December Daily -- Day 7

This day was interesting for me.  I have to admit that leading up to making it I was really stressing because I wasn't sure I had a story to tell.

My day was pretty darn ordinary.  However, in the end, even ordinary has a story.

I ended up taking a few more pics of my pages today cause I just liked how they turned out graphically and I wanted to show that.

I ended up really enjoying those coasters, which I totally didn't expect to like.  I ought to know better.  Always trust Studio Calico. They are wise!



Since copying Ali E has been the name of my game, I picked up the Hero Arts lowercase letter stamps .  I used those for the word 'day'. Love the clean look of these. (well except for that fact that I can't stamp cleanly to save my life, LOL)



That little red oval label is a vintage bit I've been holding onto from my grandparents belongings.  I've got a few and I'm always loathe to 'use them up' but if I don't they'll never get loved properly.

I also picked up Ali E's November Studio AE stamp set and used that for the border.  I actually finally decided to subscribe to her stamp club as I always seem to love them and they are hard to find elsewhere. As I go along I'll add other sets from the past that I like as well.





I've been trying to use up those sparkly silver thickers just so I can get them out of my hair. They have the absolute worst glue of any thickers I've ever used.  The whole package is full of them fallen off of the backing.




I really dislike my handwriting, as seen above.  Would love to have one of those hip kinds of stylized handwriting that so many designers have, but alas, I do not.  I actually have tried stylizing it a bit and, well......I think I may have finally given up.  At least I can write eh!

Oh, and if you know a good source for red label stickers, let me know, cause I don't think I can ever have enough in enough sizes to suit me.

Have a great day!

  1. Yesterday was one of those days for me. I had nothing I thought would be worth documenting, then my son had some fun with my christmas slippers and it was perfect.

    Kristina Werner suggests coating glitter with Glossy Accents to help it stop falling off. Not sure if that would work with those thickers, but thought I'd mention it.

  2. Your DD is just so lovely Ursula. I think the ordinary days are the ones that you will find most interesting in years to come. They are certainly worth recording and worthy of some of the precious stash items you included.

  7. I am totally loving your daily and embrace of AliE. I like to channel her as well. I have an ongoing love/hate relationship with thickers. The minute you open the package they explode everywhere. Nothing more annoying.

  11. Lucky #7! Nothing wrong with your handwriting - we are our own worst critic :) Can't help you on the red label stickers - maybe make some? Yes, so agree with you on those letter stickers - yucky adhesive but looks great on your page! LOL!! TGIF :)

  12. Thanks for your honesty. Since it's just my husband and myself at home now, I've felt stressed even thinking about doing a DD. What happens around here? Nothing! But I know that's not really true. I've enjoyed all your entries this week.
