That's right, for the crafters of the world - is time to get ready for all our December projects, including our December Daily albums.

We are going to see a few variations this year but for now go back and have a look at what the girls all got up to in the last few years - a great place to start is here viewtopic.php?f=378&t=10846 there is a treasure trove of information and ideas in there

Ooooh couldnt agree more Lee-Anne!!!

Cant wait to get mine started!

Has anyone got any ideas how you are going to approach your's this year??

Are you going to pre-plan and set the whole album up beforehand - OR are you going to do it day by day in December?


What things do you like to include??

Put all relevant thoughts here in this thread so we can share and learn!!

I am all prepared and done mine...Lee-Anne very kindly cut chipboard for me before the school holidays and I got it all covered, layered ready for my photos on the 1st December

we want to see Miss Mel!!! this is the thread where we want you to upload to...

oooh cant wait! You are so super duper organised!

I had to get it done Mandy, or else I knew once I went back to work the mojo would dissappear again, so over the last holidays, Mum came over a couple of days and I got it all covered and layered ready for photos, journalling and embellishing.
Here is the cover and inside page of front cover

Love how that has turned out Mel.

Very nice Mel! It looks gorgeous.

Ooooooooooooo! Mel that is just gorgeous.

WOW! thats just stunning Mel!!

I cant wait to see more! Love the papers - weeeeell, the colours, that deep dark rich Christmas colour! Lots of fabby detail. The cover is gorgeous with the banner tags - great layering.

Keep sharing!!!

I got some bits and pieces from Scraptherapy's bargain bin when I was there this year (can't remember if was April or August visit!). Some Bella Christmas papers and chipboards. Red and white - my lesson from last year was that I shouldn't challenge myself with complicated colour schemes at such a busy time of year.

I reckon I will get the basics done beforehand this year - just the pages cut to size, a box with offcuts, ribbons, stamps, inks etc. I might also have a couple of fill-in pages ready for those days when I just don't get a photo - I put a couple of recipes in last year for example.

And start reading through all of Tiff's wonderful tutorials again.

Love your album Mel.

I'm hoping to give this a go, great memories for the future. I know for sure I'm going to put my rum ball recipe in. Every year I struggle to find it lol. December is such a full on time with so much little detail you could so easily forget. I'd like to also do a page for each Xmas party we attend, as most are in November I'm adding extra work but it'll be worth it

Sounds great, Sarah. I did my very first one last year and LOVED it. Can't wait for December.

I remember how reluctant you were Deb hee hee... then fell hook, line and sinker!! Oooh Sarah, I'm sure you will totally love it too. Thats right, with what Helen says and you too - it can be recipes or even things that really dont represent christmas but still was part of what you were doing in December anyhows. Its all interesting to look back at 'Christmas' Past'!

This will be my forth Dec Daily - and I love mine way to bits - so do the family! They are massive conversational pieces by family and friends etc when sitting on the coffee table.

I was going to make one of these last year but it didn't happen (procrastination seems to be a constant companion these days )...maybe this year!

I love yours Mel!

Wow Mel stunning!!
