<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The sun is shining and I'm feeling great. The breeze is still really fresh however I'm churning through a mountain of washing and getting that crossed off my list.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">This year I challenged myself to do weekly project life as opposed to monthly or event based which I have done previously. And how's this going for me you ask. Well... really not to bad. No, I'm not currently scrapping week 24 however I have my photos printed and in pages up to week 17. And some of those weeks have even been finished *gasp*. You'll see some haphazard posts of those weeks soon.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Today though I'm celebrating my completed Week 13 layout. Woohoo!!! Go me!!! I used the <a href="http://www.apieceofcakedesigns.com.au/current-kit/may-2015-cupcake-kit/" target="_blank">May Cupcake Kit</a> from <a href="http://www.apieceofcakedesigns.com.au/" target="_blank">A Piece of Cake Designs</a> and the colours worked perfectly, just as I knew they would.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; text-align: center;">Script writing playing with the Higgins black ink from the kit. As well as die cuts, sequins, washi and Chickandiddy striped alphas from the kit.</span><br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I created the "Hello" card by machine stitching patterned papers, punching out the Hello die cut, highlighting words with a white pen and finishing off with a brad.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I had a larger story to document this week so pulled out the trusty old typewriter for some strip journalling</span></div>
<br />

<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">My other journalling solution this week is writing directly on photos then adding stickers, sequins and die cuts. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I loved the Bella Boulevard 'Just add colour' stickers from the kit and added colour with distress markers.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Capturing the story on a two 3x4 cards with a fun title using the Bella Boulevard stickers and Chickandiddy striped alphas from the kit. I also used Marquee thickers from the kit extras section.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The kit came with 12 6x6 patterned papers from the 365 Chickandiddy crafts collection. This wood panelling one perfectly matched the wood floor in Zac's karate photo. I added another sticker from Bella Boulevard as well as some twine and one of the Doodlebug Designs doilies. </span></div>

Did I expect to win? No, not really. It's my first time of trying out for the team & mostly the experience was about just making myself do it. Frankly, I'm fabulous at deferring, putting off, finding excuses and any other kind of procrastination. So this was about pushing all that aside & just getting it done. And I did!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">To enter I needed to submit 4 pieces of work. The first a layout with a 5x7 photo. I chose a great photo of Zac just after he caught his first spanish mackeral. The fish is big and he was just so excited.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The final project was to create the cover of an art journal. I will have to add pictures of that another time as I created the art journal for one of my 13 year old nieces and have since given it to her. I will however take photos next time I see her.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">And how did I go with my entry? Well, I didn't win - as I well expected. And let me just say the girls who did - WOW. Their stuff is amazing!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I did however get an Honourable Mention and I'm pretty dang excited about that. Check out my next post for all the details.</span><br />

This is the first time I'm applying for this great DT and I'm wondering why it's taken me so long. Especially as I love the Kaisercraft collections so much. </span><br />
<div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"></span><br /></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">My first project is a layout using the Shine Bright collection.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I love</span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"> this range so much, it's so bright and fun. That yellow is just gorgeous. I added some pieces from the matching collectables to give the layout cohesiveness and created a tag from the Canary paper, embossing with the Sentiments folder. The tag is used as a base for my title. Background stamping and misting provide added texture and interest.</span></div>

<div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">This canvas started out as a greyscale succulent picture which used to hang in our old house about 8 years ago. However it doesn't fit at all with our current house so it was just perfect to be repurposed. </span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"></span><br /></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I started with gesso, then dabbed on a mint spray & white paint mix. On top of that is lots of layers of inking with bubble wrap & corrugated cardboard, stamping and stencils with texture paste and paints. </span></div>

This final layer is made up of flowers, doily, fussy cut flowers & butterflies from the All that Glitters range and All that Glitters collectables.

This layout is all about capturing Hannah's pure excitement on the flying fox for the FIRST time. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The fishing playground (nick named by the kids because part of the play equipment is a boat) has undergone a huge revamp and a double flying fox has been added. Zac saw it and was instantly beside himself. He jumped onto the platform & pretty much didn't play on anything else.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Hannah, on the other hand, had never been on the flying fox before and she was too scared to try. Instead I pushed her a THOUSAND times on the tyre swing and then, when my arms were just too sore to go on, she wore out the slide.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Eventually, I was able to coax her over to the flying fox. And after what seemed like forever, but only really a few minutes, she decided to give it a go. Zac & I helped her get on the seat and then gently let her go. Off she went. Hair flying behind her and a grin bigger than the sun. LOVED IT is an understatement. She had so much fun and was so proud of herself for being brave in giving it a go.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">And for all of that, she need her own layout. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgxuGfogM-G9gqVeTwZsRsZ9E8Y3jblvGfrrqIi0FhAjXSfLYo0t9f-rVRHJu1MV9HlREPa9X1gvWuVbZ0PC4BlQHOUp_i8Q_rgvyKZ-86gGkp3V43QnhQp5PmUK1fuEvA0oxCP1cw85uw/s1600/AT+layout.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgxuGfogM-G9gqVeTwZsRsZ9E8Y3jblvGfrrqIi0FhAjXSfLYo0t9f-rVRHJu1MV9HlREPa9X1gvWuVbZ0PC4BlQHOUp_i8Q_rgvyKZ-86gGkp3V43QnhQp5PmUK1fuEvA0oxCP1cw85uw/s1600/AT+layout.jpg" height="396" width="400" /></a></div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">For this layout I have used lots from Amy Tangerine Stitched collection. I started with the Continued paper for the base, swiping some gesso on the left side just so my photo wouldn't be overwhelmed by all that gorgeous script. I highlighted a few of the script words with watercolour paints and then added some gelato colour to the gesso.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Next I layered pieces from the other patterned papers in the collection I had - map of my heart, moments and jumble stitch - and also the fabulous die cuts. I cut some *I think 10* circles from these papers, scrunched them up for some added texture and then machine stitched them to my layout. I really wanted my stitching to be a little free & easy, however... I can be more than a little particular about straightness & evenness. So as you can imagine, haphazard stitching is a real challenge for me. But I gave it a go. 7 circles were added to the layers under the photo and 3 were added to the bottom right corner of the layout.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Time to finish it up. I attached a block from the jumble stitch paper to a kraft tag for my journalling. And then it was the pretty bits... Freckled Fawn arrow paperclip & wood veneer, Amy Tangerine foam word, MME enamel dot from the Cut & Paste collection and more of the great Amy Tangerine die cuts.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I was pretty darn excited to finish my </span><a href="http://aliedwards.com/projects/december-daily" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;" target="_blank">December Daily</a><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"> album last month. Between prepping for the album, scrapping each day as it happened and blogging about it, I was done. Love December, lurve Christmas & loved my first December Daily album, but I was pretty over looking at it come mid-January.</span><br />
<div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">And while things are still fairly fresh in my mind, I wanted to wrap up my album with a few notes to myself so that when November (kidding, really October) hits this year & I start to get all gung ho again about DD I can have a reference point. Mostly a reminder not to go <u>too</u> overboard, as per usual.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Last year I was incredibly fortunate to be selected as a Documenting December team member for <a href="http://www.thestampspot.com.au/catalog/" target="_blank">The Stamp Spot</a>. Michelle from The Stamp Spot is fabulously talented and also a wonderful person. It was such a pleasure working with her great kits. For my album I used the main kit which was gold, white & kraft. I also purchased the teal & red add-on kits. They were all divine & the quality was outstanding.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">For the album I used a <a href="http://simplestories.typepad.com/simple_stories/snp-binders-and-inserts.html" target="_blank">Snap</a>! 6x8 with a variety of pocket protectors. My trusty sewing machine also helped to alter the protectors too.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Okay, notes...</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Will I do December Daily again?</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Yes, absolutely. I loved it, however there will be some changes.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Album size...</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I'm happy to go with a 6x8 again with the pocket protectors. And that's a bonus because I have so many protectors left over! *bazinga*</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">More of...</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The stories & traditions. I got so caught up in the daily aspect that lots of the little (but oh so important) things were missed - or I just didn't have the space.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">One story/photo a day. Make them work for my album and spread it over the month.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Less of...</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Everything!!!! Hahaha. Mostly kidding. As you can see from the photo, my album is BURSTING at the seams. So this year there will be less photos, less of the daily - that stuff is for my PL which will be up to date **don't ask me how I'm doing on that!!**. Less of succumbing to my own crazy notions that I need to document it THAT day.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Will my album be less full this year?</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Unlikely!!! But the really important stuff will be in there.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Major note to self... Read this post again in October!!!</span><br />

I'm FINALLY blogging the last of my December Daily album. I finished about a month ago but haven't managed to get around to putting it up on the blog... mainly due to that little thing called life! But today I.AM.DOING.IT! </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">And I'm doing 8 days in one post so WARNING - it's going to be photo heavy - especially since we had 2 Christmas days in that time. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">A quick refresher - I was a part of the fabulous DT Documenting December for <a href="http://www.thestampspot.com.au/catalog/" target="_blank">The Stamp Spot</a>. Michelle created some gorgeous kits for this project and I used the main (gold, kraft & white) kit and also purchased the teal and red add on kits. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">And for those that have stumbled across this post and are wondering what the heck is <a href="https://aliedwards.com/projects/december-daily" target="_blank">December Daily</a> - well, it's a concept created by <a href="https://aliedwards.com/blog" target="_blank">Ali Edwards</a> with the idea being to create a special, usually mini, album dedicated to capturing the spirit of your Christmas - including traditions, special events and other memories. Be sure to check out Ali's blog for more info.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Day 19: This page protector started as 2 4x4 pockets and 1 8x2 pocket. Out came my trusty sewing machine to alter the 8x2 pocket into 4 2x2 slots which I filled with sparkly goodness from the kits. I also machine stitched on the number card to create a triangle shaker pocket - totally inspired by Michelle's kits.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">It's Day 20 & Santa has been! What??!!! I hear you ask. Well, my husband does FIFO and headed to work on the 22nd so a special request was sent to Santa and he very, very kindly agreed to visit us early. Yay!</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The balsa wood in the top pocket is from the main kit. I used a tree die cut before gold embossing the outline, adding a star sticker & also drawing gold stars with the gel pen from the kit. </span></div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Day 20 was really, really busy in my album and there was just no pocket space for journalling - even after I added a <a href="http://www.heidiswapp.com/" target="_blank">Heidi Swapp</a> mini memory album for more photos. So I solved that problem by writing on an acetate sheet with my trusty black sharpie. It took a couple of days for the ink to dry but was worth the wait.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Day 23 - our church held Christmas carols at the local winery. I know... how good is that? Right! I just love this picture of Hannah with her friend singing merrily. Hannah's job was to jingle the bells & Stephanie's was to turn the pages on the singing book - because she's at school already & can read, of course!</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">In the top left pocket, the foil came as part of the main kit. Again I used the tree die cut and then a star embossing folder. The 'joy' is from <a href="http://www.heidiswapp.com/" target="_blank">Heidi Swapp</a> was cut on my <a href="http://silhouetteaustralia.com.au/" target="_blank">Silhouette</a> from gold foil paper. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Day 25 - the standard day is here. No, Santa didn't visit twice, much to the kids disappointment. He did however swing past to collect our elf and also to leave a lovely letter for the kids. However, the day was not without presents. We celebrate lunch & dinner at my sister's and there were kids, gifts & food galore.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I used my trusty <a href="http://silhouetteaustralia.com.au/" target="_blank">Silhouette </a>again to cut the 25 from gold foil card. I created a flip card to record my journalling.</span></div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The finish... Being my first year of December Daily I wasn't quite sure just how to finish up my album. Day 25 is my last day and the last pocket is a reminder of everyone's favourite memory for December. They are all different and interestingly enough, neither of the kids actually listed presents.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">This final card uses washi, stickers & a flair from the main & teal kits. I also added a gold foil heart die cut.</span></div>

It was so great to catch up. The kids played mostly well and loved their giant sleepover in the lounge. The grown ups talked and laughed until the wee hours and drank more than a few wines. And it was genuinely great fun. However, today I'm a little less than enthused to achieve much at all. And today, more than ever, I'm grateful for those foundation pages I created in November.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I'm part of the fantabulous DT Documenting December for <a href="http://www.thestampspot.com.au/catalog/" target="_blank">The Stamp Spot</a> and am using the main, teal & red kits for my <a href="http://aliedwards.com/blog" target="_blank">December Daily</a> album. Partly due to my lack of motivation but also by my bursting at the seam album, Day 17 is a single page. And it just happens to match nicely in my album with Day 16.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Both of the cards are from the main kit - Teresa Collins Tinsel & Co range. The day card has numbers, sequins and wood veneer from the main kit. I gold embossed the star wood veneer. I also added washi from the Freckled Fawn very merry embellishments kit to the card background.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The journalling card has a Kellie Stamps on the bottom with watercolour over the top. The stamps at the top are from Heidi Swapp. I did some script writing with my Wink of Stella gold pen and added just a couple of random heart stamps. It's pretty simple today.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">In my album the pages look like:</span><br />

The idea being to include 14 items in whatever theme you wanted on day 14. Well, it's day 16 so I obviously missed the 14th, but that happens. However, I love the idea of a year in review so I have done it today. </span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Today has ended up being a one pager in my DD album with no photos.</span><br />

<div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The day card is a gorgeous piece of bokeh vellum from the teal kit. I added the doily, numbers and wood veneer stars from the main kit. The large star I covered with gold glitter washi.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The top card is lift up flap. The outside is kraft card with washi from the teal kit and stickers from the main kit. I added a gold foil word cut with my Silhouette.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The inside of the flap is vellum where I have written the first 12 things.</span></div>

<div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Between the vellum & the photo behind I have created a file card from white card. I have written the final 3 things on this card and then placed it backwards in the pocket - ie so it can't be seen through the vellum. There is a washi covered tab sticking out the top indicating that there could be something more in there. However, my more personal journalling is on this card so I'm not really fussed if people don't pull it out.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I really enjoyed the process of looking back over the year. I initially was worried I wouldn't have enough to write for 14 things. I ended up with 15 and could have written more. Thanks so much Michelle for the prompt :-)</span></div>

Tomorrow is back home to the never ending list of jobs and the craziness of only 10 sleeps till Christmas. *breathe deep, grit teeth and enjoy*</span><br />
<div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I'm part of the awesome DT Documenting December group for <a href="http://www.thestampspot.com.au/catalog/" target="_blank">The Stamp Spot</a> and am using the main, teal & red kits for my <a href="http://aliedwards.com/blog" target="_blank">December Daily</a>.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">A couple more pictures from time in the boat. My husband, the captain as always. Quite frankly, I wouldn't really know what to do, but Zac is all over it. He'll have his boat licence before me. We hit the water early one morning and the kids ate Cheerios in the boat. And of course played with their food. The stickers are from the main & teal kits.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The balsa tree at the top is the back side of day 14. Tree is the same both sides in a see through pocket.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">As for the songs card... well, that was a 'filler' card I created when doing my foundation pages. The music print perfectly lent it to documenting our favourite Christmas songs. Does it fit here on this page? NO! But it has stayed because it is the reverse of the day 14 date card & I wasn't re-doing that one. I'm just going with it being one of those odd things that get put together.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">During this whole DD journey, I've been enormously inspired by <a href="http://aliedwards.com/blog" target="_blank">Ali Edwards</a> and printed a 5x7 photo with a large white background. Still the same printer issue that I haven't spent any time trying fix it. One day I'll work out how to print them at 6x8! I added text prior to printing, using one of Ali's favourite fonts Remington Noiseless.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">And the big question - where is the day indicator? When making my foundation pages I made a day 15 6x4 card on acetate. I had planned to cut it down & pop it in the pocket where the songs card is. But I couldn't swap that card out. So instead I turned the card on its side, punched some holes & have slotted it in between my two pages.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The number is a wood veneer from the Freckled Fawn very merry embellishments kit on a gold glitter circle. This is attached to acetate. The reverse side is a doily and a vellum piece with joy embossed - Michelle created this as part of the teal kit.</span><br />

High 5 me!!! After a crazy, hectic week I'm back up to date with my <a href="http://aliedwards.com/blog" target="_blank">December Daily</a>. That alone has me super excited. A few very relaxing days away with the family only add to it.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I'm part of the fabulous Documenting December DT for <a href="http://www.thestampspot.com.au/catalog/" target="_blank">The Stamp Spot</a> and am using the main, red and teal kits for my DD.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I've combined days 13 & 14 on this post simply because together they are one double page spread in my album. There are 2 reasons for this. The first - we've spent the last few days fishing & generally relaxing so there are not as many photos fighting for a guernsey. Which brings me to my second reason - I'm trying to reign in my pages as my album is already bursting at the seams and it's still 10 days to Christmas. There will need to be some creative displaying in the days to come.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Right, on to the pics. Day 13</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The kids are hanging with i devices playing minecraft, as you do on holidays. I added a foil sticker from the Freckled Fawn very merry embellishments kit. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The day pocket is white card with a repetitive pattern from Kellie Stamps and some water colour over the top. I added washi tape and wood veneer from TSS kits. The number is from the Freckled Fawn very merry embellishments kit.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Finally, the 4x6 is kraft card and I have hand drawn a border around the photo. I have added washi tape, sequin, brad, stickers and enamel dots from TSS kits. The stamp is from Elle Studio.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">A pretty simple page, but the memories are captured and that's the important thing.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Finally the balsa wood christmas tree makes an appearance. You can check out my 'how to' <a href="http://mostlysunshineandrainbows.blogspot.com.au/2014/11/i-think-im-ready-documenting-december.html" target="_blank">here</a> in my foundation pages blogpost. BTW I'm still loving this tree & have even bought more balsa wood for future projects. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The day card is paper from Bo Bunny Candy Lane range - this paper just sings to me. I added sequins, stickers and the glitter numbers from TSS main kit.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The pages look like this in my album:</span><br />

School concert, kindy concert, last day of kindy, last day of school. Seriously I don't know how we keep up. And I've busily documented these days in my December Daily album.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I am so loving this project, mostly for the opportunity just to press pause and reflect on the moments. I can't believe Zac has finished year 2 and junior primary and will be in a new class with a new teacher next year. Gosh, when did he get so big? And another reminder that time marches on regardless... Hannah has finished kindy & can't wait to start school next year. Just not sure where my littlies have gone. Gee, it will be so quiet at home.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I'm part of the awesome DT December group for <a href="http://www.thestampspot.com.au/catalog/" target="_blank">The Stamp Spot</a> and am using the main, red and teal kits to get our memories documented.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Just a reminder with my photos - I'm away at the minute at our farm/shack and have taken these photos outside on my brother-in-laws ute. Not my usual spot, but they're not too bad.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Day 10.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Today it's Zac's school concert. This year is a cabaret theme and his group is doing Singing in the Rain. On this page is a water colour circle die cut with a Kellie Stamps attached to acetate {behind this is a TSS flair}. The embossed pocket on the right was created by Michelle from TSS as part of the teal kit. I added stickers, enamel dots and washi from the teal kit. The number is from the Freckled Fawn very merry embellishments kit.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The tag inside is white card with glitter washi from the teal kit and a sticker from the Freckled Fawn very merry embellishments kit.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The 4x6 is the reverse of my handmade patterned transparency with a nice picture of Zac patiently waiting his turn.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The other side is photos from the concert - which are terrible quality. Action shots, inside, at night - definitely not my area of expertise. But, they record the memory so they're in! The top right pocket is an embossed vellum card from the main kit with some Heidi Swapp stamps added. The bottom right pocket is white card with enamel dots and the photo attached with washi both from the teal kit. And a little bit of script writing with my Wink of Stella gold pen.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Today is Hannah's kindy concert and graduation. The day card is from the red kit and already had that gorgeous ribbon sewn to it. I added sequins, stickers, wood veneer and numbers from the main kit. The journalling card is also from the main kit and I have added washi from the Freckled Fawn very merry embellishments kit.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">This is it. Last day of year 2. Last day of junior primary. Zac had a few roles at assembly today. The year 2's hosted and Zac's part was in thanking the parent volunteers. Later in the assembly the junior primary performed the nativity play, Zac was a narrator. Love this school for the opportunities it provides for the kids.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The shaker pocket is from the teal kit. I added washi and numbers. The 4x6 is paper from Teresa Collins Tinsel & Co with a doily and mini tinsel from the main kit. I have used Heidi Swapp stamps.</span><br />

Like it's any different for anyone else. It's been the last week of school/kindy & I've been trying to fit in all manner of Christmas activities on top of everything else. And in all of that, something's gotta give. This week its been my blog posts & some of my <a href="http://aliedwards.com/blog" target="_blank">December Daily</a>. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">But that has all changed now. Friday school finished & BAM we hit the highway for our farm/shack on the Yorke Peninsula. And I gotta say, there's something pretty darn good about just stepping out of the rat race right at this minute. Can really recharge my batteries to power through the rest of the month.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Ok. So I've been mostly doing my album while I've been blog absent. I'm using the super sparkly kits from <a href="http://www.thestampspot.com.au/catalog/" target="_blank">The Stamp Spot</a> - the main, red & teal kits are my go to.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">There are 3 days in this blog post so I'll warn you right now, it's pretty photo heavy. Also, I'm out of my normal environment & don't have my white background. Ack! These pics have all been taken outside on the back of my brother-in-law's ute.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>

<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The vellum card, wood veneer & number are from the main kit. The stickers are from the teal kit. The other 2 pockets are paper from Teresa Collins Tinsel & Co range. One has with script writing and the other a hand made tag with sequins, rhinestones & washi from the kits.</span><br />

<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">On this day we visited Santa and it really was a magical experience. He spent so long speaking with the kids about Christmas, their wishes, his reindeer, getting surprises. The kids were just spellbound. I loved just watching them interact. We also got an official photo. I've used a 6x8 page protector with the 6x4 photos back-to-back. Around the photos I have machine stitched pockets & added sequins and gold thread.</span><br />

<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The last page for the day has the journalling cards. The space down the bottom is waiting for a gold foil silhouette cut saying Magic. I did cut this the other day but the m was distorted & time was not available before heading off to the farm *picture husband tapping his foot impatiently*. It's the first thing on my list when we return. The glitter card is from the teal kit and the cork Christmas tree & stars are from the Freckled Fawn very merry embellishments kit. The final card is paper from Teresa Collins Tinsel & Co range with stickers from the main & teal kits.</span><br />

<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The glitter shaker card is from the main kit & I have just added the number. The journalling card, paper clip and tag are also from the main kit. I have used a Heidi Swapp stamp on the tag and added washi from the Freckled Fawn very merry embellishment kit. Finally I used a Kaisercraft stamp with the gold ink.</span><br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Lots happened today so I needed another journalling card. This one is just white card with 2 layers of washi at the top and bottom. The bottom card is from the Teresa Collins Tinsel & Co range with a star die cut giving a peek-a-boo to the photo behind. The banner is purple foil from one of the pretend parcel decorations - the kids just couldn't resist opening one *about 5 actually* to see what the tiny little gift inside was. Hmmm... the piece of foam was a little disappointing. I have added a sticker from the Freckled Fawn very merry embellishments kit. </span><br />

<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Overall, this is a pretty simple page. To the day card I have added glitter & wood veneer stars and the number - all of which is from the main kit. I have also added a Kellie Stamps on top.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The bottom left pocket is white card with a piece of gold doily and a Heidi Swapp Christmas ephemera attached. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The bottom right pocket is white card base with a white doily and a sticker from the Freckled Fawn very merry embellishments kit. I really wanted a gold border on the card however don't have my embossing stuff with me at the farm *can only take so much* so I improvised with my Wink of Stella gold pen. And it worked a charm.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The journalling card is from the main kit & I have used the gold gel pen for the writing. Next to it is an acetate piece with a flair from the red kit.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The 4x6 pocket is another piece of acetate stamped with white Stazon to create a pattern transparency. I may add something else to this pocket - perhaps some typed strips of journalling.</span><br />

And as an extra sign it's busy, I'm getting this blog done while I'm relaxing at the hairdressers... as you do!!<div><br></div><div>Day 5 was a great day, as Friday's often are. Santa made a visit to playgroup and Hannah was excited. She normally takes a fairly wide berth around Santa but today she was quite happy to go right up to him. Perhaps it was the gift in his hand :-). And that gift - a battery operated chirping, talking bird - has been a real winner. <br>
<br>Today I'm using the stunning teal & main kits from The Stamp Spot as part of their design team for Documenting December. <br><br>

The date card is from the main kit. I added some washi & stickers, also from the kit. The number is from the Freckled Fawn very merry embellishment kit. I've also done a little water colour script writing. <br>
<br>The journalling is on kraft card with Teal Zing embossed Christmas trees. <br><br>

<div><br></div>The right side is a 1/2 size insert. The photo is on a journalling card from the main kit with stickers & washi added. I used my tiny attacher to staple a Heidi Swapp acrylic arrow. On the side I have attached a tag with a sticker and mini tinsel. <br>
<br>I added some water colour to the journalling card. <br>

<br>
The back of the insert is also just a simple photo & journalling card. I used the Rhonna Designs app to add text to the photo. The journalling card is from the main kit and I have journalled with the gold gel pen. <br>

Thanks so much for stopping by. I am loving my December Daily journal for so many reasons. Top of the list is being able to just stop & reflect on each day. It lessens the blur of life. One of the other reasons is I'm actually getting my photos printed, journalled and in an album. It is truly wonderful to have something to look at that's not on the computer. </div><div><br></div><div>I hope you have a great day & are also enjoying your DD journey. <br>

That will be tomorrow. Things have been a little hectic, as December can be. Adding in a family birthday and I've also just been diagnosed (yesterday) with shingles. I'm less than enthused with this, as you can well imagine. I'm grateful that so far I don't seem to be suffering to badly with it {itchy as all get out though}. I'm also exceptionally grateful that my wonderful husband is currently home from work. Small blessings.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I'm part of the DT group with <a href="http://www.thestampspot.com.au/catalog/" target="_blank">The Stamp Spot</a> and am using the main, teal and red kits from <a href="http://www.thestampspot.com.au/catalog/" target="_blank">The Stamp Spot</a> {which are truly stunning} to create my <a href="http://aliedwards.com/blog" target="_blank">December Daily</a> album. Today I've added in stamps and a few extras bits from my stash. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Ok, so day 6 in my album starts with my sneaky 4x4 page protector. I created this as part of my foundation pages and I still love this page.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The base is vellum with gorgeous teal dots. I've added a doily, stickers, star sequin, tag from the main kit. Twine and enamel dots are from the teal kit and the number is from the Freckled Fawn very merry embellishment kit.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The next page is a full 6x8 with a red glitter base and white card on top. I have used washi & stickers from the kits for the title. As well as my new Wink of Stella red & gold pens. I'm already a little bit partial to these, though I really need to work on my doodling. This page is all about my shingles - woohoo!</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Turn it over and there are birthday celebrations for John's uncle. I've used a white card base, added photos, stamps, watercolour script writing and sequins. Pretty simple, but looks like a party.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The shaker pocket on this page is from the red kit, handmade by the lovely Michelle. To this I added washi and stickers from the kits. The journalling pocket is white card stamped with red stars. The kraft tag has washi and ribbon from the kit. I have used my sewing machine to attach the tag to the card. There are also a couple of pearls which I have coloured with a gold marker. The fabulous <a href="http://bluepondbee.weebly.com/blog/day-2-december-daily" target="_blank">Beth Patfull</a>, one of the other awesome DT members, did a very similar pocket which I absolutely loved.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">This page uses a full 6x8 page protector to fit the tree picture on the other side. On this side I have used kraft card as my base. The shaker pocket part of the red kit and I added the number. The Christmas tree is from different washi pieces included in the kit. Hannah's school photo is mounted on white card and I have journalled next to it with the gold gel pen from the kit. I used my tiny attacher to attach the sequins.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Today is the birthday of one of my great friends & scrapbooking buddies. Naturally a celebration was in order. Three of us enjoyed a morning with a glorious high tea. Needless to say, I didn't eat lunch & barely needed tea.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">On the high tea/birthday photo I have used an overlay from <a href="http://www.rhonnadesigns.com/" target="_blank">Rhonna Designs</a>. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The journalling card is from the main kit and I have added sequins and washi tape. I have journalled again with the gold gel pen.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The elf pocket is red glitter card with doily, stickers, sequins and one of <a href="http://www.thestampspot.com.au/catalog/" target="_blank">The Stamp Spot's</a> gorgeous exclusive flairs.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Pretty simple pages today, but I'm getting it done.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">And this is how the pages look together in my album:</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Day 3, Day 3,</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Look below with glee</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">And feel all warm & fuzzy,</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">As we trim the Christmas tree</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Ok, so I'm not much of a poet, but there's something about the tree going up & carols blaring that really brings out my Christmas spirit. More ho, ho, ho and less bah humbug. We did wait for my husband to be home from work but he's never overly thrilled by the whole idea and mostly will leave me to my own devices.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I'm not an especially particular person. Mostly close enough is good enough. I rarely push for perceived perfection. But for some reason my Christmas tree is different. I like a colour scheme, I like pretty, I like matching wrapping paper & I really, REALLY want it too look like I imagine. The kids however are growing up and getting much more vocal. Zac always wants a rainbow tree - my colour scheme stifles him! This year Hannah was happy to go with it, as long as she could get decorations from EVERY tub! *sigh* Just not the gold & white I imagined. I have, with great difficulty, just gone with it. I've reluctantly {and with great strength of character} not touched the tree since. Surprisingly, it's actually not driving me nuts. Though we shall see how that goes as the month progresses</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Below is Day 3 from my <a href="http://aliedwards.com/blog" target="_blank">December Daily</a>. I'm part of the </span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Documenting December DT for </span><a href="http://www.thestampspot.com.au/catalog/" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;" target="_blank">The Stamp Spot</a><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"> and to</span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">day I'm using the main & teal kits only.</span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"> </span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The paper for the number card was in the teal kit and it's Bo Bunny Candy Lane - Jolly collection. I LOVE this paper so much. I edged the doily with the gold stamp ink from the main kit and placed a teal flair on top. I covered a wood veneer star with glitter washi tape from the teal kit and added sequins, rhinestones and the number. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I edited my tree trimming photo on my phone and added text using the <a href="http://www.rhonnadesigns.com/" target="_blank">Rhonna Designs</a> app. Super easy way to add journalling when space is tight. </span><br />
<br /></div>

<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The other side is pretty simple. I added a sequin pocket from the teal kit to the top of the picture as a flip pocket and a sticker from the main kit.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>

<div>
<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Lift the flap and there's my tree, in all its mis-matched resplendent glory. I also edited this picture on my phone and added a quote from the <a href="http://www.rhonnadesigns.com/" target="_blank">Rhonna Designs</a> app. I'm really liking this picture.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">For my December Daily I'm printing all my pictures at home and the tree picture is the first one that isn't on 6x4 paper. I just couldn't (easily, right now even) work out how to get it to print 6x8 so instead it's 5x7 with a great white border. And it printed crooked! But again, it's about just getting it done. </span><br />

I'm obviously behind - ALREADY! What can I say... my sister had a baby & a visit to hold the precious little girl was in order, of course. Her big brother {almost 3} just adores her already, it's so wonderful to see. And don't bother asking, more kids are so not happening for me. Two is my perfect number :-)</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Okay, let's get onto what my album is looking like. As you know, I'm on the totally awesome DT team for <a href="http://www.thestampspot.com.au/catalog/" target="_blank">The Stamp Spot</a> and am using the main (gold), teal & red kits for my <a href="http://aliedwards.com/blog" target="_blank">December Daily</a>.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The day pocket is Teresa Collins paper from the Tinsel & Co range. The number, vellum star and wood veneer are from the main kit. The paper clip & red label stamp are funnily enough from the red add on kit. I stamped and red embossed the vellum star. I like this pocket, it's simple but bright.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The 6 x 4 paper is from the main kit and I added some punched hearts from a piece of gold foil, also from the main kit. A gorgeous little heart stamp using the gold ink from the kit finishes off the card.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">At the top our somewhat reserved elf also made an appearance on a piece of white cardstock with the writing using the gold pen from the main kit.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Now for the other side...</span><br />

<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The kids are doing their letters to Santa. Zac is using the great printable I got from the Pinterest page of <a href="http://www.pinterest.com/getonwithit/christmas/" target="_blank">Stacey-Lee Collis</a> (another DT member). Hannah chose to type her letter but since she's only 5 and can't read/write/spell yet the letter is pretty much open to interpretation. I'll fill in her printable later and post them to Santa. I'll also copy the letters (and the typed pages!) to include in this album.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The title card, letter/word stickers, washi & sequin star are from the main kit. I added a Heidi Swapp Project Life stamp and also a coloured rhinestone to the star. The journalling card and gold pen are also from the main kit.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">And together in my album they look like this...</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Thanks for coming by to check out my DD progress. I'm really liking how it's looking with photos in there. And I am extra grateful for all the work I did in November creating my foundation pages. Already that is proving a god send.</span><br />

Day 1 - Documenting December 2014<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">December is here and it's time to use my gorgeous, mostly ready, <a href="http://aliedwards.com/projects/december-daily" target="_blank">December Daily</a> album. </span><br>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Some basic deets: I'm using a teal Snap! album from Simple Stories with a variety of pocket pages. My super fabulous kits are from <a href="http://www.thestampspot.com.au/catalog/" target="_blank">The Stamp Spot </a>- main kit and teal & red add ons. I've been incredibly fortunate to be part of <a href="http://www.thestampspot.typepad.com/" target="_blank">The Stamp Spot Documenting December DT</a>. As well as being able to work with Michelle's stunning kits and be a part of a great team, I'm now at the start of December with my foundation pages done. This is my first year undertaking December Daily and I'm pretty sure that already having my album set up will be my saving grace this silly season.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">My photos: most of my pics will be taken with my iPhone 5c - it's handy & I love it. I'm printing my pictures at home - either on my big printer HP photosmart or on my super handy Canon Selphy. </span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Let's have a look and see what Day 1 looks like...</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br></span>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Day 1 covers 7 pockets and uses the main and teal kits. The first page was a 4 pocket page (each pocket 3x4 size). I cut the page in half leaving 2 pockets on the left side. I love this - it's a page in its own right but it also shows sneaks for the next page. This day is all about the return of our elf and making Christmas pudding. Seriously, I could eat pudding all year round :-)</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The Hello card is embossed vellum from the teal kit. The stickers and number are from the min kit. The white card has gold star stamps and I've used the Freckled Fawn star washi to attach the photo. To show the page is a half size, I created a file tab covered with washi & enamel dots from the teal kit with a Heidi Swapp stamp as well. </span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Flip the half page over and you get...</span><br>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The 'lovely' pocket is from the main kit and Michelle had already sewn the gold ribbon which I just love. I added the doily, enamel dots and the wood veneer. I coloured the wood veneer with Heidi Swapp colour shine and added a layer of glossy accents on top. The journalling card next to it is also from the kit. I have used a great technique from <a href="http://bluepondbee.weebly.com/blog/documenting-december-all-ready" target="_blank">Beth Patfull</a> (also in the DT) to emboss the word - World - with some teal Zing.</span><br>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I 6x4 pocket is white card I have added photos and journalling to. Journalling today is either with a black Sharpie or the gold pen from the main kit. I have attached one of the photos with washi tape from the teal kit.</span><br>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The pages look like this in my album...</span><br>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">This is a filler page for our Christmas Eve which will be December 19. My hubby does FIFO and won't be home for the 25th so Santa will be visiting us early. This page is all from TSS kit. The reindeer flair is glued to a piece of acetate. The reindeer pocket is a piece of pre-printed acetate in gold, of course. The doily pocket is the 'other' side of the printed burlap piece.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">One again this page is from TSS kits. The main kit came with a piece of balsa wood, which I haven't used before. I die cut a Christmas tree from the balsa and have used the negative and positive images in my album. This piece is the same both sides with gold embossing around the edges of the tree and some stars drawn on with the gold pen.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I've worked on setting up my pages so pretty much it will {should} be all about adding the photos & the stories as December goes along. This is my first year doing </span><a href="http://aliedwards.com/projects/december-daily" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;" target="_blank">December Daily</a><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"> and I expect to learn a lot from it. Questions I have for myself already are: (1) do I have enough pockets for each day? {eek, possibly not!} (2) what the heck am I doing? </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I'm fully expecting cards to get shuffled around and doubt my album will look the same come the end of the month. But December and the magic of Christmas will be documented - and that's what's most important. And it'll look pretty!!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I'll be updating here daily {gulp!} and will also be linking up with <a href="http://www.thestampspot.typepad.com/" target="_blank">The Stamp Spot blog</a>, <a href="http://aliedwards.com/blog" target="_blank">Ali Edwards December Daily blog</a> and will posting to instagram too - <a href="http://instagram.com/gabby_ingo" target="_blank">@gabby_ingo</a> </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Thanks for stopping by. I'll see you again tomorrow :-)</span><br />

There's one sure thing with a kit - it's bound to include some things which aren't are your usual list of supplies. For me it was a gorgeous 3x4 piece of burlap included in The Stamp Spot <a href="http://www.thestampspot.com.au/catalog/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=642&products_id=5466" target="_blank">main kit</a>. I was worried it could be my undoing *of sorts* but I really wanted to try something a little different with it. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
Since it is not something which I would normally use, I did lots of research in Pinterest *gotta love that place*. I came across a great post by Megan at <a href="http://sparetimetreasuresblog.com/2012/07/06/printing-on-burlap/" target="_blank">Spare Time Measures </a>which showed how to print on burlap using my inkjet printer. I figured... why not! After all, I could only muck it up :-)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiOW6aMnJSsv6sk8nbUjMjmpeD-6P0yyNHGP0jTC1Ycs0T8hlVu2Pq_-5lX91C8IvIUUvJEkybg0sM4Dfr1rZuwhA8wmNMl53sdHkgVIGuKU1Lqsc02KLubeRWDobBliZMFubbNr5NIqBo/s1600/2014-11-22+17.56.38-1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiOW6aMnJSsv6sk8nbUjMjmpeD-6P0yyNHGP0jTC1Ycs0T8hlVu2Pq_-5lX91C8IvIUUvJEkybg0sM4Dfr1rZuwhA8wmNMl53sdHkgVIGuKU1Lqsc02KLubeRWDobBliZMFubbNr5NIqBo/s1600/2014-11-22+17.56.38-1.jpg" height="200" width="149" /></a>1. Create your words/image in Microsoft Word. I used a chalk board font which I love. Use page setup to define your margins so you get the right size for your burlap. Once you're happy, print it out to check placement, etc. You may need to fiddle with this a bit and a few prints might be required. Keep your final print out.</div>
<br />
<div class="" style="clear: both;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhDyD-p-25Bv9EfFM3Nt1fR4LphGsNUVP6UVSk20xZxfbP9lwGe1HSox8Np5hB2CUy70xId1MxtF3Opbz_QQ-ixfrDD5TgmKoAgWtIXU77ZXIv09Y_QY3yaMCrU8ppf80eUZKHj-SEoNaI/s1600/2014-11-22+17.56.53-1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhDyD-p-25Bv9EfFM3Nt1fR4LphGsNUVP6UVSk20xZxfbP9lwGe1HSox8Np5hB2CUy70xId1MxtF3Opbz_QQ-ixfrDD5TgmKoAgWtIXU77ZXIv09Y_QY3yaMCrU8ppf80eUZKHj-SEoNaI/s1600/2014-11-22+17.56.53-1.jpg" height="200" width="150" /></a>2. When you are happy with your Word creation, spray a layer of Spray Adhesive straight onto your burlap. It will need to be a reasonable layer so it sticks to the paper. If it doesn't stick, just spray a little more adhesive. Stick the burlap over the top of your words/picture on your final printout. This ensures it will print in just the right spot.</div>
<div class="" style="clear: both;">
3. Place the paper & burlap into your printer feed tray. Make sure it is in the correct spot to print on your burlap (ie for my printer the burlap piece needed to be upside down and head first into the feed tray).</div>
<div class="" style="clear: both;">
<br /></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg8Oo1cU3qAMFGtPKlxWd3EnmCaOYY3gCQ7hEpFIY_P3YzerUXKkMYZO64uhLOVeVgppcG5jNNd_Rh3kWUzJqkAdOxWZCCFK5WdVc-ARs8lgZZT2W8m1ENBEbO7HMDnMu7aYO_SwlConsc/s1600/2014-11-22+18.14.20.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg8Oo1cU3qAMFGtPKlxWd3EnmCaOYY3gCQ7hEpFIY_P3YzerUXKkMYZO64uhLOVeVgppcG5jNNd_Rh3kWUzJqkAdOxWZCCFK5WdVc-ARs8lgZZT2W8m1ENBEbO7HMDnMu7aYO_SwlConsc/s1600/2014-11-22+18.14.20.jpg" height="200" width="150" /></a>4. Press print & presto *hopefully* it has worked! I finished my burlap piece off by machine stitching a piece of gold ribbon across the bottom. A small disclaimer, of course. This may not work with your printer, but it was no problems with mine. I use a HP Photosmart 7520. Good luck! I'd love to see your creation if you use this technique.</div>

Below are some of my foundation pages which I have created for <a href="http://www.thestampspot.com.au/catalog/" target="_blank">The Stamp Spot</a> Documenting December DT. I'm somewhat ready for December to hit. This is my first <a href="http://aliedwards.com/projects/december-daily" target="_blank">December Daily</a> and I'm pretty excited. I'm *hoping* that all my preparation will make for fairly smooth *yes, I say that loosely* scrapping in December. <br />
<br />
I'm using the main - gold, white & kraft - kit as well as the red & teal add on kits.<br />

All of the cards on this page come from the TSS kit and are from the Teresa Collins Tinsel & Co collection. I have stamped a Kellie Stamps sentiment on the tree and added a gold foil and wood veneer star at the top. On the 'believe' card I have coloured the letters using Heidi Swapp gold colour shine.</div>

Apart from stamps, this page is all from the TSS kit. The card on the top right is a piece of vellum which Michelle had already gold embossed. I just added some Heidi Swapp stamps. And of course it will be a happy day - it's December! The oval card started off as a sticker then I sprinkled some talcum powder on the back to remove the tack. I used my craft knife on a piece of gold washi to trim it to be thin washi. I stamped the gold stars on the tag and added some gold/white twine and some sequins. Lastly I have mounted the 'twinkle' sticker. I'm really happy with how the oval pocket turned out.</div>

All of these cards are from the TSS main kit. The reindeers are a piece of printed acetate with washi & a sticker added. The number card has a white cardstock base with washi tape across the corner. I have used Heidi Swapp gold colour shine on the doily and also edged it with the gold ink from the kit. The burlap piece I printed on with my inkjet printer (check out my tutorial) and I have machine stitched a piece of gold ribbon on the bottom.</div>

The pocket card was created by Michelle and is from the TSS teal kit. I have created a tag from white cardstock and added washi from the kit to the top. The gold sticker is from the Freckled Fawn December Embellishment kit and the stamp is from Kellie Stamps. On the outside of the pocket are enamel dots & a sticker from the kit. The number is from the Freckled Fawn kit and under it is a washi covered die cut circle. The other pocket is only that one circle on watercolour paper. The stamp is from Kellie Stamps and I have used Tim Holtz distress markers to water colour the circle. On the back of that circle is one of the TSS kit exclusive flairs.</div>

I love the idea of being able to see through from one page to the next. To achieve this I'll be using lots of vellum, acetate and sequin pockets. Another way I've done this is to sneak in a 4x4 page protector.To make it fit my album I've glued a piece of acetate along the spine and punched new holes. It probably won't be the only one to make it into my album. :-) The enamel dots, twine and vellum dot paper is from the TSS teal kit *and I just love it*. The doily, stickers, tag and star sequin are from the TSS kit. The stamp is from Heidi Swapp PL and the number from the Freckled Fawn kit. I just love how this page looks.</div>

<br />
Also, keep an eye on <a href="http://www.thestampspot.typepad.com/" target="_blank">The Stamp Spot</a> blog to be inspired by the foundation pages from the other DT members too.<br />

<br />
I first saw the <i>December Daily</i> phenomenon in December last year. And I was blown away by the concept. I wanted to have a go at it but it was already the crazy season & I was overwhelmed by where to start. So I decided that this year I would get in on the act. The amazingly talented Ali Edwards originally created the December Daily idea, check out her <a href="http://aliedwards.com/projects/december-daily" target="_blank">blog </a>for more info.<br />
<br />
To make it even more exciting, I have been very fortunate to team up with the gorgeous Michelle from <a href="http://www.thestampspot.com.au/catalog/">The Stamp Spot</a> as a member of her Documenting December DT Team. *woohoo, go me!!* Michelle released a main kit full of gold, white & kraft - just dazzling really - and lots of add on kits in a variety of colours. And they are all full of sparkly goodness. With great difficulty, I managed to narrow my kit selection down and will be using the stunning main kit as well as the red & teal add on kits. Check out Michelle's <a href="http://thestampspot.typepad.com/my-blog/2014/09/documenting-december-2014-we-have-liftoff.html" target="_blank">blog post</a> to see all the beautiful details of the kit.<br />
<br />
I was pretty excited to receive my kits *read running around the house with my shirt pulled over my head like a soccer player* and set them up just so I could stare at them! <br />

Because you can never have enough embellishments!!! There is quite a bit of winter specific in the kit which just doesn't apply to me, so I've picked out the bits that will work for me. The rest will go into my PL bits.</div>

In addition to the gorgeous patterned paper in the kits, I'm adding some white & kraft card stock, gold, red & teal glitter card and some extra patterned paper from Teresa Collins Tinsel & Co range. All of these are in 12x12 size which I'll be cutting down to size as I need them.</div>
