December Daily 2024 | Day 05
Day five of December Daily brings a story that has been repeated 2 other times in my album, so I wanted to tell it from a bit different of an angle this year. My youngest has played saxophone in the middle school band since 6th grade and this is his last middle school winter concert. Even at 20 and nearly-19, his siblings still make it a point to come to each and every one of his events, just like he did theirs, and I just love that story. So for today’s page, I am including some hidden photos to tell it!
December Daily 2024 | Day 05
I’m trying very hard this year to fit my whole December Daily into one album, so I wanted to work with just one 6x8. The problem was, I had three photos and journaling to include! Enter: pockets! I love incorporating pockets for more interactivity, so this was perfect.
I created two pockets, one with a paper from the Cocoa Daisy Nordic Nights collection at the bottom, and one with the photo enlargement at the top. I wanted there to be a visual emphasis on the family photo, since it tells the story, and honestly, the concert photo is dark and grainy anyway, so hidden it gets!
Here’s the page with the hidden portions puled out. Behind my main photo is the SAME photo taken in 6th grade to tell the story I wanted to tell. I mounted it on patterned paper and added a journal card from the same Cocoa Daisy collection. I also added a pull-tab at the top that says “6th grade”
For the concert photo, I added “eighth grade” in the center with the wreath sticker and then a little chipboard arrow piece pointing to my kid so you can easily find him. I also added another pull tab so you can easily get the photo out.
As far as embellishing, I added some rub-ons to both the photo and the patterned pocket + the title “winter concert” to the pocket with the letter stickers from the Nordic Nights kit.
I also added puffy sticker snowflakes and stars + chipboard pieces all over and a small #5 on one of the snowflakes for my daily number!
