The seventh tag of Christmas

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

The sixth tag of Christmas

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

December Daily - Pages 8 and 9

Pages 8 and 9 are a two page spread.

On the back of the "December" calendar page, I placed a piece of patterned paper cut to size and a matted 5x5 photo (with brush by Christine Borgfeld).
In front of page 9 I added a "1" chipboard piece from 7Gypsies. I covered the chipboard piece with embossed Bazzill and added Hiedi Swapp rubons and a stamped embossed frame (Unity stamps).

Behind the "1" is a photo of our decorated tree. I outlined the ghost letters with Stickles.

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.
