December Daily Album - Day 1

Phew!!! I only got pages done last night! But I am doing it different!



I am going to decorate my pages as I go along. As I don't know what photos I will have and I don't know what size I want them, what the colour scheme should be extra!!! I know I am thinking too much but I can't help it! I only bought the cardstock and I will be using stash that I have already got. I have all my embellies in the oblong box and the plastic box is holding Christmas stamps and papers! I cut all the numbers on my craft robo, they are now stored in a little plastic box! My dear friend Tracey gave me a Xyron Create a Sticker 150 on Friday, all I can say how did I do without it, along with the cutest Tinkerbell Notebook???? Thanks a ton, Tracey. As you can see I have the title of my DDA book done (using the xyron) and not a lot else, I have decided I will tart it up at the end!

And I am also going to continue mine until the 6Th January, as in our house (and my parents, and their parents, and on and on) the decorations don't come down until then and it is also DH's birthday!

Also our decorations don't go up until the 6Th of December for two reasons! First again my families tradition (Catholic Faith) and we always had parties in the house for Chloe (her birthday is on the 3rd) and I wanted to separate Christmas and her birthday, so it was birthday decorations and then Christmas decorations!




So no pics of us decorating, but pics of the girls opening (or should that be holding) their Advents

Stash Used

Crafty Individuals - 6x6 Christmas paper
Bazzill - Green - Cardstock
Kelly Panacci - Swirl stamp
Brilliance Inkpad - Moonlight White
Tim Holtz - Pine needles distress ink (around the edges)
Brad - White snowflake, I think my MIL gave me a packet of them as a present
All numbers are cut using the Craft robo and pearlascent cardstock
