December Daily



 Considering that I haven't done this type of project for three years, I am super hopped up on the topic this year!

The December Daily project... a lovely idea created by scrapbooker Ali Edwards as a means to document her month of December.  As usual, we are all super busy and preoccupied during the holiday season.  This project is a way to take a moment to step back, breathe, and remember the traditions and memories while you are making them.  Read Ali's blog HERE.


This book was created using the following supply list:

From Heidi Swapp:
   Memory Files Scrapbook Kit
   Christmas Ephemera Pack
   Silver Color Magic tags
   Embossed Frame Embellishments
   Color Magic Chipboard Alphabet
   o Color Shine: Sweet Cherry,  Mustard, Citron, Navy & Bronzer
  From Scrapbook  Island:
   Trims
   large black tags
   book rings
  From Bazzill Basics
   White orange peel cardstock
   Other:
   twine
   Scotch Quick Dry adhesive
   4” doily
   Scrapbook Adhesive foam squares
   sequins




One of my favorite things to add to a mini album is a glassine bag filled with sequins and confetti - then sewn shut.  


I had fun mixing Heidi Swapp Color Shine colors to get the green I was looking for and more.  I mixed Navy with Citron, and mixed Sweet Cherry with the tiniest bit of bronze to darken it up.  


I'm just realizing that I also used the Christmas themed pack of Heidi Swapp banners.  Those are great to cut up and layer :)


This project was made for the Scrapbook Island Design Team.  Thanks, Laurie for another amazing box of goodies to create with!!



Thank you for taking a look at my project.  I hope you are inspired to create a little December journal of your own.  Mostly, I pray that you are able to take time this holiday season to sit back and have moments of gratitude for God's mind-blowingly extravagant gifts of grace and mercy in Jesus.

Much love,
Stacey
