December Daily® 2025 | Ali’s Story 21

Welcome to Story 21 in my 2025 December Daily® project.
Today's story includes photos from my time with my parents on this coast last weekend. I'm pairing the large frame from the Die Cut Page Insert page with two of the plastic slide frames to create a foundation for your photos and crafty play.
Let's dive in to the video:
Here are additional images:
On the back of Story 20 I decided to add a large plastic Santa circle + a cute little rectangle title + a gold glitter star.
Around the inside of the large frame I added May Arts Scalloped Adhesive Ribbon. Love that pop of red on top of the frame.
I also love using the slide frames as a way to create homes for my photos and embellishments and words. I printed four, 2x2 inch photos and used scotch tape to adhere the photos to the back of the plastic frames.
In the other four "homes" on the plastic slide frames I added little clusters of patterns and embellishments.
I cut out a large heart from a journal card in the December 2025 Stories By The Month™ kit and used that as an element that's breaking out of the grid created by the plastic slide frames.
On top of the heart I stamped "this is Christmas" from the label stamp set and added a puffy star from the Sticker Advent Calendar. I used red/white twine to gather up three die cuts - added mini gold eyelets to each die cut in order to collect them together to create the hanging element.
On the back I wrote a quick little story about the weekend. I'd already collected the pieces of joy from the time together for the previous story.
After I finished this page I ended up adding a small magnet behind the pull out heart element to help it stay in place when it's in the pocket.

Always inspiring!! Embrace this time with your mom (I'm sure you are!). My mother had Alzheimers for 13 years (she was otherwise healthy) and I remember the Christmas early on where I did not give her gifts but did 5 activities with her while she could enjoy them. [Before DD so it hasn't been documented...YET!]

Thank you for the heart inspiration outside the frame. I made a heart for my Project Life album and with a really old Stampin’ Up grommet. It was fun.

That is such a meaningful way to approach it, especially choosing shared moments over things. Those activity based memories can matter even more when time together becomes the real gift, https://fnf-games.io
