I really like this page. I've used this Reminisce paper before--it's such a fun, graphic, bold image.

The little tag is from a packet of ephemera/journal tags from K&Co. The red on the edge matches almost exactly with the Reminisce paper! Love that.

This page is the back side of Week 3. I made all the right side pages for the different weeks shorter than the regular day pages because I could only get 3 day pages from each piece of chipboard--with one small piece left over, which became the week page.

Here's the right side of the Week 3 division pages.

I used a border punch on the Reminisce snowflake paper edge, then adhered it over the red cardstock. I did the opposite on the left side of the layout.

The letters and number are from a Cuttlebug die cut alphabet. I used the same green cardstock for each week's letters and numbers to provide a little continuity.

This is my Week 3 page break. My December Daily album is divided into the four weeks of Advent, with a division page for each new week.

I liked how this division layout looks. I love the Reminisce snowflake paper--it's got a pearly sheen to it. I used a border punch on the red cardstock and tucked the snowflake paper beneath it.

This is the mirror image of the left side of this day. I stamped Walnut Stain inked snowflakes on Cocoa cardstock.

I added a rectangle of cream cardstock, which was distressed with Antique Linen and Brushed Corduroy.

What would I do without Tim Holtz inks?? ;-)

I can't believe two whole weeks have gone by in the December Daily project! I've been having so much fun with it!! Yesterday I took some time to fix several pages I wasn't too excited about.

The pages for Dec 10 were very boring. (Scroll down to see what I mean.) I fixed them by adding some pieces from a postcard I received from Bath & Body Works. (Totally one of my favorite stores!)

The postcard had a silhouette of a snowy street with snowflakes falling. It was all in red and white. Very pretty. I cut off the line of houses on the street and adhered them to the bottoms of the pages. Then I punched out several tiny snowflakes and adhered them as well.

MUCH better!

Now...on to today's pages!

I used my (now) beloved Bazzill Cocoa cardstock. I stamped random snowflakes in Walnut Stain Distress Ink for a tone-on-tone look, with plenty of spaces for writing.

On this side, I adhered more of the music paper I've used on other pages. I distressed the edges with Antique Linen and Brushed Corduroy Distress Inks.


Thanks for stopping by today!

I merely reversed the stripes of the Reminisce paper I used on the other side. I did mange to die cut a rectangle of white cardstock and stamp a tree on the top of it.

It needs some stuff.

What it REALLY needs is a touch of TIM HOLTZ...doncha think?? *wink wink*

I used more Reminisce paper. I really like the stripes, but I'm not too sure I'll be able to see my writing.

I've been having a total BLAST doing this December Daily thang! In fact, I completely filled up yesterday's pages before I was even done with all my thoughts!!

Maybe I should do a 12x12 size next year....ha ha ha!! OK, no. =D
