Welcome to December Daily™ 2013 | Day Twelve.

As I looked at my supplies today this fun little "blessings" circle kept jumping out at me. I decided to document 12 blessings from the last few days as my story today.

Here's a look at what I came up with:

AE_DD2013_Day12_Spread

On the back of my note to Santa (on vellum) I added the "blessings" circle - this was circle punched from one of the 3x4 cards in the Studio Calico kit. Originally I had it in a pocket but loved how it looked when I laid it on top of the back of the vellum.

On top of the red blessings circle I added the 12 from the set of the gold circle numbers to create the "12 blessings" title.

The other part of today's spread is a divided page protector that I cut in half (removing two of the 3x4 pockets).

Inside the top pocket is a "heart december" word art that was cut with the Silhouette using gold POW paper. Check out a tutorial on how to open, trace and cut my PNG files with the Silhouette.

Inside the bottom pocket is my journaling. I typed it up on a 3x4 blank canvas in Photoshop.

Along the top and bottom of the journal card I added washi tape from the kit.

    I think, if I was to go hybrid or 'real' the thing I would love doing most would be making awesome cut outs like these. It looks so pretty. x

    Lovely pages. The vellum adds the perfect, wintry 'frosty' touch. :-)

    Great idea! Love how it plays into the whole 12 Days of Christmas song but with much more meaning!

    Love the blessings circle! It looks like a little ornament. :) The thank you letter to Santa is a great idea, too. I'm going to do both in my book. Thanks for the inspiration, Ali. :)

    Oh, great idea! Yesterday I didn't happen to take any photos, and there wasn't that much going on to talk about. I may have to borrow this 12 Blessings theme, thanks!

    I adapted your 12 themed journaling Ali to 12 gifts of 2013, thank you for the inspiration and awesome ideas. I have a day that I just haven't added because I dont need 4 3x4s (x2 as the next day I would have to use them also), I also dont want that many 'empty' pockets of sequins and wood veneers etc. I have my solution thank you. PS Hope the weather clears in time for school next week. Yes to those free Santa videos, just awesome.
