Happy holidays!! Today I'm talkin' all about my December Daily for 2016. If you are not familiar with the "December Daily" - might I suggest a quick stop at Ali Edwards' blog?: http://aliedwards.com/blog?tag=December+Daily%C2%AE :)
My cover page is a picture of our Christmas tree with Rachel the cat all cozy underneath. There are so many different stories I wanted to tell about this photo so I typed a bunch of journaling, printed it on a card, and tucked it behind the photo. I print my large 6x8 photos at home, but the quality isn't top notch so all the other pictures are printed at Rossman.
So chunky already and we're only 8 days in! Ack! Has anyone ever filled 2 albums for one year??? This is the biggest December album I've made and I'm really loving the larger format - more photos, bigger photos, more journaling, bigger everything!
I made a few Christmasy things here and there throughout November and am having fun figuring out how to incorporate them into my December Daily - like the stitched "JOYFUL" card. I didn't even mean for it to perfectly match Jane's sweater, how serendipitous :)
I saw this photo reel idea for sharing favorite holiday movies by @dawnnikolpl on the December Daily facebook page! Cute!!
It was actually really easy to pierce holes through the cover with a piercing needle to make the string art star! Give it a go :)
Here is a 10 minute walk through of days 1-9:
And in case you're interested, here are my albums from
2012
2014
2015
How is your December Daily comin' along?! I'd love to see!
You are AMAZING!! This looks FANTASTIC so far! LOVING that stitching and the reel ... GENIUS!!!! I only have days 1-3 done so far, I have to pick up photos from Walgreens today to work on 4-8 --- I am going a little simpler this year, I am using a Simple Stories SNAP! album ... thought it might be easier with the inserts :)
