December Daily® 2020 | Story Eight

Welcome to December Daily® 2020 | Story Eight.

Today's story is a little bit of writing about my own working life in December. 

Today's video is full of me making mistakes + trying different things + muttering to myself +finally embracing the end result. I know I'm not alone in running into issues when creating + I want to make sure you guys know I'm right there with you! I hope you find a few moments to laugh during the video. 

Let's start with the process video:

Now let's take a look at my finished page via photos: 

This simple page surprisingly took me way longer than I expected. My initial plan didn't work (you'll see that in the video) so I pivoted and ended up with a page that focuses more than anything on the words + photos. 

I've got a small laser printer here at home and I set up my page with the "working" word art on top (download available for you below). After printing with the laser printer I ran the title through the Minc machine with green foil and then I ran the page with the title back through the printer to add my journaling. 

Along the edge I added one of the Fabric Half-Circle phrases. 

My photo was printed to 6 inches x 3 inches and adhered along the bottom of the journaling. Between the photo and journaling I used red line tape to adhere my light green pom trim on top. 

I cut off one of the poms and used green embroidery floss to attach one of the gold stars from the Main Kit and a Crate Paper Charm. 

You could also print both your title + journaling at the same time before running it through a Minc machine. I decided I just wanted the title foiled.

And in the end: 

I cut the poms off. Ha. Yep. That's how it all went down today.
