Countdown to Daily December!

Are you ready?  December is now less than a week today and I am excited document all the little and big things that will be happening in my world for the month of December!

Last year, I created a Daily December book - here are some photos of a few pages:

This is just a little sample of some of the pages I created - nothing fancy, but a fun way to share the memories of this very special time of year!

I am heading out to a 5 night 6 day scrapping retreat tomorrow, and I will be prepping  some of my pages for this month's project!  I can't wait to have so much time to focus on my 

favourite hobby with some of my favourite peeps!!  

Over the next few days I will be posting about how I am getting ready to document December - to give you an idea of my initial hunting and gathering stage:

I have my kit all ready to go!  I am sure I will add a few odds and ends as I go -

 but this is my starting place!  If you need some fun supplies, you can still order the Holiday Happenings collection from CTMH - click HERE to check it out!

I also added the Pear and Partridge Picture my Life cards - HERE!

Remember to check out the December Daily Page above for lots of links to cool December Daily projects and feel free to link up your own projects  - join in the fun and grab a 

badge to let everyone know you are playing along!

Stay tuned for lots of fun  over the next month as we document our December together!!

It's almost time for Daily December!

At the risk of inciting a full on panic - it will soon be December!!  That wonderful, chaotic, busy, happy, sometimes overwhelming time of year that some of us love 

and some of us fear!!

I am a big fan of the Christmas season, and for the past several years I have kept a Daily December Album to chronicle all the moments big and small that contribute to making the festive season the most wonderful time of the year!  That is why I am super excited about the My Crush Holiday Happenings book! 

There is also and accompanying Holiday Happenings Assortment - full of cards and stickers to personalise the book into your own holiday mini album!

And an adorable stamp set!

I will be documenting my December and would love for you to join in on the fun! To purchase the above supplies, just click the links!  Click on the Daily December link in the sidebar for lots of links and suggestions for how to get started!  And if you have a blog - grab the Daily December button and be sure to link up your pages and ideas for us all to share!  Come back often for more ideas and new links!!  

I can't wait to share my December Daily with you and 

see what you come up with as well!

Daily December Day 3 ( and a winner!)

It's Day three and as promised I finished Days 1 and 2 with their photos, and Day 3 is done, too - my lovely little kitty climbed the tree and I caught her in the act!  We don't even have the decorations on yet, so it could be a crazy time over the next few weeks!

Here is the photo evidence:

She is so darn cute - it is hard to be mad at her, but she and her partner in 

crime better stay out of the tree!

Here is my Day 3:

And the completed pages 2 and 1:

Daily December Day 2

Hello!

It's Daily December Day 2!  It sure is hard to believe it is December!!!  So much to do and so little time!  I hope your holiday preparations are going well, and that you are making a few great memories along the way!  Don't forget to document the m in a mini or on a layout.  Often, it is the little moment we look back on and remember with such happiness.

 Here is my page for today:

I love the Cricut Artbooking overlays - so fun! And EASY - 

for a slightly lazy scrapper like me - PERFECT!

I also have a few holiday cards from the Frosted Workshop on the Go Kit - 

3 designs, 5 cards each and voila - 15 cards in no time!

Super easy and lots of fun to make!  Tomorrow I PROMISE I will post the finished Daily December pages, and also the name of the of the winner of my

Happy Day!

Daily December Day 1

 I love December!  All of the sights, sounds and smells of the season put me into the holiday spirit!  Every year I make a Daily December mini album to capture the ordinary and the special of each day leading up to Christmas.

In process:

 

This year I am using the Sparkle and Shine collection from the CTMH Holiday mini catalogue to put my book together!

Here is Day 1 (I will put today's photo in tonite!)

The numbers are made with the Magical Days stamp set. I love the Cricut Artbooking cartridge- lots of the die cuts (like the arrows) come from that cartridge, along with many other great things to use on your pages cards and other projects!

I will be posting a page a day throughout December, so I hope you stop by again!

Please leave a comment with a link to your December Daily albums - I'd love to be inspired by your creativity!

Happy Day!
