Deb's December Daily journey ........

Deb's December Daily journey ........





This year's will be my3rd December Daily. I started in 2011 after admiring Mandy's gorgeous creations and thought, I need to give this a go. Although I must admit, I did wonder how I would manage to have something to record each day. So,without jumping in too deep, I decided to go through my stash and find bits and pieces that I thought might work and made my covers from some corrugated card. It was quite small (about 4" x 6"). My page base was made from an old canvas pad I had never used and I pre-planned my pages. I remember as I went along through December, thinking - am I doing this right? Is this what a December Daily is all about? By the end of my first one I realized it's about what I wanted it to be about.




Some of my pre-planned pages.......all very basic but as much as I wanted to doa December Daily, I was still a little unsure.



and a finished page...............
and it ended up looking like this, so as you can see I found plenty to record in December.
Then in 2012 (by now I was hooked on December Daily-ing lol) I decided to go bigger and not pre-plan. I found the smaller size and pre-planned pages too restricting for me. I loved working on my 2012 album. It was my main scrappy project for December and I loved the process of creating a page for the memories I had each day. When I didn't take photos, there was always something to record.
Tied up with a ribbon and some decorating on the back as well.
and some of my favourite pages.............
A photo of all the beautiful "red" I could see around me that day.........
Some hidden journaling in a pocket attached to my page.........
and a copy of a grocery docket...........

So now, in 2013 I am ready to go........covers prepared and some little embellies done. (Iwanted to makea few of my own embellies this year to fit in with the pastels). It's just a little smaller than last years and I said I wasn't going to go any smaller as I loved the size last year, so we'll see how I go.
