December Daily™ 2011 | Day Nineteen

Welcome to December Daily™ 2011 | Day Nineteen.

The kids are home which means a big change to my regular work-day routine (hence posts not greeting you bright and early in the morning).

Yesterday was one of those "everyday" December holiday days spent mainly in and around the kitchen.

I decided to take a cue from how I was feeling and just document the basics of the day.

I used that great American Crafts Hollyday Red Suit paper as the foundation for my journaling. I mixed in Hero Arts Basic Uppercase stamps with my handwriting and added some of the Authentique black and white word stickers along a couple of the lines.

I paired that journaling with a shot of the kids helping me make some cookies:

On the photo I added word art from my Messy Little Christmas set. The strips along the bottom are from My Mind's Eye.

Here's a look at both pages in the album:

    I could NOT have done that journaling so it magically filled all the stripes and finished so perfectly at the end. You are amazing! OK, now I've read it all I think I need a nap myself ;)

    Love this page -- great idea of how to use the striped paper. Today is the first day my kids are home -- it is a rainy day and I know we will be baking today!

    Wanted to share with you how your project bonds friends together. One of my craftiest friends cannot get your blog on her internet connection at work. We love this project and do it every year and so look forward to your daily posts and inspiration. Every morning I copy your post into an email and send it to her. We love it --- thanks for continuing to do this project every year.

    [...] took inspiration from Ali to do my journaling except I cut my only piece of paper wrong, so it goes from right to left. [...]
