the rest of DD 2011

I hope everyone had a Merry Christmas! I got my December Daily prints back the other day from Persnickety and I couldn't be happier. The shipping is fast and the quality is awesome.

We had an awesome Christmas! My family exchanged names this year. Mom gave me the Wonder Woman Snuggie. I love it!

December Daily 16 &17

Don't you just love the weekend? I just can't believe how fast this month has gone by. Is Christmas really just one week from today? 

December Daily 12-15

This week slapped me around a little bit. I had to catch up on 12-15 today when I had some time.

I'm looking forward to no school, homework, tests, etc. 

 

December 10 and 11

December 8 & 9

I got sick yesterday and didn't take any pictures so I just made a page of our Christmas music playlist. I thought that might be a fun memory to look back on :)

December is HERE! Deep breath...

I'm so excited to do another December Daily album this year! My plan to do an 8x8 size has changed. I discovered a new size that is going to be a game changer for me...

5.5 x 8.5

These pages are 8.5x11 and then they will be cut in half. You can purchase the mini binders and page protectors for this size at Staples. The binder is not the cutest thing on the planet however it's really sturdy and that's just what I need. We'll make a cute cover page for it, I think it'll work out great.

Congrats is in order for Paigeykinnykinkins

She won 1st place in the Poetry contest for 4th grade this year!

Sorry the video is a little shaky...Braden said he will do better next time :)



December Daily 2011

Ali Edwards December Daily

It's that time again!! December is just around the corner, can you believe it?! I decided last year to take the plunge and complete a December Daily album for our family. I've kept it out all year and the kids love looking through it. It's amazing how fast time flies by and I just want to capture these memories for the kids. 

There are so many ways you can go about it. My motto is simple and digital. This was the finished product from last year.
Thanks again AJ for binding my book :) 

 It's a 6x8 album. I put 4 pages onto a 12x18 document and printed those at Costco. Chipboard for the front and back covers. I used some Christmas paper I had to cover them. This front cover I scrapbooked and printed from home on cardstock.  

 I think I took a picture of this last year. This envelope holds loose keepsakes from the month.

 This is one of the pages. Costco wasn't doing me any favors the day they printed my pages. They turned out darker than I would have liked. I'm going to print my pages this year from Persnickety Prints. They printed my Disneyland pages and they did an awesome job!

I've decided to do an 8x8 album this year, I'll share some pages with you along the way.
