Hello!  I hope you had a wonderful Christmas!  We sure did.   We are spending this rainy holiday weekend together doing a whole lot of nothing before our crazy week begins (my sister gets married New Years Eve!!).  That means time for catching up in December Daily!

I start my album the day we cut down our Christmas Tree which is usually over Thanksgiving Break with our dear friends the Carpenters.  I saved a shopping bag from our favorite tree farm to use on the left, and added a business card of the place we always have lunch beforehand. The tree journaling card from the Elle’s Studio November 2015 Kit was the perfect addition to this page.

On the left page, I inked the wood Star from the Joyful Wood Veneers with my red ink pad, and layered it over the “Love this Time of Year” Vellum found in the Joyful Bits and Pieces Pack.

December 1st and 2nd were all about getting our tree decorated after the homework was finished!   The Documented Journaling Card is also in the November 2015 Kit.  I used some older labels I had in my stash to place throughout the spread to create a visual triangle.  The vellum star is something I saved from the Elle's Studio July 2015 Kit!  (Fourth of July stars work great for Christmas too!)

I just adore the photo on the right and decided to enlarge it and leave it fairly simple.  I layered our beautiful Acrylic “Merry and Bright” Piece over the photo.   I have found the keeping my pages simple is the best way to get it DONE!   Can't wait to share more.

Elle's Studio products used: Joyful Wood Veneers, Elle’s Studio November 2015 Kit, Joyful Bit’s and Pieces, Merry and Bright Acrylic, Joyful Stickers,

Merry Christmas!!!

Merry Christmas!  From our home to yours.  

May your hearts be full of peace from the One who came to set us free.

Love, Todd, Jenni, Jonah, and Jordan

December Daily Cover

It's December 20th!  Better late than never right???



Life has been in full swing in great ways for our family.  I have had little time to post projects here but wanted to share my December Daily cover page and pages completed in the days ahead.

For my December Daily this year I purchased Ali Edwards December Daily Kit and also frequently using Elle's Studio Joyful products.  I also have collected quite the Christmas stash over the years and throwing those items into the mix as well.

For the front title page I trimmed the coin pocket 6x8 page.  I love having the other pages peek out from it and it's much easier to work with 8 squares.  Here is the back side of the pocket page.

And a full view of the second page.

  

Thanks for stopping by!!!
