December Daily® 2015 | Day Nine

Welcome to  December Daily® 2015 | Day 09. 

Today was super fun to put together. I've been excited about playing with circles in some way or another in this album ever since I received the  Main Kit with the wood veneer circles. And I love see-through pages. And yes, I did change this up even after I filmed the video. I ended up taking off the "E" and embossing the little white trees on top which keeps it consistent with the other large red chipboard numbers I've added on previous days.  

Step-by-step video included below. You can also subscribe to my YouTube channel if you'd rather watch videos over there. 

Don't forget to download my gift to you today  over on Pinterest as part of my 12 Days Of Giving

Here's my Day 09 from my  foundation pages post

Originally Day 09 was in a 4-pocket, 3x4 page protector. Day 08 ended up being one page so I was able to remove that page protector before starting Day 09. 

Here's what I ended up with for Day 09: 

Day 09 includes a  transparent plastic page (content on both the front + the back) and a full page 6x8 photo. 

The photos in my album today were editing using  RadLab which I use within Photoshop. The filter I used today (and a couple of other days in this album) is called Bullet Tooth. 

The story, obviously, is quick and simple to fit into the 3-inch circle. 

The transparent insert page is a thicker plastic piece that holds up well as a page on it's own. I originally bought these from Studio Calico in 12x12 sheets - this one was cut down to the same size as the page protectors - but you can also get them via Amazon here

On the front of the page I included four things: 

  1. The large wood veneer circle from the Main Kit + a circle-punched piece of the white star transparency + a large letter red E (for my last name) that has been trimmed around the edges and that's embossed with small white stars + a green "jingle all the way" sticker. 
  2. The number 9 card from the Main Kit punched with a 3-Inch circle punch + a "merry everything" circle from the Seven Paper Felix Plastic Shapes (stapled on top). 
  3. A photo of Anna and the tree punched with the 3-Inch circle punch
  4. Two 1-5 inch punched circles from the star transparency.

On the back of the  transparent page I repeated the same circles - simply adhering these other circles directly on top of the other circles (simply on the other side). One photo of me, one star pattern paper (Main Kit) and one circle punched from December Daily® Jasmine Jones Mini Kit (lines with home for the story). 

I cut the "twinkle" white rubber banner to have the same edges as the circle. Little circles on top of the white tree are from the  December Daily® Jasmine Jones Mini Kit.

On the bottom of the enlarged photo I added a red label sticker that I had stamped on using stamps from the  Storytelling With December Daily® workshop stamp set.

    How do you get your Christmas tree pictures to look so bright? Is it only that filter that you used? Mine always either look washed out or too dark. I love your DD by the way. I get a lot of ideas from your album and use quite a few of them in my own. Thanks for sharing your gift.

      Morning! It's RadLab (and maybe a little bit my camera that can do a really high ISO) - I'll do a quick video tutorial so you can see what happens.

      Hi! If you look up at the top of the page there is a headline link to December Daily® 2015 products. http://aliedwards.com/shop/december-daily (that section includes physical and digital products - some of the stamps are sold out and will not be restocked).

    My favorite page in your Dec daily so far (If I had to choose 1 - and it's only day 9!!). I actually thought you overlaid Ana's circle pix within Simon's photo and thought that was cool, and Now luv it more that it's a transparency. U have so many great ideas!! Happy Holidays!

    Love this page Ali. I love when you do 6X8 pages!!! Personally, not a big fan of the pocket page styles.

    I can't tell you how excited I am about this idea. Seriously, it has my heart pounding in excitement to try it myself. I hope that doesn't make me sound too weird, haha!

    I am so impressed with how you make circles look so great. There's always a chance of circles taking my pages to the early 2000s. :) You placed them in a way that looks amazing. I'm inspired!

    I love the way you used a couple of photos as your circles, which made them part of the design. An awesome design still focused on the photos that tell the story- beautiful!

    Your DDs are so inspiring, Ali! Love circles! I still bust out my Creative Memories' shape cutting system - might be old school, but still fun. I finally bought RadLab during the Black Friday sale this year and it's been one of the best purchases ever!
