December Daily 2012 - is finally here!!
Gosh, did December sneak up on you this year or what?!? Hence, I fell behind a little on my foundation pages, but nonetheless, I completed them. Here is a look of each before completion (bare with me on the random glares from the sheet protectors. Thanks.) The consistant design in the pages is a Hambly overlay sewing on with some type of embellishment. Enjoy!
Title Page: Simple Target ornaments sewn in with Martha Stewart holiday tape accenting. I added holiday snow into the 2012 section with a deer sticker on the outside. And added a notecard with a saying on it "The greatest depth of love, the fullest portion of joy, and the richest measure of peace." This ironically tied in my entire Title Page images. I added fabric paint to some words (partially because when I sewed on the heart to the back, it made some letters get covered)
Misc Insert: Found some Target gift bags and used them for my 6x6 inserts. I took the tag "Merry & Bright" and tied a bow with the handle ribbon.
Dec 1: Hambly overlay with reindeer ornament from Target. Outlined with Maya Road ribbon and Martha Stewart holiday tape. Added a holiday calendar notecard highlighting Dec.1 but allowing the 25 to show through the deer. (I had notes in days that had already past of what to put inside)
Dec. 2: Pink Hambly overlay with ribbon found at Hobby Lobby clearance. I added some random felt pieces and a notecard for the days events. The two was stamped with blue Staz-on and embossed with UTEE and teal tinsel. I added tiny circular stickers in the creme colored paper.
Dec. 3: Probably my favorite page foundation. Love the way the canvas tree sewn on to the wood paper looks. I placed it over a Hambly overlay with JOY stickers added. The 3 was on a numbered ribbon strip I have.
Dec. 4: Not my favorite, but sometimes you just have to walk away before adding more. Took a teal chevron fabric piece and placed chipboard stickers on it. I then spray painted and added paint splatters, dried, removed stickers, traced with glitter glue. I then sewed the hearts into their own section. Package tape sealed the left side and Hambly overlay on top.
Dec. 5: Large number from Hobby Lobby clearance- sprayed with pink paint, and magenta tinsel added while wet. Ribbon was also slightly misted with paint. And hot glued to Hambly overlays.
Dec. 6: Also adore this page. Simple Hambly overlay with a felt ornament from Michaels...with a hot pink foam Thickers stickers sewn on. (Be careful when sewing foam as it can pull apart with such close needle holes.)
The finishing touch was a cute stamp I picked up from my local scrapbooking store Family Memories. First, I tried using Staz-on and UTEE right on the sheet protector, but it failed numerous times. I then tried paper, but didn't like the effect. So I grabbed my paperclay...and....loved it. I formed a thin, flat piece to cover the stamped section. Before drying, I stamped the image.
When dried, I took a glaze of watered down magenta/pink paint and applied. Make sure to get in the stamped portion. I then took a wet baby wipe and cleaned up the area that was raised to display the image better. Here is the result which I hot glued to the page.
Misc Insert: Another gift bag with gesso applied. The side is a ribbon I found at the Dollar General. The back has a tag from another gift bag.
Dec. 7: Ornament from Dollar General covered with glue and coated with glitter/pink beads. Placed on top a doily which was sprayed with glitter paint and glued onto a Hambly overlay. The "7" is an iron-on number.
Dec. 8: This is the start of Hanukkah so I incorporated the colors of blue, white, and gold with ribbon and a paper star over silver Hambly overlay. The side was sealed with metallic duct tape. The flare pins were ones I got for shopping at JCP during Black Friday. (I removed the pin portion and adhered paper to the back). I added in some word notecards and sealed in some stars below.
Misc. Insert: The baseball/trading card page consisted of an image I used on my cover originally. The mask was covered in pink tar gel, so I stamped it onto a large piece of paper. Hence the result below which I broke down into 9 parts.
Dec. 9: Hambly mustache overlay with a JOY gift tag from Target which I added ribbon and glitter glue to. The "9" is a Thickers sticker sewn on. And then I added reindeer ears from a headband I got at Dollar General.
Dec. 10: Some pages call for simplicity among chaos. I used Thickers woodgrain stickers for the "ten" which will be the base of a tree made of the words on the sheet inside. A simple decorative tape added on the bottom (my brother in Japan gave me a plethora of tape from their dollar store which I love...much more reasonably priced then in the US)
Dec. 11: The "11" is found in the overlapping ribbon next to Hambly overlay which I highlighted JOY with glitter glue.
Misc. Insert: The gift bag previous mentioned was deconstructed for this insert with another Dollar General ribbon added on the side. The back side is a gift bag found at Dollar General (tag was used in previous insert.)
Dec. 12: Hambly overlay with paper tree cutout layered on top. A Thickers "12" added down the side. A simple page as I love the JOY in the trees showing.
Dec. 13: Martha Stewart holiday tape down side with Hambly overlay in the middle. Another ornament from Target with two charm numbers "1", "3" found at Hobby Lobby clearance adhered. (This page gave me inspiration for next year...theme of trees.)
Dec. 14: Simple chipboard stickers sewn on to a Hambly overlay.
Dec. 15: An Ace of Hearts charm placed before a chipboard "15" covered with silver tinsel glitter. The deer was a simple wooden cutout which I applied Antique Linen Distress Ink to.
Misc. Insert: Used an old Elsie Flannigan paper (miss her designs) with tinsel ribbon all around and pink ribbon on the side. I may add some gesso for drawing a design later.
Dec. 16: Various ribbons sewn on with a Love gift tag from Target (cropped), sticker gems shaped like an arrow pointing to a sequins heart. The "15" is a Tim Holtz brad element.
Dec. 17: Snowman ornament from Michaels on top of 2 Hambly overlays with a JCP flare pin added. The tag consists of a stenciled image using Martha Stewart paint with the "17" highlighted with fabric paint.
Dec. 18: Fabric scrap cut in the shape of "18" with Hambly rub-ons added. The deer is sticker. (I used an adhesive to seal in the rub-ons so they would not get scratched off.)
Dec. 19: JOY TO THE WORLD in foam Thicker stickers with a wooden deer ornament from Target.
Misc. Insert: Used candy cane colored duct tape for the side. The wood paper on both sides has stenciled images using Modeling Paste. The WISH is from my old stash of holiday goodies.
Dec. 20: Drywall tape highlights the side and under the date. The number is chipboard letters sewn on with a gingerbread house sticker from Michaels. (I left half of the backing on the sticker to allow me to insert images into the pockets.)
Dec. 21: Iron-on birdie glued on to a doily and applied to the page. Pink thickers are the numbers adhered with a CHEERS ornament from Target.
Dec. 22: An train image from a book cover sewn on with the number "22" adhered. I removed the numbers brads to be able to avoid putting holes into the protector sheets.
Dec. 23: Woodgrain Thickers spelled out on the overlay with a teal glittered poinsetta adhered with a gingham brad.
Dec. 24: A gridded overlay with metal stars (wire garland from Hobby Lobby) on top. The numbers are from Martha Stewarts line. I plan on adding a Santa with a sleigh image to this page as well.
Dec. 25: Glittered deer sticker with "25" sticker filled in with glitter glue. I wanted the Santa image on the overlay to shine a bit as well.
Enjoy and Happy Crafting!
HELLO DECEMBER!!
