Day 5.
I had made an extension on the cardstock I used for the previous day which I then folded underneath. The banner used on day 4 "Life is" was then continued with "beautiful" to the next page.....
which is my Day 5.
Day 6.
Is then underneath this flap. I've included another Christmas carol as well as the day's happenings.
Day 7.
I've added a cardstock matt behind two sections cut from the Kaisercraft Story Book collection paper
and this forms a type of a pocket to hold the tag. I'm not sure how well it is going to sit in there but for the moment it's ok. It may need a paper clip to hold it down.
This is what the tag originally looked like...
and after adding some stamping, watercolouring the stars, and adding some other little bits as well as journalling it was ready to
slip in behind here. The "pocket" is only glued at the bottom so most of the book page can still be seen when the tag is out. The tag also provides room for a photo and more journalling on the back.
Day 8.
The photos were way too bright for this page so to tone down the blue bits a little I dabbed on some white gesso and then when dry rubbed over it with the sand beige ink pad. The page is a little warped because of the "pocket" and tag at the back but hopefully will settle once the book is put together.
We'd love you to share all your process and December Daily journey with us

We'd love to see them!
Love that pocket and tag and how you've imitated the vintage look of the book. Coming along beautifully Deb.
