creashens has an adorable new kit in the store today! I used it to scrap about my hopes for Christmas (… only 5 days to go now!!). I am so in love with all the hand-drawn elements and the pretty tape in this kit!

Are you having a white Christmas? 🙂

Whoops I am a few days late with this post but it’s just been a crazy week. Here are Days 1-4 of my December Daily.

On day 1 I took a picture of our four advent calendars. 🙂 Our elf reminded us to open the advent calendars this day (he’s leaning back and pointing to the calendars, and not sleeping like DH thought! ;)).

I am using vellum numbers by Crate Paper to mark the days this year. I layered a punched snowflake and gold numbers to identify our advent calendars.

In the second spread I have four days (part of day 1 and days 2, 3, and 4).

Here are the details.

I’m up on the write.click.scrapbook blog today with an update on my DD album. I will be posting more detailed photos here tomorrow, but in the meantime here’s a look at my cover and intro page.


How’s your December Daily album coming along? 🙂
I am excited to share my page for the December gallery at write.click.scrapbook! This month’s theme was holiday traditions, so of course I had to scrap our favorite one. 🙂

I had lots of fun stamping and embossing on this page! Here are a few details.




I’m a bit late in posting this, because Black Friday = putting up the tree for me! 🙂 But there are some very sweet deals to be had online today! I’ll start with a Christmas kit, since I am in Christmas mode now that the tree is up. 🙂
Seriously, isn’t this the perfect Christmas kit?? I made two tags with this gorgeous kit.

And I also made a free printable with a flattened version of both tags that is available on the Sahlin Studio blog. 🙂 Enjoy!

Check out all the sales and promotions going on at The Lilypad!
Next up, a kit by Jenn Barrette – I made a card with it,

and a page too!

Finally, a wintery kit by Mari Koegelenberg. And here’s my page – we got snow early this year!

How was your Black Friday? 🙂
Actually, today it’s one month minus one day to Christmas! I used this pretty kit by creashens that is 50% off today through Thursday to scrap the beginning of the season.
I used it to scrap a couple of snapshots of my December Daily preparations. (I haven’t done much at all, I just pulled out my Christmas supplies basically. 🙂 )

I am up on the write.click.scrapbook blog today with some December Daily advice.

Check it out to see a recap of my 2010-2012 albums, and what my plans are for this year.

Do you document your December? I’d love to hear!
I also want to share a sneak to my page for the December gallery.

Can you guess what the theme will be? 🙂
I have a couple more cards to share for my December Daily album. These are from a gorgeous Christmas collection by two of my favorite designers ever (isn’t it just awesome when they team up?? ;)), Mari Koegelenberg and Jenn Barrette.
Here are my mock pages (photos are from last year, but these cards will go in the 2013 album).
The Santa + reindeer card is totally adorable!!
As I promised, here is what I have put together so far for this year’s December Daily album using the Document Your December products at The Lilypad.

Truth be told, I have an excess of Christmas paper products already, but as soon as I saw these digital cards I knew I had to get them printed out and into my album. They are just too cute not to use!

This year I will make things simple and use a pocket page album. A Handbook album by Studio Calico to be exact. I won’t be premaking pages, but I did steal a few photos from last year’s album to show how these cards will look like in the album. 🙂

We have already gotten snow this year so I’m hoping in a whiter Christmas than we had last year.

I always love including a calendar card towards the beginning of my album.

The colors of this collection are so much fun!

These cards may very well be my favorites of the bunch.. although it’s hard to pick a favorite! 🙂

This definitely gets me even more in the mood for Christmas! Only a little over two weeks to December now..

I’ll be back tomorrow with a couple more DD things. 🙂
The new Document Your December (DYD) releases at The Lilypad have gotten me in the mood for Christmas! I have an exam tomorrow morning, so I have to keep this post short and sweet.. but I will be back tomorrow evening to show you the first printed bits for my 2013 December Daily album. 🙂 In the meantime, check out the DYD section in the store, and here’s a digi page I made.
