December Daily® 2023 | Story 06

Welcome to Story 06 in my December Daily® 2023 album. 

In Story 05 I documented what the kids are loving so today I decided to document three things from me, Aaron, and our dog Betty using the ornament pattern paper and some of the ornament pockets from the Main Kit. 

Let's dive in to the process video: 

For today's Table Of Contents entry I used a Brush Pen:

And here's how this page looks via images: 

The foundation for this story is the ornament pattern paper and three of the ornament pockets from the Main Kit. Inside each of the pockets I added one of the plastic tags and a printed tag with what I'm loving, what Aaron is loving, and what Betty is loving. 

I used ribbon from this year's Trim Pack to hold the plastic tag and my printed journaling together. I use a small glue dot to hold both sides of the ribbon together. 

On top of the ornaments around the outside edges I used POSCA Paint Pens to add the dots. I did individual colors and spread them around the page but you could also do multi-color dots which would have been really fun! 

The little tag sets fit right into the pockets and I added puffy alphas on the top of the pockets for our initials. 

I ran these through the Minc Machine to add the gold foil on top of the text. 

It was fun to think of what Betty might be loving right now. Ha. 

After considering a few different ideas for the other two large ornaments I decided to create a custom title that says "currently loving." I printed that on transparency with a laser printer and then ran it through the Minc Machine to add the gold foil. I used one of the other pocket ornaments as a guide to cut out the ornament shape.

I ended up running that section through the sewing machine but the gold brad works just fine. 

For the story number I cut out one of the white ornaments from the 10x8 transparency paper and stitched it along the top. I also added brads to the top of any ornament visible on the page. On top of the transparency I added gold puffy numbers from the Main Kit.
