december daily {days 8&9}

12.8.11

on this day Lydia & I met Dan for lunch & a quick trip to the grocery store.  it seems I have tons of photos of Lydia, but not too much of the boys... need to work on that.  she's my constant companion right now since she is home with me unless she's at preschool, so many pictures get taken of her i guess!

12.9.11

on this day, we just didn't seem to have much going on, so i printed out some photos i took in late November right after i put up the tree.  we decorated early because my parents were heading to Texas Thanksgiving day & we were hosting an early Thanksgiving/Christmas/Anniversary party with the family.  I still want our holiday decor to be part of the album, so I think I'll add in photos like this in on "slow" days.

december daily {days 6&7}

12.6.11

on this day we had our first real snow that stuck. i always love the first snow, it just makes everything look magical on our property.  i took this photo with my phone out of one of my office windows.

of course Lydia had to get out in it immediately, no matter how cold!  i probably spent 10 minutes getting her ready & she spent about 3 outside. lol. just long enough to make a snow angel {which she's been talking about for weeks} & to stomp around & touch it with her bare hands {which, in turn, made her want to come inside...}.  i'm a real wimp in the cold & the snow wasn't good for snowmen, so I watched from the porch.

here's a look at the spread.  i really have no rhyme or reason if I put photos on the front of the base page for the day... just if it looks right i guess.

on this day, as i came back from taking Lydia to school, I was just sort of overcome by how beautiful our setting was around our home, especially with the snow covering things.  I also loved how the boys footprints were at the end of the driveway from them walking to catch the bus that morning.  I stopped the truck on my way in the driveway to catch the photo.

then, when i had parked in the driveway i noticed the sun coming up over the buildings in our back yard & in the distance it was sort of hazy... just beautiful.  I'm so happy I caught this.  I love where we live...

new releases 12.8

I have a few new releases today!  I'm excited to start bringing a few new things into the mix as we come to the end of the year.  I've been working on adding in printable journaling cards into my kit lineup as I'm working on my own December daily plus this... which I've decided to jump into in 2012 as well...

yep. that's right. I've ordered the Project Life page protectors, bought an album & I'm REALLY excited to get started.  I've had so many ideas over the last few weeks when we're doing things... things I would save of the kids or things that have been said that would go perfectly in the project life album. I think it should be fun & hopefully I can keep up!  Anyway, that's led me down the path to start creating journal cards to fit just right into the page protectors for it... but they can also be used in digital work or hybrid too!  I hope you like them...

this kit comes with printable .pdf & .jpg files + the .png files so you can set up a printable page to your liking OR use them digitally!  some are specific to the holidays, but I've also tried to include ones that could be used year round as well.

in my previous post you can see several in my december daily & here how Allison used one in hers as well! 

& to coordinate...

the paper & elements!  The elements have all the journaling cards from the journaling cards pack in .png format + a few more goodies like snowflakes, mists, buttons & stitching.  you can also get the full kit {paper+elements} here.

check out this cute print Shannon made with the papers...

this awesome layout from Shelley...

& these adorable digital december daily pages Jennifer is working on...

& this fun layout by Celeste...

I'm loving working my digital designs into my paper scrapbooking.  So fun to see how well the "cross over".  Hope you love them too :)

remember you can pick them up today for 30% off too!

Happy December!

can you believe it? of course december with young kids in the house is the most anticipated month of the year, so we've been getting lots of updates from our 4 year old about it :)  Evan {9} woke up this morning & told his dad "happy december"! Which in turn, sent Lydia into MERRY CHRISTMAS month!!! lol.  unfortunately I've failed once again at getting an advent calendar together for the kids, but I may hurry & get a few things together today yet... maybe it will be an evening or after school suprise?

one thing I've been working on for december is my december daily {made oh so famous by miss ali edwards}.  this is my first year doing it {I'm not counting last year when I made a measly 3-4 digi pages}.  I started mine around thanksgiving, rounding up papers & elements from my older paper stash & my newest papers from My Mind's Eye & also some of my digi products that I printed out!

i started out putting together my cover. i made it pretty simple with some of my kraft funday elements, more may be added later, who knows. I modified a chipboard book cover i had bought last year when i bought my zutter.  i'm using binder rings to hold everything together.

i than went through my papers i had picked out & cut them to 5x7" {some may be different} & backed ones that didn't suit me. this is a partial lineup.

then i started with my number pages... i'll add in extra pages each day as needed.  i'm anticipating them being mostly plain kraft with photos & embellishements added as i like.

there's my peeks at my pages. i'll try to keep up with the blog & post my pages as much as i can.  i'm trying to make this as stress free as possible on myself & i've already decided that i'm probably going to be taking most of my pictures with my iPhone.  it just is always there & i've gotten so much better at documenting the everyday stuff because of it... that makes me happy. 

i've got my workspace all cleaned up & ready to go this morning... can't wait to get started!

are you joining in?
