Last week was both eventful and uneventful
Monday, this was the only photo I took. So I used it!
Again using the cover of a Target catalog that came in November. I also used an Ali Edwards PNG for the faux “Polaroid” look.

Tuesday, I made this little house last week for the Samantha Walker blog hop so it was only appropriate to use it in my book.
Crate and Barrel catalog cover
Tim Holts bingo chip
Wednesday, decided to use day 11 in a 4up sleeve. That way I can add some to the backside

Hello again.
I sure have enjoyed working with Chic Tags & Glitz Designs.
Are you ready to see more fabulous projects?
I have one more layout for you to enjoy. For this one I used one of the Glitz Designs Silhouette cuts to cut the deer head. You might recognize it from the Finnley Collection. When I saw the Reindeer card from CT good tidings, I knew it had to go on this layout. I’m still really impressed how well the 2 collections went together.
I hope you have been inspired with all of my teammates projects! We all were so lucky to work with these 2 great companies.
Don’t forget if you haven’t been by the Chic Tags blog & Glitz Designs blog stop by and leave a comment to win some fabulous prizes!
In the past I have tried doing a December daily and never have been 100% successful. So this year I am trying a new approach. Instead of December Daily I am calling it Hello December. I have a really hard time documenting each day, so I am using a couple different prompts for not so daily photos/journaling. I don’t want to be forced to document everyday, just fun moments and a few things in between. I am using a Studio Calico Handbook with a mixture of pocket page protectors.
(I will try my best to name all product and provide links to most.
Most is from my personal stash.
Please feel free to email me nay questions at: amadd78 {at} gmail {dot} com)
Recollections Michaels
The first page in my book I printed out December photo a day from Fat Mum Slim on vellum. I am not dedicated to these prompts they are just here for filler incase I need something exciting.
Title page: I used a 4 up 3x4 page protector. I filled the pockets with a mixture of different journaling cards and embellishments I had! **I didn’t buy anything particular for this album, everything I had on hand including the album** I spray painted wood A & K for Aimee & Kevin. I don’t have anything in the backside of the pockets but plan to add PLS December 1-25 Journaling Cards.
2nd page: I added this years Christmas card to a piece of cardstock with a sticker and sewed the sticker to the cardstock so you could flip the card up to reveal the photos on the back of the card.
Day 1: For a kick start I used the photo prompt, I also used the cover of a J.Crew catalog I had received in the mail as my base not worrying about what the back side would look like {I like using holiday junk mail in my album it helps remember what trends were hot}
Day 2: using the photo prompt again I filled a 4up 3x4 page protector, again not worrying about filling the backside.

Day 3: using the photo prompt again I printed my photo on to vellum.

Day 4: by this point I got busy and feel behind. So when I played catch up I used a 6x8 digital template from Ali Edwards. I filled the template of photos from around the house. I also used a 6x8 page protector.
Day 5: Slipped into the backside of day 4. The cover of a crate & barrel catalog, I attached a vellum cut I made with my Silhouette Cameo.
Day 6: Using a 4up 3x4 page protector I filled it with photos leaving one empty to fill with a 3x4 transparency from Chic Tags and some umwowstudios chipboard snowflakes. The backside I used some PLS December 1-25 Journaling Cards. I journaled what we did on those days. {not really day 6}
Day 7: really isn’t day 7… like I mentioned I have let go of trying to document what we did each day, and just documenting it! So this page I used another Ali Edwards 6x8 Template to print my photo and slipped it into a page protector. I slipped day 6 into the backside of this page protector. Again I used an Ali Edwards template to print my photo.

Crate Paper
merry christmas embellishment from Michaels
Day 8: I made ahead of time {while making days 2 & 3} I used a prompt and printed an email out onto vellum. I didn’t think I would have anything for this day but I ended up having a lot. So I used another Ali Edwards’s template to print out what we did on Sunday, which was going to the beach and motorcycle show. Using a page protector I slipped the photo in and the backside I used a piece of an anthropologie catalog {which was the email I had previously printed}.
