Last year, I completely pre-assembled my December Daily album and then simply printed the pictures and adhered them in their designated spots. This year, I knew I wanted to be able to incorporate both Instagram photos and photos from my regular camera. This meant I couldn't "designate" spots ahead of time. I made three different covers- I was being unusually indecisive. I first designed a cover and decided it was too small. And the second one I used a completely different product line.
Finally, I went with October Afternoon's "Make it Merry." I am also including bits and pieces from the last two holiday lines from OA. My album is 6"x8". I put together a little December Daily kit so everything was in one spot and hopefully it would be easy to do a few pages at a time.
I cut my filler pages and punched the holes. I used white CS, vellum, gold paper and cardboard. I cut apart all of the pieces of the Make it Merry 12x12, so everything is easy to see, grab and adhere. I also included manila tags and manila scalloped rectangles that I believe are from 7 Gypsies. I have all of my OA holiday labels and buttons out so I can see them. I also have some gold and white ribbon from Recollections at Michael's and AC glitter ribbon, and of course, black and white twine. I also have the new AC holiday date stamp (as if I needed another one of those!)
So, I'm all ready to go. My album is already super thick and I've only done up through December 9th. I just need to find some really big binder rings. I'll share some pictures of the inside soon!
