December Daily® 2020 | Story Fourteen
Tags:
For the fourteenth story in my 2020 December Daily® album I'm celebrating Elliott's 14th birthday.
His actual birthday was on the 12th which makes this a great reminder that you don't have to tell a specific story on a specific day. My goal with this project is to document 25 stories that happen between the first and the 25th.
Let's dive in and take a look how this came together:
Now let's take a closer look via images:

Bring on the circle repetition! For today's story I knew I was going to be working on the back of the circles from Story 13 and I decided to go to my computer and set up 6, 2.25 inch circles. On top of those circles I added my story for the day which is about what Elliott is "currently into" right now as a brand new 14 year old. I used a combination of Moms Typewriter and Bebas for my fonts.
I paired each of those circles with a partial piece of a 2.25 inch circle punched piece of pattern paper from the Main Kit (these ended up being about .75 inches wide) and then ran those through my sewing machine for added texture.
On top of each circle I added either a cork star or a glass star from Tim Holtz.
For the title on top of my full page photo I paired one of the plastic circles from the Main Kit with a 3-inch circle punched piece of white cardstock and stitched a circle to adhere the two of them together.

On top of the large circle I added a chipboard 14 from the Main Kit, a cork star, and a word sticker that says "wonderful."

Ali, how are you sewing on the circles? Do you have a special foot for the machine? Thanks.

I don't know about Ali but I used a regular foot on my machine and it does just fine. Just make sure you don't have too much adhesive under your paper or other items you add to the paper because that will gum up your needle and then it is a mess.

Ali I love the music you played in this video. Who is it and what's the name of the album..

Hi! All the music I use is via a licensing service called Soundstripe. The songs in this video were by a group called Dreamlamp.
