Day 1. December Daily

December 1 is the beginning of Summer here in Australia. I love December weather for its warm days and that the humidity not as bad as in the latter weeks of summer.

Today hubby and I started a big clean up of things we need to sell. It's amazing what you find when you clean up. I found Jack the Pirate Elf (a pirate beanie bear that travelled with us when we were sailing). He became an Elf one December and got up to similar mischief that the Elf on the Shelf Elves get up too. I thought it might be fun to bring him out again this year.

A recap of my cover page front and back. I used goodies from my stash, some from The Stamp Spot Documenting December kits, WRMK Teresa Collins Instagram kit, transparencies from Studio Calico and Hambley Screen Prints, wood veneers from Studio Calico and Freckled Fawn.

Cover page under the 'hello' sequin pocket. The 3x4 sequin pocket was made by Michelle from the Stamp Spot. I added a 'hello' from Freckled Fawn which I coloured with a red Sharpie and added Glossy Accents to. The alpha stickers are from Teresa Collins Tinsel and Co.

Back of the cover page. Some digital elements from Ali Edwards plus transparencies from Hambley Screen Prints, cork stickers from Studio Calico.

Here is my Day 1 for December Daily.

I managed to get a photo of the 3 of us - a fairly rare occurrence these days !! The tree is from the Very Merry Christmas kit from Freckled Fawn. It is made from cork - I heat embossed it with Gold Zing and backed it with some teal glitter cardstock to show through in the stars.

Secret Santa for Jacob's class all wrapped and delivered.
Jack is back !! As mentioned above, Jack the Pirate Elf made an appearance a few years back. As my son is 14 he is probably a little old for the Elf on the Shelf tradition which I found out about only a few years ago. Jack was one of his toys from his early days and was a bit of a mascot for us when we were living on the yacht and sailing (we lived on a yacht for 10 plus years until 18 months ago). I'm actually looking forward to seeing what mischief Jack gets up to this year!!

Thanks for stopping by and having a look. I will be linking up to Ali Edwards December Daily posts on her blog.
