{dec 15th} christmas countdown mini

December 15th was a simple day spent mostly at home with Ryan, except for a little errand running.  I bought a cappuccino to keep me warm while we were out : )

   

 Another wood veneer speech bubble was used, but this time layered inside my espresso cup lid. I also layered some of the Crate Paper clear frames on each page to add in the red perimeter stripe.  Since I wanted to add in more than just journaling, I created a flap by creasing a 1/2 inch from a strip of paper to layer over the journal card.  Then I attached only the creased strip with my tape runner.

 

 

 On top of the flap is a piece I cut from my cappuccino cup, the crate paper clear frame (attached with my stapler), a chalkboard index tab, and a photo of myself. I was mixing patterns and colors this day that I liked, and want to remember the combo.

   

 My book is getting nice and chunky, and I already enjoy looking through it. Next up, my last post of the day Dec. 16th. XO
