December Daily 2019

My December Daily is finished and I am excited to show you a flip through. This year I used an old book from a thrift store for my album. I learned how to make it from Maggie Holme's tutorial. Instead of removing the pages, you cut them down to short pieces and then add your own pages to both sides. 

 I used my cutting board/ plastic trimming tool to trim the pages off. This worked really well and also left the pages a little "torn" looking which I liked. 

Here are some of my favorite pages:

Here's my flip through video. Thanks for watching! 

October Mini Album

The final project I made with the Crate Paper Hey Pumpkin line is my October mini album. I used white card stock paper and rings to create this. The pages are 5 1/2 by 7 inches. Scroll down to see some of my favorite pages. Link to flip through video at the bottom of post.

Life Crafted

I had so much fun making the first 2 spreads in my Citrus Twist Life Crafted album. I want my album to be a mix of traditional pages in their sleeves, and also interactive pages. The Life Crafted album is perfect because you can creatively document your life in different ways.

My 6 year old was soo excited to lose his front tooth. It left quite the big hole in his cute smile, and deserved a layout. The kit this month was perfect for this because it had that "Big Life Change" card and that "New Chapter" stamp. 

For the interactive page on the right, I used white cardstock to make 8 rectangles, folded them in half, and glued them on. Then I got to add photos and embellishments to each fun flap. This is one of my favorite things to make with paper! 

The next spread in my Life Crafted album is all about READING. The theme of the kit is obviously what inspired me to make this. 

The pocket on the left is filled with pull out slips of paper including each of our favorite books. I think they will be so fun to look back on in a few years. 

The page on the right includes an instax pic of my son Radley reading his favorite Wimpy Kid book. That Library Borrower's Card is my favorite!  

 I hope you get lots of scrapbooking time in today!  

                                             

December Daily 2018

I absolutely loved making a December Daily again this year. 

It's finished and I'm excited to share it with you. 

It turned out to be quite big so I changed my smaller rings out for big ones. It made a huge difference. 

 Here is a look at my last 6 December Daily mini albums. Each year seems to get chunkier. 

My favorite project of the year!

I used my typewriter quite a bit for journaling and style. 

This tree made up of different elements is one of my favorites. I plan to make a bigger one for my scrapbook album soon! 

 Here are a few of my favorite pages:

 The bottom pocket is filled with fake little snow balls. I love how it turned out. 

Interactive elements are a must! Like lifting flaps.

 I love the little shaker pocket with gold stars inside. 

 I made this collage on my phone with PicFrame. 

 These little flaps hold several pictures and journaling underneath. 

I cut the Grinch out of an Amazon box. 

Working on my December Daily.
