Welcome to December Daily® 2014 | Day Fourteen.
Yesterday I looked back through the pages I've done so far and decided I needed a photo of my tree at night. I took my DSLR camera downstairs and set it on a table behind the couch. My settings were ISO 1250, 1/8 second shutter speed, and 2.8 aperture (I think that was the aperture - either 2.8 or 4.0). I love this fake tree.
Also today - heads up that the new Story Theme is now up: Firsts. Check out the subscription options and more details here (options include Story Stamp™, Story Kit™, and Digital Story Kit™). The classroom content is now available for current subscribers.
Here's a look at Day Fourteen:
I considered just doing one page for today but ended up sticking with a spread. I moved the circle card from the right pocket to the left and took off the gold glitter star and added the circle tree chipboard instead. I'll use the star somewhere else in the album by adding more adhesive to the back.
As a second 3x4 card I hand-wrote "not too bad for a fake tree" and my story (written on the diagonal lines on the 4x6 card) includes a bit about how it twinkles either way.
On the tree photo page (sized 5.5 inches x 6.25 inches) I added letter stickers from the kit + a glitter tree and one of the red plastic stars.
Something to try on one of your pages is playing with concentric circles. Chipboard circle + star circle stamp + messy handwriting around the outside.
Here's a look at everything in the album:
Happy Monday!

Love the handwritten journaling. I always struggle with the balance between authentic, meaniningful journaling that looks good but also fits in the space alloted. Any tips on that?

If that handwriting around the circle is messy, then I write like a child! Beautiful spread as always!

Really great ideas. Your tree is beautiful. The journaling on the diagonal like that to go along with the card is ingenious and inspired. Wow. Beyond brilliant. Michelle t

Ali, you really captured the scene—I love how the tree reflects in both corner windows, making even more twinkling. I really like this spread today.

p.s. Looking at the photo again, it's like one of your see-through transparency layouts—in the right window, the tree reflection is superimposed over the house lights. Also, I count 6 triangles, but there's only ONE tree. Great job!

I hope there are some blogs doing the December Daily that you're able to visit, b/c I'm really enjoying coming to yours everyday and seeing what you're up to!
You're continual effort to keep it going until Christmas makes sure that I'll do it too, and I love doing it.
Thanks Ali

Last year, we also chose an artificial tree for December Daily—it doesn't shed, it's easy to assemble, and the twinkling lights create the same magic as a real one; the kids loved the nighttime photos. To add a unique touch, I came up with a simple gadget for automatically rotating the illuminated tree. Looking for professional help, I checked Davison reviews https://davison-inventions.pissedconsumer.com/review.html and chose a trusted development service. They helped create a prototype, and now our tree is the star of the holiday.
