Welcome to Story 12 in my 2024 December Daily® project!
Today's foundation page was set up to document one photo per month form the last year (this was set up for Prep Day and the word art is included as a download for that event). When I originally set it up I wasn't sure what kinds of photos I would add (photos of me or kids or Aaron or a mixture, etc). When it came time to add my story I decided to focus on my dog Betty. I went back through the last year of photos and found one of her for each month and printed them to the 2x2 size. I had planned to get a paw print from Betty (or try to) and got all the way up to the point of trying to place her paw in paint until it became very obvious that I forgot how much she hates having her paws touched. I get it girl! So I pivoted and ended up adding in a 3x8 journal card with an embossed number and stamped title on the front and a photo and journaling on the back. I love how it turned out. I also used this as a good opportunity to bring in the 2024 heart transparency.
Let's dive into the process:
And here are some images:
This story includes multiple pieces. First up is the 2024 heart transparency (cut down from 10x8 to fit the width of the folded 10x8).
On the outside of the folded paper I added a photo. The "Home Body" print is something I ordered from Amanda Jane Jones. Big thanks to Aaron getting that hung up for me while I was decorating the tree.
When you open the fold you will see 12 flip-ups and the 3x8 journal card. On top of that I stamped/embossed the number 12 and stamped out the title.
I added a tab sticker along the inside edge of the 3x8.
On the back of the 3x8 I added a photo with journaling (printed it together that way). I like how that goes into the next page with all the monthly flip ups.
That's my girl!
All the photos were printed 2x2. It was so fun to go back through and pick one photo of her each month.

It took me a minute from prep day to figure out what I wanted to use this for. I got it. This year was awesome, lots of travel. Because we lost our 13 year old dog. Last year we lost her and I’m going to make a memorial page for her and add to last years album Thanks Ali ! 💛💛

This is amazing! I’d already started putting mine together and now I’m wondering whether to change it. Haha. Definitely regret not getting those number stamps now!

I LOVE this idea and I will bet I have a photo of our Welsh Terrier, Flynn every month. It was a hard year as he was a sick boy and after testing and evaluations, we opted for surgery. He made it to his 11th birthday in August and is here for another Christmas. We are so grateful for his presence. Thank you for this wonderful way to honor him. P.S. I love that you realized that Betty would not enjoy the footprint. I have been meaning to make an impression of Flynn's foot in some flour and water dough like I did with my kids when they were little for Christmas ornaments. Maybe she could tolerate that and it would be totally safe for her paw.
