December Daily 2013 - Day Two


http://aliedwards.com/december-daily
Not much going on around here today. Still haven't gotten around to decorating. Still have to unpack and clean and go grocery shopping and clean, and clean some more. I feel like there's a million things to do, and we all know this month will fly by. :(

After work, Taylor and I went to Hobby Lobby for some plastic ornaments for my class. I LOVE HOBBY LOBBY. Like seriously, what did I do before Hobby Lobby. There is so much to see and so much that I want. Even the wrapping paper aisle had me in awe.

Here's my spread for day two:

 Left page:
3x3 photo of what I bought. Couldn't just get the ornaments of course. Had to get some wrapping paper (you see the chevron right!) and some ornament kits I want to make with Taylor. Oh, and lets not forget that sparkly gold, silver, and red paper which the photo doesn't even show! :)

Right page:

Some journaling, my receipt, and a 3x4 photo of that wrapping paper aisle. That love ornament I cut with the silhouette came as a digital cut file with the December Daily kit.

I apologize for the terrible photo quality. I couldn't photograph my album during the day because I went on a field trip, but I plan on posting every day on my lunch break. :)

December Daily 2012 - Day Four

 Tonight, we trimmed the tree. Trevor and I decided to do it after Taylor went to bed. As we hung his new ornament, a football he chose himself, I couldn't help but imagine what next year will be like. If he'll be able to help us or not. I'm very anxious to see Taylor's reaction tomorrow, when he sees the lights and ornaments on the tree. For the past few days, he hasn't really payed much attention to the bare tree. Here's my left page:  Testing out some lights I had from last year, which we couldn't use because half the strand was out. Here's my right page:  The finished tree. Too bad my photos don't do it justice. I gotta learn how to take better pictures of lights and ornaments on the tree.  I also included a 2x4 insert with the before tree with just the lights on the front,  and the after tree all done and loaded with ornaments, old and new. I just love it! (I apologize for my horrific nails!) Here's my Day Four spread in my

December Daily 2012 Foundation Pages

It's that time of year again! Last year I embarked on this incredible project for the first time, and I loved it! I've been looking forward to this all year, and now December is almost here! I'm finally done with my album, with the exception of the cover. Not sure what I want to do with that just yet. The foundation pages are ready to go! Every day is basically going to be a 2 page spread, like this: With some overlays thrown in here and there. Here are my foundation pages. A lot of them are super simple because the pages will really come together once the photos are added. And there you have it! Come on December! December Daily is an idea from Ali Edwards. It's a scrapbook to document every day in December leading up to Christmas. It's essentially one story a day. You can check out her 2012 December Daily here an

December Daily 2012 - Day One

Welcome to December Daily 2012. The day I've waited for all year is finally here! I enjoyed this project so much last year, and I'm ready to go again. We did a lot on this first day of December, including shopping for lights, getting the decorations down from the attic, walking around the neighborhood, and Trevor putting up the lights on the outside of the house, but the story I was most excited for was buying a real tree this year. It reminds me of my childhood. We found a really good one too! Here is the left page, one large photo of Taylor at the Tree lot:   And here is the right page:  A picture of our little family in front of our tree. :) I used a 4x6 overlay created by Ali Edwards, found here . The word tree is a digital brush by Ali, which can be purchased on Designer Digitals . Above that I used some washi tape, and Dear Lizzy letter stickers that were included in the Studio Calico December Daily kit. Here's what day one looks like in my album: One d
