December mini album


I have always liked the idea of creating a December Daily mini album. I have admired all the albums posted on blogs, Facebook and Instagram. So much inspiration! I am amazed that some people actually are able to create a page each day even with the insanity of the holiday season.

This January, I printed all my Christmas photos and then found this Document December album by Heidi Swapp on clearance (such a great buy).



This is a kit that includes the album, pages, alphas and ephemera. I decided to use the photos I already printed to create a "December Not Daily" album. It was a lot of work but I feel that an album like this really captures the spirit of the season with more photos and journaling.

I think, I'm hooked! I just need to figure out how to scrap next December, daily or not. I learnt a lot about creating this type of album and hope to use this information for next year!




Note to self, take more vertical photos they fit better in an album that is approximately 6X8 inches. Always adhere your alphas even if they are stickers.

How do you guys capture your holiday memories?

  1. Love this mini album! I have wanted this kit! I tried to do December daily for 2015 and it was a complete fail. It was impossible for me to craft, take pics and journal during the season! This year I committed to having my album done before November 2016. I am doing a standard 12X12 size because I want to use up lots of my supplies since I used none last year! I have 12 pages done so far!

    1. You will have to keep me posted of your progress! I'm still torn of what I will do this year. I like idea of using 12x12.
