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:

   o Memory Files Scrapbook Kit

   o Christmas Ephemera Pack

   o Silver Color Magic tags

   o Embossed Frame Embellishments

   o Color Magic Chipboard Alphabet

   o Color Shine: Sweet Cherry,  Mustard, Citron, Navy & Bronzer

  From Scrapbook  Island:

   o Trims

   o large black tags

   o book rings

  From Bazzill Basics

   o White orange peel cardstock

   Other:

   o twine

   o Scotch Quick Dry adhesive

   o 4” doily

   o Scrapbook Adhesive foam squares

   o 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
