Welcome to Story 07 in my 2024 December Daily® project!

I took the day off yesterday to spend some quality time with Aaron and I'm excited to be back to my table this evening after some volleyball in the early morning.

Story 07's home is on the back side of the 2x2 pocket page protector used in Story 06. This one was originally sparked by one of the scalloped plastic tags that had the words "simple quiet moments" printed on top. I ended up not using that particular piece after I got going (I need up decided to stamp + use red embroidery floss) but it was definitely the spark that invited me to jot down a couple things I did on my quiet Saturday.

Let's dive into the process video:

Here are additional images of the completed page:

For this design I ended up with three categories of squares:

1. Four 2x2's started with white cardstock as the base. On top of each I stamped the scalloped square tag stamp, trimmed it to 2x2, added my activity using a brush pen, and then finished it off with a gold star brad.

2. Four 2x2's started with a pattern scalloped plastic tag. On top of each of those I used embroidery floss to create a "star." I punched holes first to make the stitching easier (started my stitching from the outside holes into the center).

3. Four 2x2's started with the bold outline scalloped plastic tags. On top of those I either stamped the day of the week, the large number seven, or a couple sentiment stamps from the Paislee Press stamp set.

I really ended up loving how this one all came together!
