December Daily 2016 | Day Ten


     Today was a super busy day. We were here and there from morning until night. I wanted to document this day as an AM vs PM kind of thing, instead of one story for today.
     In the AM, we attended our city parade. It was cold but not terrible. I set up chairs and had the boys bundled up - layers, hats, scarves, and a blanket. Tanner was so cute to watch, he was waving at everyone. And Taylor, he was at the edge of the street waiting for candy. He's not as fast as the bigger kids yet, and he easily gets discouraged, but he still got a decent amount of candy.
    In the PM, we attended Taylor's friend's birthday party. It was at Inflatable Wonderland, located in the Mall. Trying to get to the Mall, with crazy traffic and limited parking, then to find the actual place within the Mall - what a mission! I wasn't even sure we should go because Taylor has always hated bounce houses. He said he still wanted to go. And it seems he got over his fear. He was jumping in all the bounce houses and zooming down the slides. Go Taylor go!!
    In the late PM, my school had Parent's Night Out. So we dropped off the boys, and went to Alamo Drafthouse Movie Theater. We like that place. We saw Office Christmas Party, and it was hilarious. Two date nights in a row! So crazy and awesome.

Here's what day ten looks like:

Left:

I really wish I had the 2x2 pocket page protectors for days like this. But this is an old album, before those page protectors existed. So I decided to create a similar look in Photoshop.

An insert:

A 4x6 photo of Taylor jumping away.

Back:

Just some patterned paper from an old DD kit.

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
