December Daily Cover Page

I finally made the cover for my album. I knew I wanted to use the hello from Freckled Fawn and the word December. I finally ended up printing the word out backwards in my red glitter paper and hand cutting it out. I would love to have a Silhouette. It would be much easier for some of the things I want to do. I machine stitched the red polka dot crepe paper and the green tulle. I added the flower, bird, and snowflakes from k&Company. I sprayed the background with the glimmer mist first. I still am not sure how I am binding the whole thing together. I know it is turning out to be much thicker than I anticipated, but that is fine.I am loving how it is coming along. I have not had as much time to work on it this week. Aidan has come down with a cold and high fever. He justs wants his momma, no one else will do. I love him and the snuggling time but will be glad when he feels better. He is demanding and I need a little break. Hope you are loving my album as much as I am.

December Daily Pages 2 and 3

I am having so much fun taking pictures and making my album! Day 2 we went to church and I had to pull out our Christmas outfits! I love shopping! I was so lucky last year to find clothes for Aidan for $2.50 a set! I found this adorable black and red two piece that matches a sweater that Brevan already had! I love amazing deals! Day 3 Lyndsey took and ornament to school for the class tree. She picked out an icicle because she wants it to snow. We have yet to get any real snow. She was so excited to pick something out from our tree to take. I really love how I got the idea to make the the red polka dot tissue border. I ruffled it with the sewing machine I need to post the video I took making it. Day 3 is a smaller page inserted. I am looking forward to stretching my creativity with each new day. I am determined to get it done before the end of December.

December Daily 2012 Day 1

Here is Day 1 of my December Daily 2012! We put up our Christmas tree. I printed out a photo collage of five pictures of the kids decorating the tree. Brevan asked to put the star on! I used ditto glimmer spray for the white background. I pulled out all of my old Christmas paper from the 20 plus years I have been scrapping. I found the perfect set from K&Co. Brenda Walton Peppermint Twist Holiday Greetings line.
I added washi tape and a star with red and black glitter letters from Making Memories. I am so glad I have kept all of my paper supplies from before I started digital scrapping. I am definitely doing both from now on. I love the feel of paper scrapping. It is soothing and therapeutic. I also used the alpha stamp from Provo Craft Circa 18 pts.

I had so much fun watching and helping the children decorate the tree. They get so happy and excited about where to place things and imagining the toys Santa will place under it. It was wonderful basking in the glow of childhood innocence. As an adult Christmas is only fun to me through the eyes of my children. I love how my page turned out and I will be posting the next days soon! I am excited about the things I have lined up to do in December!
