December Daily 2010 | Day Twenty

Welcome to Day Twenty!
For any of you who have made it this far, nice work.
I know this is a challenging project even when you work to make it really simple. There are tons of people that finish at the end of the month or at other times during the year when the time is right. The key for this (and any other project) is making some time be the right time.
There are also many people who don't finish. I hope, if you are one of those people, that you feel absolutely NO GUILT and that whatever memories you were able to document will bring you or someone you know joy in the future. Sometimes it's just not the right time, circumstance, etc., for a project.
WHITE CIRCLE PAPER UPDATE : If you are still on the lookout for the white paper I used on the cover of my book this year, here's some available through Amazon: Mulberry Whimzy Paper- Beehive 25x37 Inch Sheet
To photograph our tree like this I followed these instructions from Autumn at Write.Click.Scrapbook. The Red Dots Rectangle Label is from Paper Source. The gold pen is from Faber-Castell's new craft line which will be debuting at the big Craft & Hobby Show in January.
Next to the tree is a photobooth strip that Chris came home with the other day. Love.
On the back of the photobooth strip is another sweet little tree that Simon drew.
And today I was the lucky recipient of a card from him.
The other part of the Red Dots Rectangle Label from page one is adhered in the bottom area. Just a bit of stitching added for good measure. I think the stitching could be one of my favorite things this year.
SUPPLIES : Ali Edwards 2010 6×8 December Daily overlays; Jenni Bowlin Christmas Printed Tickets; Hamby Red Vintage Plaid (looks like there’s no more red, but other colors are available); Jenni Bowlin Red Kindergarten Alphabet Rub Ons; Paper Source Red Dots Rectangle Label

I have purchased the December Daily layered pages-and I love them! However, on your tutorial of how to use them, you show how to resize the images by clicking up in the corner and dragging until you get the size you want-I can't the little arrow to come up to click and drag...how do you get that? Thank you!

On my PC I'm using Photoshop Elements to put together my pages and once you drag the picture onto the canvas it shoud just automatically show the arrows when you put your pointer on the edge.
It doesn't automatically show it after I drag it onto Ali's layered page...I am using Photoshop CS3 on a mac...does that make a difference? Thanks for trying anyways!

This is lovely : ) Try going for a walk in your neighborhood to catch the outside lights the same way--the color lights are gorgeous all thrown out of focus too!

I have been having a blast! I had a minor hiccup posting my pages but have them done and am so happy I have done this, I almost feel like its too short Ha. Thank you so much for this adventure so far. I can't wait to actually see the whole book finished and then one warm summer day as the kids are playing in the back yard remember how awesome each day in December was and dream of all the fun that is to come in the coming December :)

I love the photo of your tree. I took one like that of our tree a week ago, and I wasnt sure if i should use it as i already have two with our tree as part of the main focuss of that day, but you've made me think "whats wrong with 3?" lol. The use of the photo booth is awesome.

I look forward to seeing your post everyday! It is such an inspiration for me. I didn't make it through everyday yet, however I have take a few minutes at the end of each day to journal about the day so I don't forget. At least I have the stories from the season down.
Thank you again!

Hi Everyone - didn't know where else to post this but ... if you are looking for an alternative to the SC Kit Album that still fits the 6x8.5 inch page protectors, Kaiserkraft makes a white "embelishment" folder that is an A5 size and the American Crafts page protectors fit in it really well. It does have "Kaisercraft" on the binder spine, but I figure I can cover/decrate that somehow and it is white, so a good base colour for xmas. I'm in Australia so purchased mine in a local store yesterday (I got two, because my album is so bulky already!!), but just had a quick look at scrapbook.com and they sell them for $6.99. Just wanted to share this if anyone is interested. Regards, Susan
