Lizzy's Days 7- 9

DAYS 7 and 8.

Still been mighty busy here!

For day 7, I used a photo of our Writers Group Luncheon.

I know that sounds fancy. We USED to meet and write.

But now we just meet and talk!

This page sits besides day 6. I like the balance

when one day has smaller, lots of photos, then the other side

has a single one like here.

Notice the sequin 'ropes'. Thought this was a good

way to use them as decoration!

I've used a tag to decorate behind the photo.

Here's my journaling and top of the tag.

The word embellies come from that Christmas stash.

How PERFECT!

The star below covers the back of 2 staples from the next page:

I made them myself. Simply added a good dose of PVA glue to white cardstock, then sprinkled with assorted glitter.

Leave to dry, then cover with more glue so it all stays put.

Cut with your die cut machine into any shapes you choose:)

The yellow 'enamel dots' are Ranger 'Enamel Accents'

in a little bottle that you squeeze out. I love them

cos you can make them any size you want!

Day 8:

I forgot to take a photo of 'us' today.

Ooops! Was obv having way too much fun!

However, I DID take ONE photo which has had

to become a 'representation' of my day!

Once again I've used my LITTLE MOMENTS app

on my IPhone to add the words to the photo:

I had already made some little sequin shaker packets.

FINALLY got to use one here.

I made them too big for my page/photos

OOOPS! So I tucked the top under the photo.

Also had to cut the Right side off, then re-seal with the gold washi tape!

Then, for added security, I stapled it in place, as you can see below, on the top Left:

I used my FUSE TOOL to make these packets. HOW TO:

1: I found some old 'DIY' alphas, with sticky BOTH sides of them,

This isn't necessary, it's just I wanted to use these up!

2: Not convinced they were still sticky enough, I used the BOSTIK

glue below to stick them to my plastic pocket.

The 'e' had been coloured but not used previously. That was

fine. It made it individual!

3: Next, I gathered all the packets I'd prepared and fused them

at the same time, using my hand made cardboard

board with lines on it so I can fuse in a straight line!

Hold the plastic in place with washi tape:

4: Fill with sequins, then seal the last side with

 your fuse tool.

You can also use stitching [hand or machine]

or even washi tape to seal your pockets, if you don't have

a fuse tool:

 The plastic is from old but good quality plastic sleeves. Worked a treat!

How observant are you?

Did you notice the 'v' in love is the same letter as the 'u' in laugh?

And the 'h' is NOT an 'h'.

This is a GREAT way to use up those alphas! Be inventive!

Maybe you'd like to try shaker pockets in your DD? Of course, once I started I couldn't stop... but that's for a future post!

Meanwhile Day 9:
This was a Grand Boy Lucas day. We did LOTS.
So I made a collage up.
My journaling is on a flip, behind the collage, with the little edge
of red on the left hand side the hinge.

It's tucked under the photo

and then wraps around the blue pp behind the collage, attaching to the base of the page. The kraft colour is on the other side of the red cardstock:

Getting back to my collage, to create the borders around the individual photos and the outside edge, I used my fave marker. Which works on most-all surfaces

Some close-ups. Below you can see that hinge. The red pictures on the collage are done with the Little Moments App:

The tab below is for opening the folder up, and I've added a silver heart created from a Lindt chocolate box and the paper clip was from a scrappy mate:

At the bottom of the page I've added some ribbon I was given last year, plus there is a little deer behind the photo. But its legs were showing which looked odd. So I attached some stars:

Inside. More feet photos! How else to half open a flip, I ask? That was rhetorical. You don't need to answer;)

Now you can see the deer in all his splendour. Since this was about Christmas decorating of our house, I figured I could be a bit more Christmassy in the embellies:

I think I've 'chewed your ear' for long enough in this post!

Thanks for taking a peek.

 And remember,

We'd love you to share all your process and December Daily journey with us
