And so it begins! Here is my first page in the December Daily album. On the left is the backside of the album cover. I'm feeling like that needs a little something added to it, but we'll see if I end up doing anything there.
I freehanded the outline of this page, and cut it out in black felt. Then I stitched a border around the edge with red thread.
I added some hidden journaling by using a long strip of patterned paper, with white cardstock inside where I typed out and printed my journaling. I added two buttons to the patterned paper before adhering it to the cardstock, so that I could wrap baker's twine around them to hold the top and bottom together.
Inside is a bit of a reflection on how much we have been anticipating this month due to the upcoming birth of our little boy, and my feelings and expectations about it all. I also added one of the ultrasound pictures to the bottom of the journaling page (which I scanned in and added in Photoshop).
So far I haven't added anything to the back of this page, although I have a couple of ideas. More tomorrow...hopefully.

Oh my goodness.. I'm glad I came across this. I knew it was the 1st but overlooked that it was the first day of the DD. :-/
ReplyDeleteYou have such a good subject for your first day. And your idea for the buttons on the cardstock is great.
