Hello December Daily!
Hello documenting Christmas, decorating, baking, wrapping, shopping, believing, celebrating, family!
If you're not familiar with the December Daily concept you can go here to read more.
This year I'm working with the Studio Calico December Daily kit and the Noel Mignon Ribbon Candy Project Life kit, along with some goodies that I've pulled out of my own stash. After doing this for several years I have discovered that my favorite album size to work with is the 6x8 which is one of the reasons I went ahead and purchased the SC kit (last year I used the Simple Stories album in the same size). I should also mention that I did not finish last year's album so I'll probably be sprinkling in some posts of that album as well :)
So for the cover I took my inspiration from Ali Edwards and painted it in Martha Stewart Crafts Summer Linen. I only painted the front & I'll probably end up putting some patterned paper on the inside cover. But for now I left it plain. Then I painted a few of the stars with a gold Sharpie (after adhering the chipboard accents).
I painted the "25" chipboard with Krylon gold glitter blast & attached it to the cover with 2 brads. I didn't have any gold brads so I colored silver ones with my gold Sharpie (worked like a charm!).
To finish it off I added the gold ribbon along the edge of the album. I may also add a red ribbon when I'm finished but we'll see.
I'll be back soon with the first few pages of my album!
