December Daily 2010 | Day Thirteen

Welcome to Day Thirteen!
A few simple photos from around my house today. I always like to include a page or two like this - it shows what's different in our home during this time of year.
Chris has been on a business trip this past week so I'm really excited to have him back home again. Hoping to get him and some of his perspectives into this album soon.
One thing I'm noticing - it's usually about this time that I've found my grove with my supplies. I find myself reaching for just a few patterns and a few accents. I like how that continues to keep the process simple.
I used my 6x8 digital layered template set to create the first page. I followed the same set of steps as I did in this tutorial post (printing photos on photo paper and the frame layer on cardstock).
As I was going around the house taking some photos I took one of myself in a mirror I finally hung last weekend.
Journaling goes around a line I drew with a silver metallic pen.

Yes, I need to do a few "around the house" pics as well. But I'll wait til the tree goes up - which will be next Monday.
My son and wife are coming in from AZ Sunday. Their arrival will kick off a whole new spirit of celebration around here. I will not be without subject matter for the remainder of the month! Yay!

It was so cold here I too took photos of inside the house. I used Camera Bag on my phone and I'll see how that works out. Of course it's for day 14 not 13! I knew what the main page would be because there's just one thing on my mind - my son and his short time back from 'over there'.

Oh, Ali! I had to LOL! When I looked at the first photo of your DD pages (the one showing the transparency), I thought there was some kind of angel behind it. Then you showed the page after it (the one with you taking a self-photo).
Am I hearing the strains of "Earth Angel" ??? ;-)

Hi Barb, I thought the exact same thing. I thought for sure it was an angel!

Ali, I am loving following your December daily posts. But I have a question about the picture of you in the mirror. How do you get the focus on just you and not all the other stuff in the background that reflects in the mirror, too? Is it the camera, lighting, editing, just luck that nothing else reflects? I'm a total beginner when it comes to doing something more with a picture than pointing the camera, clicking, printing it out and sticking it to a page. :)

I love your use of overlays. I am missing doing them this year since I am going mostly digi...maybe in the end I'll figure out a way to incorporate some overlay on my "ephemera" pages. :)
