Hello December!

December, eh? Where did that come from?

Luckily, my December Daily album is ready to go!

Day 1 

I had to take the photo in poor light, so some Photoshopping was needed to brighten it up a bit. It went more orangey red than I would have liked - my pages are pre prepared & the rest of the page is a cooler blue/green, so I brought the colours together with a little red on the blue part & some green & black on the red. 

I used the Bokehful app to add the twinkles to the front of the card. It's great for adding extra interest.

This page took me just 10 minutes to complete - if they're all like that I'm certain I'll complete this album. Prepping in advance & using colour matched journal cards & accessories really speeds things up.

If you're doing December Daily leave me a message - I'd love to see what you did.

Project Life Hello December journal - cover (video)


If you're planning on keeping a December journal you need to prepare well in advance. The first couple of weekends in November are ideal - Christmas ads are all over the telly & it feels kind of festive but you really can't dive headlong into Christmas JUST yet, so treat yourself to a little taster, complete with glitter & sequins & snowflakes.

I decorated the covers of my album this week. I used the December Wonder stamp set for the snowflakes (heat embossed with Iridescent Ice embossing powder). The wood Joy plaque & "remember this" are from the Hello December accessories pack, as are the number stickers. Use Crystal Effects to glue the wood plaque & sequins on & they should stay put. 

I've also made a start on my opening page. 


If you watched the video I posted last week you'll recognise the reindeer from the Boden catalogue.  I popped my Project Llife 3x4 Framelit over him & it cut out to the perfect size for the pocket.

I might add to it as I go along or leave it as it is. My usual style is to embellish each page like I do the front cover, but that's so time consuming that I'm going to make an effort to leave it clean & simple this year. 




Here's what I used:
