My December Daily Album 2012 ...

I decided a month or so ago to do a December Daily again this year.

Last year I bought a kit from Studio Calico and while it was very good this year I decided against the kit they had for sale as it was a bit pricey.

So I just ordered some bits and pieces from their store to make up my own "kit".

I started with this album that I painted with white Gesso.

Then I filled in the "today" with an embossing pen and embossed with red powder.

Powder: http://www.studiocalico.com/shop/embossing-powder/rouge-zing-opaque

After that I decorated the cover with bits from the Studio Calico October and November kits that I had.

The spine is decorated with red and white twine and 3 bells.

So far for the inside I have cut some cardstock for pages and decorated them a little with red and green washi tapes and I have cute little number banners using my Silhouette Cameo to use for the days.

For the title page I have cut "hello December" a file by Loni Stevens in the Silhouette store.

And a couple of the pages so far ...

The font I used with my Silhouette Cameo is Honey Script, a free one I found online.

Jack

Jack and I have been in Adelaide since Saturday for the Bank SA Country Carnival Under 12 Cricket.

He has been having lots of fun playing cricket! So far there has been 2 days of 2 20/20 matches each day. The Eyre Peninsula team that he is in has won 3 out of 4 of the matches. Today is their first one day match :-)

Catch up with some photos ...

The other night Rohan and Hannah came inside and said "come and look at our fairy ring" ...

How could I be cross ... so cute :-)

This weekend we have been at Coffin Bay and yesterday we loaded up 4 vehicles and headed to Gunyah in the hope of getting our quota of cockles for this summer's bait ... sadly we didn't bring any home ... one person managed 15 I think and that was it!

But we had a great walk on the beach and the kids had fun, just a bit scary getting to and back from Gunyah!

Then we had a long lunch into dinner with friends ... enjoyed some of this although this bottle was in the freezer a little too long so we had a little bit of BillieCart slushie :-)
