December 2012 Album

I  started this December Daily-esque  album right after Christmas 2012. I was pretty close to finishing it when I put it aside for something else. I pulled it out in preparation for submitting to the Craft Warehouse design team. That is when I realized I was not quite finished.

I still  haven't finished all of the journaling, but I am slowly working on it. I want to do another book this year for December/Christmas, so I am trying to get this one wrapped up.

I really wanted to get this posted so I took pictures before the journaling was done.

I love this book. It went together so quickly and the finished product is one of my favorites to date. Binder, paper, paper, trims and stickers are all from Teresa Collins Christmas Memory Binder Kit plus a things from my stash.

Way back in 2012 I was shopping my local Craft Warehouse when I found the binder kit and some extras on sale and I knew it would be a perfect for my first attempt at a December Daily. I didn't quire get the daily part done, but I did get the highlights from the month.

Sorry for the picture overload. Enjoy.

Advent Calendar

I made this cute little advent calendar for Christmas next year. (I didn’t finish it in time for this year.)


The 3D Countdown Calendar is from Karen Foster and measures approximately 8 1/2" x 8" and each individual drawer is approximately 1 1/2" x 1 1/2". The calendar comes with a template for the drawer fronts and clear number stickers 1-25.

I covered the box and drawers with My Minds Eye “Be Merry” paper. They are decorated with sparkles, brads, ribbon, cut-outs from scrap paper, stickers, Stickles and other embellishments.

The little drawers all pull out and can be filled with candies, trinkets, toys or other fun rewards. I am really look forward to using this next yer with The Peanut ~ I think she will love opening the drawers and finding a different treasure every day!
