December Daily Cover

I finally decided on my cover, pretty simple design. I've had the 25 bling stickers and the star charm forever, I knew they would come in handy some day! I painted the Studio Calico tree with silver glitter nail polish (yup!). A room FULL of crafty supplies and I used nail polish. I had EVERY.OTHER.COLOR. of embossing powder that you could ever imagine, except silver! That's definitely being added to my shopping list!

 

 

I sprayed the cover with a few different mists to add some shine. The first one I tried left spots :'(, but they aren't that visible anymore!

 

I ordered some Black Cherry Staz On today, as soon as that's delivered, I will do the spine and the inside cover. I think I am going to copy directly from Ali's spine and inside, since I like hers and I need to get moving!!!

 

 

Wow!

I can't believe it's been a month since my last post. Life is flying by!
I've been getting crafty a bit but not making much time to share I guess.
Our tree is up, the house is decorated, Christmas cards are done. Still lots of shopping to tackle!
Starting new traditions with my son. Making memories that I hope will stay with him into adulthood.
New things we've started this year:
Elf on The Shelf
Karen Foster Advent Calendar Box
We are also doing a Christmas Book Countdown in addition to the Advent Box, an idea I read on Ali Edward's blog.
I really just want to make the most of the Christmas Season with Luke and have these fun traditions that he can look forward to from year to year.
I'm also doing a December Daily this year, which has been fun, but of course I am behind. Hope to share some of those photos soon.
I've been following Tim Holtz's 12 Tags of Christmas, and although I didn't really use any of the techniques he's gone over, this tag is certainly inspired by his posts in the past week.
The tag is from Creative Cuts and More, check out the website for all your diecut needs!

Ali Edwards December Daily Album

I am super excited to work on this project. I finally found something that I want to do BEFORE it starts! I have been reading all of the Q & A on her blog and trying to decide what I want to use. Hopefully I will actually work on putting the album together soon. I have to order the album I want to use and wait for it to come first, but in the meantime I am gathering all of my goods :) SO excited about this :)
