Day 22 was created using a beautiful altered coffee sleeve that was made for me by my friend Jamie (YT: ScrappinStampers). \u00a0After drinking and nibbling on about half of the wonderful treat bag that it contained, I cut the front panel off, re-adhered the pom pom trim that was on the bottom of the back panel at the top of the front panel, and hot glued 3 edges of the sleeve onto the page to create a pocket. Jamie’s Copic coloring is just amazing and now I will have her artwork as a permanent part of my December daily! I made\u00a0a journaling card\u00a0into\u00a0a tag by adding the dies I cut out using my Diemond Dies Holly Leaves Die Set<\/a><\/span><\/span>\u00a0with green glitter paper and red card stock (I put Glossy Accents<\/a><\/span><\/span>\u00a0on the berries, which gave them a shiny, realistic look).<\/p>\n

Day 23 was two pages. The first is just a card that I made using my free digi, Happy HOWLidays. \u00a0This was the card that I made a lot of to finally get some cards out so I thought I should document that in my December Daily. \u00a0I hadn’t really thought of it before, but the inside of the card makes a perfect journaling spot. The next page was a fun one. \u00a0I used some left over wrapping paper. \u00a0This kraft paw print paper made me gasp with delight when I first saw it wrapped around a gift sent to me a month or so ago so I salvaged as much as I could and had been hoarding it for a special project. \u00a0I used the\u00a0Tim Holtz Sizzix Movers & Shapers L Die called “In the Bag”<\/a><\/span><\/span> to create a little faux shopping bag, adding a twine handle and a hand made double twine bow. \u00a0This was a great way to represent all the Christmas shopping I’ve been doing as well as the doggy bag that I got at a holiday dinner I attended at Maggiano’s (part of the menu has a two-fer; order one dish for dinner and they make a second one for you to take and eat at home the next day for free!). \u00a0The little decorative tag I made using a dimensional sticker and one of the smaller tag dies from the Diemond Dies Nesting Tag Die Set<\/a><\/span><\/span>. I used one of the larger tag dies to create a journaling tag that slides in and out of the doggy bag. \u00a0As I’ve said before, I think this tag nesting die set is one of the most useful dies I own–it has been indispensable for my December Daily album.<\/p>\n

Day 24 was a simple one. I simply used another one of the tag dies, some left over glitter paper and bit of\u00a0gross grain ribbon, and the last scrap I had of one of my favorite papers from the Graphic 45 “Bohemian Bazaar” collection<\/a><\/span><\/span>. \u00a0The tag is finished off with the Lawn Fawn scripty joy die<\/a><\/span><\/span>. \u00a0I die cut it out twice and offset the words to create a kind of shadow effect that helps the word pop off the busy background. \u00a0A little journaling on the back of this tag was all the page required.<\/p>\n
