The fifth tag of Christmas

Here is my take on the fifth of Tim Holtz's 12 Tags of Christmas.

December Daily - Pages 6 and 7

Page 6, easy peasy. I adhered a cropped 4x6 photo on the back side of the clear tabbed page, framed by the kraft envelope. I printed a quick title on a Fontwerks label by adhering the label to a piece of printer paper (where I had already printed the title) and putting the paper through my printer again. Page 7. Another Jenni Bowlin calendar card.

The fourth tag of Christmas

Here is my take on the fourth of Tim Holtz's 12 Tags of Christmas.

December Daily - Page 5

To make page 5, I adhered a Maya Road envelope to a clear acrylic tabbed page from Zutter. I stamped "tradition" on the outside of the envelope. Inside the envelope is a little flip book I made to hold photos of our favorite Thanksgiving specials.

I created the flip book by adhering pieces of stationary weight paper back-to back to create four pages. I then scored these pages 0.5 inches from the left edge. I sewed the four pages together, just inside the scored line.

What I love best about a book of this type of construction (mixed pages) are the serendipitous moments. After I made everything for page 5, I realized the word "tradition" could be seen from previous pages:

How perfect is that?

The third tag of Christmas

Here is my take on the third of Tim Holtz's 12 Tags of Christmas.

December Daily - Page 4

On the back of the 5x7 photo on Page 3, I adhered a 5x7 patterned paper photo mat (Little Yellow Bicycle) with my day-after-Thanksgiving menu printed around the edges. I then nestled a 4x6 photo in the middle of the mat, with a little "home sweet home" sticker.

On Thanksgiving Day we had done dinner out with my in-laws, on the day-after-Thanksgiving, we had a more traditional Thanksgiving dinner, just the two of us, at home.

Second Tag of Christmas

Here is my take on the second of Tim Holtz's 12 Tags of Christmas.

The frame stamp is from Unity, the letter stamps are Art Warehouse. I used scarlet Glimmer mist for the background, copper Zing for the frame embossing, and bronze Perfect Pearls.

December Daily - Pages 2 and 3

I like to start my December Daily album with Thanksgiving, because that's really when the holiday season starts for me. On the back of Page 1, I added a Jenni Bowlin November 2009 calendar. You can see in this photo that Pages 1 and 2 were built on a page protector. I added trimmed transparencies to all of my page protectors so that I could use them as clear pages instead.
The front of the next page is a photo from Thanksgiving. The photo is adhered to a trimmed die cut paper.

First Tag of Christmas...

Here is my take on the first of Tim Holtz's 12 Tags of Christmas.
I'm making mine ATC sized. I used an Inkadinkado stamp and black glitter Zing embossing powder.

December Daily - Page 1

On the opening page of my December Daily album I used a photo of some of my Christmas decorations (decorated lanterns) matted with red cardstock. I digitally added a poem and an edge brush to the photo. I added Thickers for the year (covered in Glossy Accents to keep the glitter from getting everywhere). The patterned paper label shape backing the year is actually the back of the following page, but it provided a perfect spot for the chipboard numbers.
