Ok, so I caved... to the peer pressure I suppose.
I've made a December Daily book for the past 3 years now. This year I decided I was way too uninspired, way too short on patience & just frankly have too many things keeping me distracted right now that I wasn't going to tackle this book. NO. NOT GOING TO DO IT. But every single year by the end of the month, I'm really glad I took the time. It even makes me think I can tackle a Project Life book when I'm finished. And then I come back to my senses & realize it ain't happenin'!
You can see my 2010 December Daily right here and 2009. Couldn't find 2008 in it's entirety, but here's a day with some pages from that year's book.
I'm planning to use a mix of products for my book this year (ie. whatever I can find in my stash), but I'll probably use the Nikki Sivils Gingerbread Land collection for the majority of it...
To add a little more interest & dimension to the cover, I used my Glossy Accents inside all the circles (you know I love that stuff)...
There's also a SRM Merry Christmas sentiment on there (well, of course!). Speaking of SRM Stickers... check out their blog today for details on how to apply for their design team! A new call has been posted today!
Before you get too excited about this book (because I know you're on the edge of your seats right now), please note the simplicity of all the pages. I'm using some Becky Higgins 12x12 divided page protectors, cut down to size, so I can just stick my photos + journaling spots into place. Quick & easy... hopefully without too much thought. LOL
Anyone else doing a December Daily this year? Link me up in the comments. Would love to see yours!
I have my base done and pics printed from the weekend... and hoping *fingers crossed* to work on it tomorrow :) I loveeeeeeeeeee yours!! Nik's papers are perfect for it! :):):):):):):):):):):)

I like albums like this, and I WILL get excited regardless of how much or how little you put into it! You always create something beautiful!!

Well glad you caved to peer pressure in this case. Though I must point out that I stay above the fray and did not bully you into doing it, lol. It's gonna be adorable and you know it!
