December Daily 2016 | Day Two

 Love capturing the magic of giving during December.
Welcome to day two. Taylor is in Kindergarten now. And I love his school! I feel like finally, his education is legit, lol. Being in Kindergarten means new routines, experiences, and traditions. And I was so happy to find out his school was doing a toy drive. The last day to collect toys was today, Friday, December 2. So after work on Thursday, we went to Walmart to pick out a toy.
Here's the spread for day two:
I adhered another full page photo to the back of day one's. I added some stickers and a red star from Ali's Main Kit this year. The photo measures the size of the page protector. In this album, it came out to be 7.4 by 8.5.

 I love that gold foil "Merry Everything" card from the Paislee Press mini kit this year.
The journaling looks great, but came out so small! Here's what it reads:

Taylor starting Kindergarten brings 
many new experiences and traditions.
One I was happy about was a toy drive.
Today was the last day of the toy drive,
so last night we went to Walmart to
pick out a toy. Taylor was very analytical
as he searched for the perfect toy. I loved
watching his face as he scanned the aisle,
talking to himself about what the kid would
like or dislike. He was very pleased with 
his choice. 

So love this season of good cheer and joy!

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
