2012 holiday book / update three.

Holiday3

see update one & update two.

Holiday3a

Kind of a mini update from these last few days. I wanted to share more candle photos and some text about "candle night" traditions on the red scalloped card.

Holiday3b

My dad texted me a photo of their house all set up for a Christmas party with candles and I loved sharing both in the book. Pretty fun to see where I "get it from."

Holiday3detail

I used more of those little Studio Calico stickers to designate "E&P" and "M&D" on the photos.

Holiday3c

Then a simple spread of some bread I made over the weekend (I never got a good photo of it!). More label stickers used here to share text.

Holiday3d

And the last spread of this update - I used the little envelope in the book to hold list of the gifts we are giving this year. I sealed the envelope with washi and glitter tape from Freckled Fawn. I've definitely left more paper "blank" this year. I'm happy to just let the various patterns decorate the book.

Keeping it simple...

Supplies used : holiday mixed paper book, Freckled Fawn tape, Martha Stewart & Avery label stickers, Studio Calico stickers, Basic Gray for Studio Calico letter stickers, silver gelly roll pen, Zig Millennium pen.

I make stuff like it's my job.

In October 2019, my book about getting stuff done, Big Dreams, Daily Joys hit bookstores everywhere. For almost ten years, this blog was where I shared (daily!) general life musings, insight into being a small business owner and the occasional craft project. I have closed comments, but feel free to email me at elise[@]elisejoy.com if you have any questions about a post you see here.
