December Daily 2012: Cover, First Few Pages, & Day 1

November went by so fast. Can’t believe we’re in December. I started working on my December Daily album and wanted to share it with you. This year I decided to go with the Sleigh Ride Collection by Crate Paper, the Wonderland Collection by Studio Calico, and the Once Upon a Christmas Collection by Little Yellow Bicycle for my December Daily. I’ll also mix in items from previous collections and some new stuff.

For the front, back, and inside covers, I hoarded my supplies from the Once Upon a Christmas Collection by Little Yellow Bicycle. I love this image of Santa and used it for my front cover. This pattern paper is called Vintage Santa/Brown Houndstooth. I colored the image of Santa using some colored pencils. I used a Holly Jolly Clear Stamp (59216) from the Hollyday Collection by American Crafts for my album title.

For the front, inside cover, I used the pattern paper called Christmas Greetings/Cream Damask by Little Yellow Bicycle.

I tried to keep my December Daily simple, traditional, and a bit modern for this year. Mostly just having fun with it. I hope you’re having fun with your December Daily (if you’re joining in this year). I’ll try my best to stay on track and not fall behind on it this year. I’ll post more of my album as I go. So far, so good. Happy to be doing it again. Happy December and Happy Creating, Everyone!


Halloween Costumes O’Fl!p Album

I have been wanting to make a mini album of all the cute Halloween costumes my girls have worn throughout the years. The Tricks and Treats Collection by Pebbles combined with their O’Fl!p Album made it a fast, easy, and fun way to get it done. I love the design elements and colors in this Halloween line, because it’s not scary…it’s just fun. The candy, animals, and ghosts are so sweet. I have to admit that, when I first saw this album, I was quite taken back by its size. I have never done a 4 x 6 mini album before. I worked on the first few pages, got the hang of it, and ended up loving it. It really was fast, easy, and fun! I even have pages ready to add their costumes after this Halloween. I’m so excited…Caitie will be Princess Belle from Disney’s Beauty and the Beast and Payton will be Princess Merida from Disney-Pixar’s Brave. I finally get two princesses this year! Have a safe and Happy Halloween, Everyone!

Hello Summer 2012 Mini Album

I’m SO excited! It’s my Design Team debut with Pebbles today and I made a mini album!

Our plans to go to Disney World this summer fell through due to a broken furnace. We had to replace it and decided to replace the AC unit right along with it (glad we did it with the heatwave we’ve had). I think 19 years is a good run…Don’t you? Ha! The hardest part was telling the girls that all our vacation money went into the new heater and AC unit. They were upset, but very understanding and sweet about it. We promised them we would have an amazing summer anyway (which we did)! I miss the summer already. We also promised them that we would try to go to Disney World again next summer. We had a fun, busy, and great summer staycation! I made this mini album over-filled with all of our wonderful summer memories. I had over 1200 photos to go through and it was really hard to pick out my favorites. The easiest part was using the new Sunny Side Collection for most of my album. It’s such a great, happy, and versatile collection! Love it! I hope you enjoy this mini. I had fun making it. There are 79 pics for you to go through. Yes, I realize that’s crazy. I promise no more crazy projects for Pebbles. (well…maybe just one or two more). You’ll just have to stay tuned.

Yay! You made it to the end of this post…Congrats! 😉 Thanks for stopping by! Have a great day!

A Berry Special Day! Mini Album

I made this mini album using the Antique Store and Hopscotch Collections by Pretty Little Studio. I combined vintage with modern in a “berry” fun way. Last year, Caitie had a Strawberry Shortcake Birthday Party. While I watched Caitie play with her Strawberry Shortcake Play-Doh, I got this idea…
Why not make a mini album based on these shapes?
With six characters and shapes, this mini album can have six pages. I waited a year for the right collection to come along for me to complete this project. The Antique Store Collection is perfect!
I love how this mini album turned out!
