, just as much as I can celebrate what's "different and special" about another day.

Ali-
Great tutorial - I bought the 25 day overlays from dd - am i correct in seeing that they can a brush too? i used the december 2nd as a brush and didn't realize they could be adjusted in size by doing the overlay after seeing your tutorial! sooo cool!

Yes - absolutely (the brush file is included).

Yes :).

Hi Ali...I would like to ask you a question if I could. I purchased the circle number set. I downloaded it and then unzipped the file so I have all these individual numbers. Can I make them smaller, or can I print more than one number on a page. I'm sure I have done something wrong. I would appreciate your help.
Thank you,
Karen~

Thanks for doing this again this year-So inspired by your work. Loving YT class as well!
GO BEAVERS!!!! Good luck living in Duck land.

You can definitely make them smaller (either by changing the image size or by clicking on a corner with the move tool and dragging to resize - like I show how to resize the overlay on the video tutorial today). You can also print more than one on a page. What I would do is create a new canvas (File/New) that is 8x10 (or so). Open each of the numbers and, using the move tool, drag and drop them onto the new canvas.

This is all so amazing. I love looking at your projects; they are incredibly inspiring. I have so much on my plate this month so I doubt I will get around to something like this, but if not I definitely plan on doing a December Daily album next year.

I took the exact same picture of my Christmas tubs...and the title of my page is 'Bring on the twinkle!' great minds think alike!

Have only completed two days but am so in love with this project!! Thanks for all your great inspiration! I enjoyed your video tutorial, it was much appreciated.

Ali, can you please do a tutorial on how to make the gift tags in photoshop?

Hi Ali,
Thanks for taking the time to show how to do this! I find it is so much easier seeing it than trying to work it out on your own. I will test this out on the weekend! Thanks again :)

Please check your website . . . each time in the past two days that I've "signed on", "checked in" I've gotten a high level VIRUS warning.
I can't jeopardize visitng any more if I receive this one more time. Sad.

Love what you have done with day 2, Ali... great WREATHS! Thanks so much for the gift tags, too! Love them, downloading them, and can't wait to use them!
