December Daily® 2017 | Day 10

Welcome to December Daily® 2017 | Day 10. 

For my story today I played with two enlarged photos and cut them into 2 inch x 2 inch squares to fit in the 12 pocket page protector. Sometimes with these small pockets I enjoy slipping in a bunch of embellishments or photos from around the house or pieces cut from things that have come into the house recently (packaging, etc) but this time I decided to go with full page photos chopped into a bunch of squares. 

Here's what Day 10 looked like when I did my  Foundation Pages

And here is what I ended up creating: 

First I decided to staple the tree transparency to the back of the Day 9 pocket page. This enabled me to feel totally fine about moving on to the next page protector vs. feeling like I needed to fill in the pockets behind Day 9. I moved the story tag (waiting for kids to come home to have them fill these out) between the tree transparency and the 2 inch x 2 inch pocket page. 

For Day 10 I decided to print two 6 inch x 8 inch pages and cut them up into 2 inch x 2 inch squares for both the front and the back of the page protector. You can see this process in my video overview below. 

I removed one square of the photos and added the cork "10." I also added word/phrase stickers that related to the activities we had going on yesterday. I trimmed these stickers to have less blank space around each word. 

On the back side I added my second photo (one of the cozy blankets on my unmade bed) and ended up typing up just a few words and printing them on vellum and slipping it inside the pocket on top of a part of the larger photo. 

Font is  Remington Noiseless. 

Here's a look at the front and back of Day 10 outside the album: 

Bring on the simple!

    Completely inspired and scraplifting this idea as well!!! Especially since I have a 2x2 page protector as my day 10 as well. I was actually planning to recycle my same idea I do every year and cut wrapping paper samples into 2x2 squares because I like to see the paper I used but this is such a fresh idea! Every year I lift 2 or 3 ideas from you and copy them and this is the first for the year. Ha!

    Hi Ali, these pages and stories are darling! I have a question, are the 6x8 photos enlarged from a landscape or portrait orientation? I took a horizontal (landscape orientation) of the outside of my home to make is 6x8 but I lose a lot of the content of photo? Then I took a photo again and oriented the camera to be portrait and I still lose a lot of content of photo unless I back up really far. How do you do it? Thank you

    I love the 'cozy' feel of the picture of your bed, especially since your theme is 'cozy' this year. I'm going to try this.
    Enjoy your day, Sharon

    Can someone please help me I have not started my DD yet as I needed a new printer so I went to get Ali’s cannon pixma MG7720 but that has been discontinued here in Australia and they gave me the one that has replaced it the cannon pixma TS9000. But I can’t get it to print 6x8. It’s really doing my head in because I JUST WANT TO START ALREADY. LOL.

    Love how you split your big photos into the little pockets. Where is your plaid wrapping paper from?
