December Daily 2015 | Days 3 + 4 + 5 + 6.

December 3rd | Hey guy's today I am sharing my DD again and we are starting here with Day 3. The main story of today was that I purchased our Starwars tickets online pre-ordered for a later date in December for me and Ethan. The excitement once I picked him up and told him that we are going to STARWARS - He was more than thrilled to know I bought our tickets.

I used The number three card from the AE DD kit. Attached a stamped strip and wood veneer that I stamped on with Staz-on ink. 

I used the back of that 3x4 card adhered back to back + punched holes in again, I like the loose cards out of pockets. This "Ah Yeah" Card is also from AE DD kits. Date stamped and journaled with sharpie pen. 

December 4th | Full view of these day's together and to the right I went straight into day four's story again using a kit card as the divider + wood tree veneer but also included a metal rim tag that I adhered pattern paper and a cork number four to it made the top hole a little bigger and placed in the album rings.

The flip side of the 3x4 pattern card I adhered this Paislee press card from DD past kit's Stamped + journaled + gold heart stapled on. 

Story of today hanging out with Ava. 

Flip side of the 4x6 photo of Ava I adhered this photo I took of the Ornaments I was looking through to see which ones we were going to out on the tree and which ones that Ava wanted to put on her tree. I used a pattern paper trimmed up into 3x4 and journaled our story in pencil.

December fifth | Flip to the pink pattern paper I adhered this LLP freebie and a veneer # 5. on the 3x4 card. 

I Love this day, The hunt for our Family Christmas tree. I added this 4x6 one of Ava running down the rows of trees looking for the right one. 

Flip side of the 4x6 is the photo I always take at this tree lot, and always love it in the albums. To the right I took the receipt of our tree and stapled it to the vellum paper underneath it and used another LLP paper card journaled with pencil again. 

You can see here that I made that vellum 3x4 card with the receipt on it as a divider almost then placed a photo of Ava by the huge snowman in the left side 3x4 page protector pocket. 

December sixth | Our story today was us going to our annual holiday Skate at the MTS centre. We all look forward to this event every December! 

Using the number card from the AE DD kit again.

The flip side of that 3x4 number card I wanted to tell more story here so I typed it up in PS and then printed it out on cardstock. 

Flip side of the 4x6 photo of me and kiddos is the kiddos and the official NHL mascot Micky Moose. Ava was pretty pleased that we got another photo with him this year. 

This wraps up 3 + 4 + 5 + 6 of the book and honestly I am more into this book than past years maybe it was the approach? Maybe I am just really more aware of how fast these years are going and how different things will look again in a few years. Thanks for reading again.

December Daily 2015 | Days 1+ 2

Hi Guy's I am finished my December daily 2015 Album, and although it's now February ... it feels so good to have waited, to take a slower approach, and to really enjoy these days as they were gathering all the stories and then making this album. I also welcomed this approach after two days of documenting and sharing here, I stoped on day 3 as I had a change of heart with my album size ... out of no where. 

Go with the flow, I didn't want to "forget" this project as it sat on my work table but I didn't want to put day to day on the back burner either, I wanted to be present, as these days came and to be honest my working on this book long after December was surprisingly very enjoyable. Remembering your stories either as they are in present or later on as long as they are told. Here is our story of December 2015 ... 

Opening page here I used a large wood veneer about 3 x 3.5 in size from Michaels craft store during their holiday ornaments display. I Adhered it to the transparent pattern page from one of my Beautiful mess kits (cut down from larger size). I love how this starts the album off with a great reminder. 

Here is the next page I took that "cheers" clear embelishment and adhered it to another clear circle transparent page & adding in another round photo at the bottom. 

Here is what it looks like on the flip side. 

I wanted to add in some thoughts before starting off this book, I added an AE "stories matter to me because" brush at the top page then typed out my December thoughts. Wood veneer added.

December 1st | Here we go day one of this month and today was spent with coffee (like all good days do) & putting up the kiddos trees in their rooms. I took a Instax photo of Ava's tree in her room and paper clipped it to the 3x4 card. 

Here you can see the other side of that 3x4 on the left showing the date, on the right is a 4x6 of Ava's tree in her room. Adding in tag and AE stamp on side, stapled with tiny attacher.

On the other side of Ava's tree photo is the 4x6 of our Advent Santa and a 3x4 photo of Ava's drawing of Santa. She made this drawing I scanned it into my computer and in PS made it into 3x4 printed on photo paper. 

On the other side of Ava's drawing I adhered this calendar from the DD kit. adding a wood veneer tree. Then I added in another 4x6 transparent circle paper with this tag (I found this designer on pinterest will look up the link). Added the baker's twine black and white and tiny attacher staple.

This page leads us into Day Two. 

On the flip side of that tag page I added another tag on the back .

December 2nd | I used the 3x4 number card and punched holes in the cards stitching it to another 3x4 card first. AE stamp tag on the side. 

On the flip side of the 3x4 card I adhered Ethan's photo from the shoot I did with the kiddos for our family cards, They were good sports about it. Adhered with my tape runner found here & again punched the holes right in the photo. In between these photo's I put another transparent page with wood veneer tree ( spoiler - you will see a lot of these ). 

LOVING all the LAYERS that this album is building. 

Clear divider.

Same thing here for Ava taking her 3x4 photo and punching holes right through the photo paper. Tag on the side.

On the flip side of Ava's photo I wanted to add in some space for journaling - the story of today. To the right is a 4x6 of how my custom cards turned out made with AE brushes in PS and ran through my printer at home. 

So far that wraps up December 1 & 2. I will be sharing more tomorrow. thanks for reading! For more info on December Daily you can check out Ali Edwards (AE) here. 

Cheers!

Document our life. Here are the photo's.

December Daily ....

Oh December daily we love you so very much, This amazing documentation process is almost upon us again & this weekend while cleaning my home office & creative space from moving it from the sunroom I re-read all my DD albums that's 2010, 2011, 2012, 2013 ... Wait what this will be my fifth year!? The time ... the years are moving so fast and I LOVE that I kept up with this project & to see all the magic that December brings to my family as we are constantly changing and growing from year to year. 

First pages of all four DD albums, I can see how I change as a documentor. I love each of these books for their own reasons. 

I can not wait to get at that prep stage for this year 2014 ... But first it's wrap up WITL and get my Project Life up to date.
