December Daily week 4

I'm doing the December Daily project inspired by Ali Edwards, but my project is in this altered book.

This is week 4 at my house. Click on any photo to see it larger.

more than one page for Christmas Day celebrations :-)

My December daily is for the entire month, so I'm not stopping at the 25th.

Only a few pages left to go until the end of December. See my other postings about this project here

Merry Merry

Whoever you're with, wherever you are - I wish you happy holidays filled with love and laughter

December Daily week 3

I'm doing the December Daily project inspired by Ali Edwards, but my project is in this altered book.

This is week 3 at my house. I'm loving incorporating all sorts of different elements on the pages. Click on any photo to see the details larger.

A metal embossed strip tops the page

The candy canes are a strip of ribbon

Painted doily in the background of the left page.
Couldn't bear to cover up the masked tree.

Really enjoying using the transparent elements

This book will be fabulous to look through in the future with the daily memories of this December captured so visually.

So glad I embarked on this project. See my other December Daily postings here

More Fabric Cuffs

I shared my first fabric cuffs with you last week and here are the rest

Have you changed your mind about which one's your favourite?

Creative JumpStarts and The Documented Life Project

A couple of things happening in January that I've started to think about already... Have been doing Nathalie Kalbach's Creative Jumpstarts for a couple of years now. See my posts here. So excited that she is doing it all again in January 2014.

Get all the information to sign up HERE. It's only US$20 if you're new to Creative Jumpstarts. For that you get 23 videos through January and opportunities for great giveaways. Based on previous years, I don't think you'll regret it. Get a taste of what was on offer last year : Nathalie has been sharing her Jumpstarts from January 2013 - check them out alongside other free tutorials from her here.
And yesterday on Roben-Marie Smith's blog I read about The Documented Life Project.

It's about making your everyday planner/diary more artful and from 1st January there'll be a free weekly challenge on ways to use and decorate your planner. Check out Roben-Marie's base here, Lorraine Bell's here, Rae Missigman's here, and Sandi Keene's here. There's going to be a facebook group, and a flickr group too. Thinking it would be fun to turn my boring daily diary into something pretty to keep.

December Daily week 2

I'm doing the December Daily project inspired by Ali Edwards, but my project is in this altered book.

This is week 2 at my house. Click on any photo to see it larger.

Still inserting spreads to use up the extra pages in my book. Love these old photos of my boys from past Christmas days.

Also loving how you can see my turquoise/red colour theme so clearly when you see the pages laid out in this post. 

Of course I'm also loving how my book is filling up and looking so artful when viewed from the side.

See my other postings about this project here and come back in a week for more :-)
