Welcome to December Daily® 2023 Story 03.
Simon stopped by yesterday for some assistance with a film project he's working on so I took it as an opportunity to take a photo and tell a little story about him right now.
STORY IDEA: Combine a present + past December photo to illustrate the passage of time.
Here's how this page come together:
Table of contents for Story 03:
Today I used a Micron Pen for my Table Of Contents entry.
And let's take a look at how this story was documented:
Full page photo foundations continue to be one of my favorite ways to document my stories. This photo was sized 11 inches wide x 8.25 inches tall.
On top of the photo I added one of the window cards to hold my words and a second photo of Simon back in 2007. On the outside of the window card I added a chipboard star and gold puffy numbers.
Both the journaling block and the secondary photo are 3 inches x 3 inches. It was so fun to look back at my first December Daily® and find this photo of Simon + Santa to pair with the grown-up photo of him now.
I also added a couple more puffy numbers on top of the 2007 photo to designate the date.
These window cards are such a great way to create a little home for photos and words. Last one I used one on top of a pattern paper and I love the simplicity of that one too.
As I'm looking at that now I love how I added the tab sticker along the top. I might add something similar to today's story too.

I love this story of Simon and happy to see him and that he’s doing so well!! I remember that older photo of him too. Such a neat idea to add a past photo to present one.

I have looked for the tutorial about building the window cars using the digitals from Kelly that you
Mentioned in your video but I can’t find it anywhere. I know I have seen it.

They are included in the digital download (within the folder with the templates). It's not a video tutorial.

Also I ordered these star Brad’s on Amazon a few years ago in case you’re still looking for them. (Not an affiliate link, just FYI 😃)

I love this video. I'm just hanging out working on my album while you craft and talk too. This page of Simon came out great! I still have younger ones at home, so I can't even imagine what it's like having an older child out of the house. So nice that he just pops on by!

It's amazing how storytelling can blend the past and present so seamlessly, like in this December Daily® project. It really captures the passage of time, just like how certain experiences can leave lasting memories. Speaking of lasting experiences, if you're looking for companionship in Italy, I highly recommend checking out https://djoyk.com/escort/italy . I’ve used the service myself, and the quality of service and professionalism really stood out. It's a great way to enjoy your time and make your trip memorable.
