Here it is the completed December Daily
It will be treasured amongst my Christmas decorations and is about to be put away until next year!
The cover is misted
(looks a bit pink here but it is more red in real life)
Used some alphas as
a mask for the 'christmas' word - gathered some vintage sparkly fabric and
gathered it and added the leaf ribbon, deers, used some beading and added some
prima vines.
I'm really thrilled how it turned out especially in the
Prima Canvas Album.
Its probably a little bit too big in comparison to my smaller
cardboard and paper one last year which was quicker to get each page done...
but.... on the otherhand - working with the canvas pages and plastic sleeve
pages has given opportunity for much scope and varied fun creative-wise!!
Having said that - next years will be smaller!! LOL!
And the Dec 1st - was my Art Class - where I've been doing lino cut and prints,
and this one has been used for my Christmas cards this year. I'm not sure yet
how I'll do the inside cover of my DD, I'll look at that when all the pages are
completed. Ugh the colour is off for some reason... probably the crappy stormy
weather we are having - hopeless for photographing in! The bird print is maroon
- not purple and the '1st is supposed to be dark gray!
Getting the make-up and costumes ready
Theatre preparation- thats my busy little
desk!
Performing - Paige as a Pirate and Mrs
Darling
Hannah as Capt Hook
Hannah performing with the adults, and Paige
with the children
for the 50th Anniversary Gala of our Musical
Society
Paige's 14th birthday
Hannah's very loved piano teacher
Poor Cosmo - went
to the vet and on antibiotics... and had a saline flush through!
He's looking a bit
better now. (he's 18yrs)
Trimming the Tree!
Paige had a violin concert and Nan came to
visit
Hannah and Paige
with their wonderful singing teacher.
They have been
learning from her for about 8 years now.
Their last singing
concert for the year.
I added in more
pages by gluing extra pages onto the canvas to flap open.
The day I made up a heap of more cards and this is a flapped
open page!
Thought my kitchen looked rather festive so took a pic!
this is the top of the extra glued in page.
Couldnt go without adding in a page of my finches
Presents for my friends at Art Class and the last class for
the year.
My dd delivering her bound thesis to the uni!
Meaghan's Graduation - waiting to go in
and afterwards we called into friends place where Paige was
quite taken with their little puppy!
Paige performs in her last Christmas Concert and
later we had two BBQ's to attend
Here the girls are opening their presents in a
big swap we do among the parents and kids.
Not forgetting our sweet Blackie - who is a big
scaredy-cat!
And our very ancient Cosmo who is feeling very much his age at
the moment
It was to be his last (his 18th) with us, heartbreakingly passing away two weeks later.
Done and completed!
