I'm back today with story 15 in my 2022 December Daily® album.

Today's story is about an overnight adventure to visit my parents on the coast.

Let's dive right in to the video:

Here's a closer look via images:

Today's story is told using one of the transparencies from the Specialty Paper Pack paired with a full page photo of my Mom and Simon dancing.

I started this one by collecting all the photos I wanted to add onto the grid transparency and cropping them to 2.25 inches x 1.75 inches. I added them all to one canvas in Photoshop and printed it out. Want to learn how to resize photos like this? Check out this video tutorial.

Along with my rectangle photos I also told my story on rectangles. In Photoshop I created the black boxes and then added my text on top and made the color white. I did six of these to tell the story of our coastal overnight.

I trimmed the grid transparency to fit the number of photos + journaling rectangles I wanted to use. I also love how leaving one of the center spaces blank allows us to peek through to the full page photo and my Mom behind it.

In addition to the photos and words I added another one of the puffy circles from the Main Kit and I added "15" to one of the foiled circle label stickers.

On the back I added another puffy circle sticker and another circle label sticker with Tim Holtz Rub ons on top + a small star brad. I also added a glitter acrylic star from my stash (2 more were added to the full page photo).

I went through all kinds of variations on this one before just sticking some things down and calling it good! I really like how it turned out.
