Happy December Everyone! I wanted to share the cover of my Ali inspired December Daily journal http://aliedwards.typepad.com/_a_/december-daily-album-2008.html which I am calling our "December Joys- 2008" . I had a lot of fun putting this together over the past couple of weeks and look forward to filling it and sharing it over the course of this month.
I started with 2 8x8 book boards from 7gyspsies, painted 4 coats of "Christmas Red" acrylic paint, 3 coats of Mod Podge, the tree is made of buttons sewn onto a piece of antique mattress ticking, felt letters from Making Memories Fa-la-la collection, and glittered Tuxedo thickers from American Crafts.
I feel like this project is a gift that I am giving to myself and my family. During this busy time of year it is nice to have a little reminder to stop and live in the moment and this year I'll have a daily record of all the little joys that make this season magical.
I just love what you do with buttons (and art)! Amazing journal, my friend! (And, something so cool to give to you and your family -- love that, too!)
