December Daily Album

Having an advent calendar is like having feeding your child sugar without actually doing it. I am serious. First I hear pitter-patter feet of my preschool running to the advent first thing in the morning and realizing that there are only two more days until Christmas, then, the screaming and extreme excitement while running circles around the house begins. It really is magical and frightening all at the same time. ;)

I love that I didn't purchase anything special for my album this year. I told myself that I couldn't. The last two years I did and didn't finish my album. I couldn't even get past day three. ;)

I used a summer rubon and took out the word "summer" and wrote in "season." Hey, it works...

This lovely transparency is I-don't-know-how-old along with Teresa Collins' Christmas pocket from last year. I also added a Fourth of July border. Ha!

This beautiful journaling card is used as pattern paper because Debee Ruiz is brilliant. Here is her shop. (Which is closed for the moment because of maternity leave/vacation. Make sure you take a peek at her new little baby boy!)

My sis gave me a handful of these snowflakes. She used them for a project and gave me the rest. I have been filling my album with these sparklies...

Create Well: Half the fun in creating a mini book is using up your stash. Seeing the piles of scraps go down is always a bonus!
