I knew when I opted for the 8.5x11 page for Day 1 that the backside of the page would be a great place holder for my oldest son's band concert program. I chose to use it as the "background" of the left side of the spread.
To dress it up a bit (because, really, that green is ugly) I die cut an 8.5" wide title using my Silhouette and this design by Loni Stevens from the Silhouette store:

I adhered it to a 2.5" wide strip of vellum that I added a couple of stamped borders to using Ali Edwards stamps (linked below in the supplies). I used Daisy White ink from Close To My Heart. It's my favorite white ink.
The cute little birdie is a Dear Lizzy rub-on.
I stapled the border in place with the Tiny Attacher.
The right side of the page is one of the 5x5 & 2x5 sheet protectors.
The 2x5 x 2x5 side is where I added my journaling for the day. Adhered my stamped date circle there as well.
I used the 2x5 pockets on the "inside" of the page for photos. I also replaced one of the 5x5 sheets of patterned paper with another photo.
I hadn't intended to share more photos of our nightly reading of Christmas books but Payton picked A Winter Tale by Robert Sambuda (an amazing work of art) and I just had to include some photos.
I really love the interactive feature of this page.
And that is our December 2nd. A fabulous wonderful December day. I can't believe how wonderful this experience has been so far. Pre-planning makes all the difference. So much less work and so much more memory-making. :)
