Well hello there day 3. Michael took Kate over to his parents’ house this morning so I got in some good quality December Daily time. Oh, and there was some Gossip Girl watching at the same time. Trashy TV *and* scrapbooking? Yes please!
We went with some friends to the Children’s Museum on Saturday to decorate gingerbread houses so I had a million a few really cute pictures to work with. I couldn’t narrow it down to 3 or 4 pictures so I added extra pages. They weren’t all 6×6 so I went ahead and put the binder rings on before I took the pictures.
Here you can see the back side of Day 2 and the front side of day 1. Now, it’s on a transparency so you can see the next page peaking through. I <3 playing with transparent pages.
I adhered the photos back to back sandwiching the transparency so the adhesive wouldn’t show. You can sort of see the back of the rick rack and Christmas tree, but that doesn’t bother me in the slightest.
I had more photos to include, so I added some extra pages. I typically make them *not* 6×6 so that it’s obvious, at least to me, that they are not the start of a new day.
This is just a 4×6 photo with a thin cardstock mat.
On the back, I did the journaling for the day. You can’t really tell from the photo, but that’s an acrylic snowflake. I ran it through my xyron and set it on a piece of patterned paper. Then I cut around it with an exacto knife and filed the edges with a nail file. So the patterned paper is on the bottom and the acrylic is on top. Hard to explain, but it looks pretty neat. 🙂
Still had a few more pictures (honestly, is there much that’s cuter than a 2 year old decorating a gingerbread house?) so I made 2 more pages that were a just big enough to give a little frame to a 2×3 photo.
These mini pages each have a picture on the front and the back so I was able to add 4 more photos. I love that I have the freedom to add more pages when I need to! I’m pretty please that I’ve been able to keep up so far, but the month is young. We’ll see how I do next week. 🙂
