Finished it

Well, last night I finished up my December Daily album (just in the nick of time). Well actually it's just the pages. Like some other people I know, I decided to hold off on the numbering. I did number the first two pages, before I had this revelation. I also have to buy some bigger binder rings...it's a little thick and the pages are having trouble turning. So I guess you'd like a little glimpse?






Here's a shot of page 1 & 2. For #1 I traced a bracket shape on some cardboard then just applied some acrylic paint, stamped the dotted circle and used a glittered Thicker. #2 is green chipboard(Creative Cafe) with some Scenic Route Xmas stickers and American Crafts letter stickers.





And I put that felt pocket (Creative Cafe) to good use turning it into a pocket page. With the assistance of my Cropodile I punched two holes, then set eyelets. I stamped on a plain white tag, attached ribbon and a Fancy Pants pin; then adhered the tag to the front of the pocket. For the inside I cut 2 tags. The idea for this page is to have the kids write their top Christmas "items" that they are requesting from Santa. (I really like how this page turned out)

In the background you can see how I stamped snowflakes (Basic Grey stamps) all over one of the acrylic pages.



And here's one more page. For this one I cut 2 squares of the felt. Stitched them together(back to back) and then I stitched the small red tag in the upper right corner.

So now you have a general idea of what my book looks like. I'll try to post updates as I go along.

Enjoy your Sunday...it's a wet rainy day here in New Jersey.
