Story Within A Story
Each year I add another "story" to my December Daily. I have added Christmas songs, the Christmas story, vintage postcards that people wrote to their families at Christmas (so much fun), tags with Christmas symbols, and a few more. This year I added Christmas traditions of 25 different countries. I had to pick and choose countries and traditions due to limited space.
I used Becky Higgins Instax Mini page protectors. I cut one side off and used the side with the holes for the rings. You can find them at Scrapbook.com.
I created my inserts with Photoshop Elements. (Can't live without it!)
Clip Art came from Google searches.
Stories about traditions are from all over. Most of my books serve as a glimpse into our daily life in December, but I also use it to share/educate about important things of this world, other people, and a bit of creativity.
Each Day: Instead of using paper/wood/chipboard/, etc. numbers for each day of the December Daily I used my family. A fun way for a bit of family participation.
Day 11
Instead of journaling on my layouts, I used the lower section of the Instax Mini to journal each day.
Day 1
"December Story"
Every year Ali Edwards, creator of December Daily, does a "freebie" week giving away a digital Christmas element. This December Story card was one from a year or so ago.
