December Daily (Shabby Chic Crafts giveaway)

Last night I put together the cover of my December daily album under the lights of the Christmas tree. For some reason, I felt it was more important to create in the right ambiance than being able to actually see my project clearly. But it was fun and I guess that's all that matters right?
I first saw the concept of having an album ready to capture each day of the month from Ali Edwards blog. It's such a great idea to have the pages ready to go since December is usually a busy month as it is. I have a page for each day then all I'll need to do is add a little embellishing, photos & journaling. The journaling, for me, is the best part. There's so much to write about when it comes to this magical holiday... our traditions, memories from when I was a girl, our simple everyday moments or how Avery reacts to all the fun. Last Christmas, I was happily working on my book that I couldn't focus too much on my album; but I did do some pages & used the remaining spots to hold the Christmas cards we received. You can see it in the December issue of Creating Keepsakes magazine.
Two things made it easier for me this year:
First, there's a super cute art journal etsy shop online called, Evalicious. Eve he puts together a unique assortment of paper, cards, envelopes, ribbons, stickers, buttons etc. She does all the hard work for me. The Art Journal kit also includes a list of journaling ideas and lots of goodies.
The second one is Shabby Chic Crafts. Veronica has a fabulous online shop full of tags and journaling spots that are perfect on pages and mini albums. I used one of her tags below to hold the "25 days of magic" title.

I am so excited to work on this each day... Are you playing along too? Maybe you need a jump start... Leave a comment to win your own stash of 68 tags!

Are you local in Utah? Don't forget about the "52 more Scrapbooking Challenges"
Book Party this Thursday.

I went to see my daughter's Kinderdance class tap dance in a Holiday show tonight - I turned to my niece and said, "I am going to do something festive every day this month - I really want to cherish each day and celebrate each day!"

ZoezMom said...

I wasn't going to join in on the December Daily until yesterday hit. I'm not sure if it was the magic of Dec. 1 or if I just finally got the right inspiration. I dug through my basket of little albums and found one that would work. I bound my blank pages, also by the Christmas tree, and will work on adding some papers and whatever else inspires me today.

Artic Girl said...

Hello Lizzy,
Just wanted to let you know that I love getting your blog updates sent to my e-mail account. Thank you for reminding me about the holiday journal(I remember the one Ali E. did - and loved it!). Being a busy hockey mom of 3 boys I tend to get wrapped up in the day to day needs of my family. Thank you for reminding me how important it is to take a moment to capture our family in the day to day moments - especially this time of year! It's been hard getting into the holiday spirit for me this year but now I'm going to turn that around and get my boys involved in keeping our "Family Holiday" journal! Thank you for the inspiration on a day that I really needed it!
Forever Grateful,
Shan
P.S.
Love the tags by Shabby Chic! What a generous giveaway!
