December Daily ~ days 1-5

Ok, it's still bugging me that my daughter is more ahead on her December Daily than I am! hehe I'm catching up though. Normally I would add photos to my album on a daily or semi-daily basis. That makes it much easier to keep up with. But as I've already said, I'm a bit behind this year. Never fear, I'll be caught up by this weekend!

So here's the cover...

I used a 6x6 American Crafts album that has the chipboard covers w/the red spine. I'm hoping to use these albums every year. Won't that look pretty on a bookshelf?? Anyway, I cut circles with Making Memories paper, added some AC shiny red thickers (looove those) and some lace along the side. I could've painted the cover but I really like the look of raw chipboard. BTW, I used a hot glue gun to keep that lace in place. It's not going anywhere! Oh, and I used some Martha Stewart decoupage glue on the cover so those cute little circles don't start peeling off. I've said it before, my albums get looked at....a lot. So I try to make them a bit durable. Oh, those thickers are hot glue gunned on, too :)

Day 1 ~ there's gingy:) Used a Ali Edwards holiday word art to the photo along with some ribbon & Fiskars border punch.

On the backside, a journaling card from Elle's Studio. Day 2 ~ Jenni Bowlin bingo card, trees cut from Making Memories paper, red rick rack & a Heidi Swapp crystal circle.

On the backside, another one of those Elle's Studio journaling cards & AE holiday word art.

Day 3, Ali Edwards December overlays, buttons & rick rack.

On the backside, photobooth frames with some ribbon.

Day 4, I used one of the page protectors that came with the album and created a photo collage.

On the backside, the journaling & accents.

The next page is actually a 3rd page of Day 4 because I had more photos to include.

Day 5 ~ I only made one page for this day because it was a lazy Saturday at home! I added some Christmas cut ups to the photo.
