Welcome to December Daily® 2017 | Day 9.
Today I'm telling a story about how Chris and Simon signed up to work at his Boy Scout Troop Tree Lot and how much I appreciate the time that Chris has put in to make Boy Scouts a reality for Simon. It's been such a great way for him to be part of a community outside of school and to learn cool stuff along the way.
I don't think I will ever get tired of full page photos.
Here's a look at what my Day 9 looked like when I started via my Foundation Pages:
I totally loved making that heart strip as one of my examples for working with hearts in the December Daily® Product Play Workshop. And I love that it was already done when I went to tell my story for today.
Here's what my spread ended up looking like in my album:
I went with a full page photo enlargement (adhered to the photo from Day 8) and added a cluster of embellishments on top including a wood veneer circle, a chipboard circle, a number circle, a cork starburst, and then a gold chipboard heart and a green sticker to tie it together with the strip of hearts on the second page.
I cut off a bit of the wood veneer circle with scissors and then layered the other embellishments on top using glue dots and foam adhesive squares. I separated the gold chipboard heart with the green word sticker away a little bit from the main cluster to set it apart and then link it with the other stickers I added to the gold chipboard hearts that were already a part of my heart strip.
I decided to do reverse type (white on black) and printed it on photo paper and added the "holly & jolly" chipboard piece from the Main Kit.
And here's a look at both pages outside the album:
This page makes me happy. This relationship makes me happy.

I am also a huge fan of big 6x8 photos and as I am currently working on my Day 10 I am once again gravitating towards using a 6x8 picture! That is such a wonderful experience for Simon and for you to see it and hear about it through his eyes. Here is my super, super simple 5 minute effort day 9 layout. Some of these simple days can be so good and help make it all manageable I think. http://www.petracorcoran.com/december-daily-2017-day-9/

I so enjoy your post every morning with my first cup of coffee. I especially love listening to your thought process as you think your way through just how you want the page to look. Thank you for you insight - I find it so helpful!
I also want to let you know how very much I love this project. I've been playing along since the beginning, and I find that even though December is such a busy time, this project allows me to slow down and make the time to play. Thanks!

Yeah - totally didn't notice that. Oh well! It will be fine.
That was the first thing I thought too when I watched this!!
I looked at the other side and you can't even see it.

this year i'm using a 4x6 album (last year was a 6x8)... at first i thought it would not work, but i am really enjoying using this size. i am thinking next year though i'm going to use a 6x8 just so i can try out a full page 6x8 photo since i've never done it before.

I usually use a permanent tape runner when I work. It seems by the ease you move your pieces around that you must be using re-postionable tape. Is that true and is it normally your choice?

I feel so moved by the words you've have written to your son about his relationship with his dad. So beautiful and thank you for sharing something so personal- and I can imagine at times challenging.

the Boy Scouts were so good for my own sons. They did so much new and exciting that they probably never would have experienced (especially as a kid) because of scouting. They earned their Eagle and moved right in to Assistant Scout Masters. Every year they had more and more and more community service it is a natural part of their lives as adults. Way to go Simon! http://susanbowers.typepad.com/in_the_storm/2017/12/december-daily-day-9.html
