my december daily album

Thanks for your emails and thoughts about the video Collin made of Lola's birth. Wow, what a treasure for our family! I am in awe at the stories he tells through his videos. I know you've seen his outrageous humorous side so it was neat to share his serious side.

The morning of Lola's birth we were at the hospital at 5 am and I will never forget how he distracted me from the contractions by keeping me laughing and entertained. Until my water broke about 2:30 pm-then it wasn't fun and games anymore.

But enough baby talk for now... how about we chat about the crazy fact that tomorrow is December 1st. 25 days until Christmas? Don't panic. Wait, I haven't bought a single present and have no idea where to start... start panicking! ;)

This year we are definitely keeping it simple. Our tree is up and decorated, stockings are hung & we are bribing the kids to be good if they want Santa to come. heehee. I'm not pulling out all the boxes of decorations but I am going to keep up with my December Daily album.

It's an album to record memories and journaling for each day of the month inspired by Ali. The cover uses my Dear Lizzy Christmas line and I am excited to use more of it through out the inside!

The inner pages of my album are using the Christmas Art Journal kit from Evalicious that I love.
Some of my Dear Lizzy products above. Quincey loves the felt gingerbread man, I love the rose brads and I know you will love the rose ribbon with a little bling in the center.

For the cover I adhered some of my Dear Lizzy lace paper to a handmade chipboard cover with modge podge. Then I painted white paint on it because I wanted a bit of texture.

Supplies:

Dear Lizzy Christmas: Flower Stickers, string of lights Sticker, Rose Ribbon, Felt Details, Metal Rose Brads, Vintage Music Notes Paper, Lace Paper, Glitter Letters

Echo Park: Red Dot
