December Daily

I have worked on a December Daily for several years now, but have not fully completed an entire album (yet!)

I am almost finished with last year's, only a couple more days to go. This year my plan is to keep it very simple and hopefully finish by the end of December (fingers crossed!). I love looking back, even on the partially finished albums. You don't fully grasp how quickly the kids grow and how traditions change until you look back at previous years!

Here is the start of this year's album.

I haven't decided on how (or if) I am going to number my pages yet, but that can easily be added/updated later. I am already enjoying the process and am excited to keep at it!

I am using a lot of Simple Stories Cozy Christmas this year, along with a bunch of other supplies I've collected (and hoarded) in the past!

Our elves always arrive on December 1st, since we are away in West Virginia on Thanksgiving. This year they brought Christmas jammies, some peppermint sugar cookies, candy canes and an Elf on the Shelf DVD.

 

I love this gold doily, I cut it out with my Big Shot and an old die from Papertrey Ink. I never purchased the tool to help pop out the extra pieces so I rarely use this die, even though I love it so much! The "December 2014" wood veneer is from Elle's Studio and that pretty red and pink heart embellishment came as part of one of my Studio Calico kits. I believe it is by Hello Forever, and I just love Marcy Penner's designs!

 

I used the Rhonna Designs app on my phone to lighten the below photo of Luke and Nash decorating the tree. I wanted to the word art (made in Word Swag App) to stand out so I masked the photo which gave it that faded look. The holiday spirit wood veneer is from a Gossamer Blue pack that I don't even remember buying, but so glad I did!!! *giggle*

 

I'm hoping to share here throughout the month, but I'm not making any promises! Thanks for stopping by, if you have questions on any products, leave a comment. Happy December!
