December Daily™ 2011 | Day Nine
Welcome to December Daily™ 2011 | Day Nine.
JUST A NOTE | I've got a second post going here on my Projects Blog today - December's Technique Tuesday/Studio AE Blog Hop. Check it out here.
Have you guys heard of Portable North Pole? My friend Stacey introduced it to me last year - it's a way for your kids, grandkids, neighbor kids, etc to receive an email and a video message Santa. The best part is that it's personalized.
It was pretty much magic watching Simon and then Anna view their videos.
The best part was Simon saying to Anna, "Anna, I'm so glad you're on the nice list." He was so excited for her. He's a really good brother.
Here's a look at my pages and my process:
For the first page I used one of my December Daily™ Layered Templates (includes the favorite tradition overlay).
I printed that on 8.5 x 11 and cut.
On top of the photo I added a "he" and "she" buttons from Ormolu. The "&" was cut with the Silhouette.
For the second page I printed out the email and did some cutting and pasting. I printed it directly from my email program.
I printed and cut up both emails so I could include their names together on this one page.
It's hard to do justice and capture just how excited they both were.

Loved your layout! I was introduced to PNP this year. My son loved getting a video message from Santa. It was great!

Doesn't matter which project you blog on, your work is wonderful! Thank you so much for the inspiration! My grandson loved his personalized video from Santa... this is second year but this is the first time he is really into it... after all, he's only 3!!! Christmas is special every year but there is nothing like experiencing it with children in the house!!! thank you!!

Isn't it awesome!? I think this is the best one so far! Santa asked my 6 yo ds to try really hard not to suck his thumb anymore...we've tried *everything* for two years now...and guess what??? No more thumb-sucking!!! We still can't believe it ! It's been 6 days since he got his Santa video and not one time have we seen him do it! Love me some Christmas miracles ;)

So amazing....I never knew about PNP and went straight to the site and put in for a message for my 5 year old daughter. I cried when I saw it, I dont know what I will be like when I show her. I think I am going to cry a river, mind you I cry every time I hear people singing the national anthem, or kids singing anything, I am a big softie. Thank you so much for sharing this amazing site.

This is amazing. I enjoyed every moment doing it, and can't wait to show them. Thank you for all the inspiration. I did the advent calendars also this year, and what a hit.

OMG this is priceless! When our son was about 8 years old, we had a family friend call pretending to be Santa - watching his face on the phone had us laughing and crying at the same time. Such a great moment and thank you so much for sharing!

Those that cannot apply for this kind of card or that would prefer a different solution could consider a prepaid card that
comes with a credit building element as an alternative.
It's a good idea to have separate email promotions for prospects and customers, too, because you typically need to send different information to the different groups. You wont get a true imitation of your signature with this Android app, unless you can cleverly manipulate the mechanics behind its operation, but that is highly unlikely.

Unfortunately bats are becoming increasingly endangered because of decreased habitats and roosting spaces.
One of the best ways to do this is to pick
up key points as a person speaks and remember them
because you share a similar experience or have knowledge about the subject.
