December Daily® 2020 | Story Ten

Welcome to December Daily® 2020 | Story Ten.

For my tenth story this year I decided to keep it really simple. I love the mix of craftiness + simplicity that is a part of the whole of my album and I love having a few easy + simple ideas in my back pocket for days when I've either got a lot or not a lot on my plate. 

What is one small moment of magic you can find + document today? 

Here's a look at the process: 

And here are some additional photos of my finished story: 

Today's story was prompted by one of the 4x6 cards in the Main Kit that focuses on finding magic in small moments. I knew that a small moment of joy/magic for me each day is checking in on my paperwhite + amaryllis bulbs to see where they are at in their growing cycle. I went downstairs, snapped a couple photos, came back upstairs and printed my photo and got to work on my page. 

Adding 4x6 cards directly into your album is a great way to dip your toes into having elements of your project exist outside the page protectors. I simply adhered the card back to back with my photo on three sides (leaving off adhesive along the top so I can create a pocket for my 3x4 journal card) and punched the two holes so the card would sit in the middle of the rings.  

I could have added journaling directly to my photo before printing but decided instead to simply handwrite my story on one of the 3x4 journal cards from the Main Kit. I adhered that card back to back with one of the sentiment cards from the Main Kit and added an Avery Index Tab along the top and slipped two of the perforated phrases from the Main Kit inside. For the story # I used the white puffy numbers.

On top of the 4x6 sentiment card I also added a cork star and I tucked one of the December Daily® tabs in between the 4x6 sentiment card and photo.  

I'm seriously loving all the different sizes and textures and layers within my album this year. 

Remember my friends, this project is more of a marathon than a sprint. Give yourself grace as you look for and record the stories. You've got this.
