December Daily® 2025 | Ali’s Story 08

Welcome to Story 08 in my 2025 December Daily® project.

Today's story prompt is "in this season" and I'm using one of the papers from the Prompt Paper Pack as the jumping off point for my documenting. My foundation for this one includes the backs of the 4 inch x 4 inch cards from Story 07 along with a vertical transparency stitched along the inside edge of the prompt paper.

I saved my PDF journaling template and a layered photoshop file for your photos if you'd like to make something similar. Download the digital package here.

Let's dive in to the video:

Here are some additional details along with photos of my completed spread:

Let's start with looking at the backs of Story 07. On the top card I printed my journaling on sticker paper before adding it directly to the card.

I had this wood veneer eight in my stash of old, large numbers. It felt like today was as a good a time as any to put it to good use. I'm pretty sure these were either an add on or part of a past Week In The Life™ kit.

On top of the eight I stapled an "in this season" die cut from the Main Kit.

For today's story not only did I document some "in this season" items, I also wrote about why I like this kind of story.

For the second part of this spread I'm working on top of the "in this season" prompt paper. I printed my nine photos 1.5 inch x 1.75 inch.

To tell more of the story I also typed up and printed out journaling to go with each photo. I set up my canvas so that there was space above each piece of journaling in order to create flip-ups. I printed all those little journaling pieces on one 8.5 inch x 11 inch piece of regular printer paper.

After printing and cutting up each of my journaling flip ups, I stamped and embossed three different images three different times. I used the holly and bell stamp from this set and the "fa la la" pattern from this set. I embossed each one using a red, a cream, and a gold.

Essentially each row includes the holly, the fa la la, and the bell.

After embossing all the undersides of the flips ups I added these super cute mini labels to each of the fa la la embossed designs. On top of those I stamped
this month" from the Label Maker Stamp set.

On top of the embossed bells I added more of the awesome bow stickers.

And on top of the holly I added the white/cream phrase stickers.

I really love how this one came together! A really nice combination of words, photos and playful craftiness.
