December Daily 2009 : Day 20, Day 21, Day 22
DAY TWENTY
For Day 20 I had slipped this great Santa illustration from Iowajewel's treasures into a page protector and created another pocket by stitching right down through the page protector. The pocket ended up becoming home for a photo about some wine we purchased (front) and some thoughts on joy (back.
Here's a look at what I printed & tucked in the pocket on the back (Christmas twill can be found here):
Here's the original:
DAY TWENTY-ONE
This one is a digital page that I printed and punched holes. I had Chris take a photo of me as I was making some royal icing for the first time. Love the real-life-technology in the kitchen photo. Here's the digital page (from my December Daily Template Package No.1):
Here's what I adhered to the back (large photo + catalog piece + a couple other embellishments):
DAY TWENTY-TWO
I took Jenni's bingo card and cut it to create a top and bottom frame around the photo. I used Fiskars Apron Lace border punch to create the decorative edges.
Here's the back (word art can be found here):
The original:
I also had a chance to print out the last photo for Day 19:

Ali, thank you so much for sharing your inspiration with us each day. I've enjoyed every moment I've spent on your blog looking at your DD and have done my very own for the first time this year. Imagine when Simon and Anna are old enough to understand all the treasures you created for them.....it will be for them joy beyond words.

I remember the Santa and Mrs. Claus images from a book I had when I was a little girl! It was one of my favorite books. Wow - seeing your album just brought back a whole slew of memories from my childhood. Thanks, Ali!

I really enjoy all of your photos. I just now notice that you don't use a flash when you take pictures. Can you tell me what did you do with your camera? What kind of camera do you mostly use?
