December Daily : Day Six

I was sitting out on the couch working on my laptop earlier this afternoon when Simon announced, "Mommy, it not working." It ended up being the Elf dvd. Some minor accident had occurred and Elf was no  longer his cherry self. Fortunately the box we purchased included two dvd's (a widescreen and a fullscreen version - because we all need both, right?) of this movie that has quickly become one of his favorites.

A great little story to tell today.

And a chance to create a pocket page by stitching the transparency directly onto a sheet of photos.

Here's a look at the back with just a tiny bit of journaling along the bottom celebrating four good little things around the house from today:

Stamps featured on the front are from a company called Educational Insights and can be found here (uppercase) and here (lowercase). I found my sets at a local teacher store - The Learning Palace if you are here locally (they also have some locations in the Portland area). To stamp onto the transparency I used black Staz-On ink.

The cream lace strip along the bottom, just above the journaling, is a cool new product from Narratives: Self Adhesive Paper Lace. Just peel off the backing and stick it down.

    I love the transparency pocket idea! Glad there were 2 DVDs too. Back in the day my little sister would wear out VHS tapes... I think some movies my parents bought at least 3 times.

    Your album is great. It will be so fun for your family to look back on the Holiday. One question, I see chocolate covered pretzels. Please tell me you made them and can post how to make those. :)

    I always figured the two discs was so it didn't matter what type of TV you had (wide or standard). But now I know better...twice the value when one disc dies. There is another to take its place.
    Loving your album Ali. I must go find my creative urge again....it has been AWOL for months now.

    The exact same thing happened to us. My son broke Elf's movie and we were so glad that it came with 2 DVD's.
    It is amazing how parents everywhere are going through same experiences. Great idea to incorporate the DVD into album!!
