December Daily® 2017 | Day 03

Welcome to December Daily® 2017 | Day 03.

Some days I have one page and some days I have more. Today I have more. My story today is about traditions and hands and the expansion of my family.

As a reminder, here is what I had in my album for Day 03:

And here's a look at what I ended up with for Day 03:

First page is the one I created for the December Daily® Product Play Workshop (this is a workshop that is still open - more details here).

I paired that heart cut out page with a 3x8 page protector to hold my story (back and front) and a full page photo of Audrey's hands with some Christmas Playmobil toys.

I added an Index Tab + a "hello weekend" stamp from Daily Words Stamp Set along the outside edge of the page protector.

Let's take a closer look at a few details:

I knew I wanted to work with a full page photo (I measure the size of the page protectors which is 6.75 inches x 8.25 inches) and add some words. I considered adding words to the photo itself as well as adding in a tag and ended up going with the 3x8 page protector because I loved the idea of adding in a punched heart at the top to maintain some transparency through to the photo (stapled into the page protector from the outside).

I loved the idea that I could place the punched vellum heart directly behind one of the hearts that I'd created for my foundation page. On top of the vellum heart I added two stickers back to back from the December Daily® Word/Phrase Sticker Bundle.

Here are the fronts and backs of the three pages outside the album:

One of the reasons why I continue to love doing some work on this album in advance of December is for days just like this. I love that the heart punched page was already done and all I had to do was pair it with a story.

Hope you are enjoying your December so far.
