I planned on posting Day One yesterday morning with the launch of Ali's Day One however that did not work out because Rite-Aid was out of paper! I send my photos to either Rite-Aid, Target or CVS to be printed for this project because they come out so much better. The pictures I printed from my printer in my very first December Daily 2012 were not a good quality. I am sure I pay a little more but in the end it is worth it. With this is the possibility of issues like Monday evening when I ran to Rite-Aid to grab the photos that "were done processing" only to find they were not ready because of that paper issue. I was pretty upset at first but decided not to let it ruin my first DD day!
By the time the morning rolled around I bought Ali Edwards 6 x 8 overlays which I had not planned on doing and I also added the journaling right on the photo which I had not done the night before. All inspired by Ali's first day! Thank you Ali for your constant inspiration.
For the third year in a row our December Daily begins with our tree search. Each of the last three years we have gone to a different place prior to that we ALWAYS went to the place we went to in 2012, Rice's Tree Farm. That year I was off about the place because it had become so commercialized and they had inflated the prices. I love that we are enjoying other tree farms.
Day One-
A 4 pocket cut down to 2 with pics of the littles at the tree farm filling the pockets.
The opposite side of the pockets and the big picture (a view from the tree farm) which was stunning! I added the journaling and put it on top of a printed overlay. Embellishment added glitter star from Studio Calico. Paper from last years December Daily Kit. LOVE.
Day Two
Simple. Our morning snuggling in bed with my favorite Santa mug and T's favorite Christmas Story. Journaling written around the photo on the cardstock overlay.
Embellishments added wood veneer hearts from Studio Calico, tape from Martha Stewart that I got a bunch of years ago.
I am not linking anything because of time. I want to keep posting but need to find a way to keep it easy! Happy December to you all!
Love the writing around the photo.
