I have decided to give it a go, again... I'm not sold this is a wise idea but, I am not one to give up. I got a good way into last year, perhaps this will be my year. I decided simple has got to be the way the go so I started out as I mean to move forward: with a simple yet colorful title page.
A digital template was involved in the creation of this giant shaker shape as my title page. It truly is simple. Yet effective. Or, I think so anyway. It doesn't need much more and let's the star shine!
I used "Oh What Fun" sequins from SpiegelMom Scraps and my Fuse for this along with patterned paper from the Crate Paper "Falala" collection. The "yellow" is actually a matte gold that I had. I like the yellow'ish look and will try to incorporate more of that into the book to add more than the tradition green and red.
The process video is a bit of a tutorial offering you tips and tricks on using your Fuse. I invested in the Fuse mat and it has made a world of difference for me! A glass mat works nicely but the Fuse mat works even better. The glide of the tool is much more even thus providing a cleaner, more consistent seal.
This will be one of the pockets in the book. As I haven't made much head way in setting up foundation pages, I don't know what day this will appear. I only today found the album I want to use. I'm bummed that Simple Stories SNAP albums aren't readily available at Michaels like they used to be. Instead I found this recipe album at TJ Maxx that has 3 rings. I will continue to use the Simple Stories divided page protectors, I am just going to have to re-punch them to the format of my binder. A good excuse to buy the WRMK planner punch board thingy, don't you think?!
The sequins I used for the "O" wreath in Noel is also from SpiegelMom Scraps and called "Shabby Chic Christmas". I love the aqua wood grain in this! Just sublime! The digital cut file is something I made myself specifically for this purpose. Come back later this week and see how I used that same file on a scrapbook layout!
If you have any December Daily tutorials or other things you would like to see, do comment either here or on my YouTube channel and I will see what I can do! I have had such fun with my Fuse and sequins lately!
Are you doing December Daily? Are you all set up, ready to go? I can't believe tomorrow is December 1st!
Thanks for stopping in! Take care!
