Hello Sassy friends
Fridays seem to roll back around so quickly... I'm looking very forward
to the start of the school holidays!
Thank you for stopping by to see how my December Days album has turned out.

Hopefully the way the majority has already been planned, should help making documenting over this crazy month very easy indeed.

of white glitter and then assembled it over the Santa die cut
It's hard to tell from the photo but this has been arranged on top
of the black spotted acrylic page divider. The circle was left over
from an earlier page and I've just tucked Santa inside
Day 19

A square run through my Cuttlebug with a Couture Creations embossing folder. |
Try stamping with Versamark on kraft. I love the effect. Heat emboss selections. |

Hide some journalling and a pic or two under a flap
and embellish with some faux baubles.
Simply trim and fold a piece of card, trim the end if you like
and tuck your photo/journalling inside.
Pop a small hole in the top of the bauble die cut from
the ephemera pack and machine stitch to your page
Day 21
Patterned paper, glitter stickers, wood numbers, ephemera

Create a cute shaker pocket with some of the spotty vellum.
1. Trim a piece, 100mm across by 170mm high.
Fold up at about 100mm down the length.
2. Optional: Punch some shapes out of the vellum
3. If you want to punch shapes in you pocket, insert a bit of acetate inside so you can see the confetti more clearly and prevent the bits from falling out.
4. Stitch three sides closed with a sewing machine.
5. Insert confetti and sew shut.
Tip: Place a bit of adhesive on one or two of the shapes
inside the shaker so they don't all fall to the bottom.
For the date, I have made a feature out of the number printed on this bit
of Simple Stories paper that I trimmed to fit inside the album inserts.

To make your own frame, simply trace the shape onto some tracing/baking paper
Then place the traced shape onto a paper of your choice, and cut out.
Mount with foam tape.
This is what it looks like when opened...

For my final day I wanted to echo the notion of gift giving and have hence, 'wrapped' my last page!
It's a bit tricky to explain exactly how I did this, hehe.
It was very easy actually: just fold in the canvas page and then measure
how much ribbon you will need roughly, by wrapping the area.
It was very easy actually: just fold in the canvas page and then measure

Make it neat by threading the ribbon through the actual canvas itself.
1. Measure how wide your ribbon is.
2. Cut two slits in the canvas as shown below
3. Now thread your ribbon through the slits
This is what it looks like when opened...
If you are going to be making one, be sure to tag us,
we would so love to see your creations!
Till next time!
