2013 December Daily: Week 4


There isn't a greater feeling than one of accomplishment. And I'm so happy that all of last year's projects are done! So today, I'll be sharing the last week of my completed 2013 December Daily album :) In case you missed it, here is Week 1, Week 2, and Week 3. I also have my 2012 DD on my blog if you're looking for more inspiration!

Now onto Days 20 - 25...

DAY 20
"Mommy Time"

2013 DD: Day 20 - Mommy Time

In the 3x4 pockets, I have a printable filler card and a handmade card using Studio Calico holiday paper. I added a wallet-size instagram photo of the end result from my day with my Silhouette Cameo. My 6x4 journal card is by Pebbles inc.

DAY 21
"Book-A-Day"

2013 DD: Day 21 - Book-A-Day

Here I used a Crate Paper journal card to document the day's details. Following that is a fun filler card from my stash of free printables. Next I have a handmade card using Recollections holiday cardstock. I added a 4x4 instagram photo of my daughter and her new favorite book, a Heidi Swapp printable element, and the daily number tag.

DAY 22
"Pretty Presents"

2013 DD: Day 22 - Pretty Presents

The 3x4 journal card and filler card are both printable freebies. For the 6x4 card, I used some pretty patterned paper by Colorbok. It wasn't from a holiday set, but the colors work perfectly. I added a 4x4 instapic of some beautifully wrapped presents under our tree, black and silver Studio 112 alphabet stickers, a dimensional sticker, and the daily number tag.

DAY 23
"Currently"

2013 DD: Day 23 - Currently

Since this is my favorite time of the year, I thought it would be fun to document specific details about this moment in time. In the tall, slender pocket I have solid pink Recollections holiday paper, the daily number tag, and I used an American Crafts Precision Pen to write some faux calligraphy. The square pockets have holiday cardstock that I cut to size and a printable filler card. On top, I added a screenshot from the Fling Weather app on my Galaxy S3. In the other, I used some tiny rubber alphabet stamps for some prompts and my AC pen for the journaling.

DAY 24
"Christmas Eve" 

2013 DD: Day 24 - Christmas Eve [Left Page]

I used more square printables in the pockets on this page. The filler card works wonderfully with the 4x4 instagram photo of my loves. In the tall, skinny pocket I used more pretty paper from Recollections. I embellished it simply with tiny, pink bling.

2013 DD: Day 24 - Christmas Eve [Right Page]

Continuing the day with another page, I have a printable filler card in one 3x4 pocket, and a handmade card that holds a wallet-size instagram photo in the other. I chose not to embellish it with anything else but the daily number tag. For the day's details I used a red Pebbles inc. journal card.

DAY 25
"Christmas Day"

2013 DD: Day 25 - Christmas Day

I have another double-page spread for today. The first pocket has a handmade card using fun, glittery cardstock that was gifted to me by a friend. I added a wallet-size instapic of our tree on Christmas morning, and "Elf" thickers for the title. Next is a printable filler card from my stash of DD printables. The journal card printable was a bit on the small side, so I used pink Recollections cardstock as a mat.

2013 DD: Day 25 - Christmas Day [Right Page]

I mixed up the cards and photos in this last pocket page. First is a handmade card using pink holiday Recollections cardstock. I added another wallet-size instapic, the daily number tag, and glittery white "Delight" thickers. Next are a couple of printable filler cards that work fabulously with the colors in my Christmas theme. Last I have an adorable 3x4 photo of my daughter enjoying her new toys.

That's all I have for today! For more inspiration, feel free to browse all of the December Daily posts on my blog! Want the fun, free printables I used in today's post? You can find some of them in my Printables: December blogpost, or on my "December Daily" pinboard on Pinterest. 

Be sure to stay tuned, because in a of couple of days I'll be sharing my setup for 2014 Project Life. And next week you'll see my very first Project Life layout of the year! Stay updated with my recent posts, projects, and photos by following me on instagram, or by "liking" my fan page on Facebook. So why not head over there now and show some love...

2013 December Daily: Week 3


Hello 2014 and Happy New Year everyone! This week I'm working on finishing up and sharing the remaining pages of my 2013 December Daily album :) Today you'll be seeing Week 3, but here is Week 1 & Week 2 in case you missed it. I also have my 2012 DD on my blog if you're looking for more inspiration!

Now onto Days 14 - 19...

DAY 14
"Our Cookie House"

2013 DD: Day 14 - Our Cookie House

For this page I used a red Pebbles inc. journal card for the details, and cut some pretty Recollections holiday paper to create my filler card. I added a couple of wallet-size instagram photos capturing the day's memories of building our first Hello Kitty Cookie House! To embellish the card, I chose some adorable dimensional Hello Kitty holiday stickers from my collection.

DAY 15
"A New Favorite"

2013 DD: Day 15 - A New Favorite

Here I used a fun journal card printable to document the details of the day. I created a handmade card using some Christmas cardstock that a friend gifted to me. I added a single wallet-size instapic, red paper tape that I cut into a banner, filmstrip washi, glittery red "Jingle" thickers, a Dymo label, and the daily number tag.

2013 DD: Full Page Pocket - Subway Art Printable

Next I used a full-page pocket to showcase a favorite subway art print that I found this season. Pink textured Bazzill cardstock acts as a mat for my free printable. I added a couple of strips of holiday washi tape for decoration.

DAY 16
"Happy Mail"

2013 DD: Day 16 - Happy Mail

Using the pink cardstock from the previous page to act as the background, I added a 4x3 card [RAK'D to me] for my journaling, a wallet-size instapic of my awesome free goodies, a large Hello Kitty embellishment that a sweet friend made me on her Cameo, and "Elf" thickers & Studio 112 alphabet stickers for the title.

DAY 17
"Dear Santa"

2013 DD: Day 17 - Add On: Handmade String-Tie Envelope

I created a 4x6 string-tie envelope using Kraft cardstock, pink holiday paper scraps, mini brads, and pink & white twine. I added a printable mailing label to the front of my handmade envelope. This holds my daughter's letter to Santa.

2013 DD: Day 17 - Dear Santa

This next page I mixed up the cards a bit, but went with a cohesive red and white theme indicative of Santa. The first pocket holds a North Pole filler card, and is followed by a fun printable journal card. I used my white gel pen to write the details. I kept the 6x4 card pretty simple, only adding the daily number tag, glittery gold "Boho" thickers, a Cosmo Cricket "Mr. Claus" cardstock sticker tag, and a MME "Winter Wonderland" enamel dot.

DAY 18
"Kid Craft"

2013 DD: Day 18 - Kid Craft

First, I cut some Studio Calico holiday cardstock to hold a wallet-size photo of my daughter enjoying a day of fun. In the next pocket, I used the double-sided card from the previous day as the background. I added a wallet-size instagram photo edited with the new A Beautiful Mess app recently released on Android. I finished off the card with the daily number tag and glittery silver "Sunrise" thickers. I did something different for my usual journal card and chose a holiday recipe card instead. It's the perfect way to document the day! An American Crafts Christmas roller date stamp marks the date.

DAY 19
"Ohana"

2013 DD: Day 19 - Ohana

The 3x4 pockets hold a printable journal card and lovely filler card from my collection. For the 6x4 card, I used pretty Recollections holiday paper, a 4x4 instagram photo, the daily number tag, glittery white "Delight" thickers, and a red Cosmo Cricket "Mr. Claus" heart sticker.

That's all I have for you today! Be sure to check back tomorrow, because I'll be showing the remaining pages of my 2013 December Daily album! For even more inspiration, feel free to browse all of the December Daily posts on my blog! Want the fun free printables I used in today's post?

Filofax: Week 52


Hello! It's time for my end of the week Filofax post :) I use both an A5 and Personal planner to help me stay organized. Feel free to take a peek inside my A5 Original & Personal Domino. You can also find last week's post here.

Filofax: Week 52 in My A5 Original & Personal Domino

For now, I'll just give you a quick breakdown of what I use my Personal and A5 Filofax for. Both follow the same color-coding system. My [Personal] Domino holds all of my personal notes, family details, appointments/events, paydays & bills, contacts, as well as notes specific to my A5. For my blog and Project Life planning, crafts, online order tracking, and Household stuff [such as chore lists, menu planning, and important financial details], I use my A5. Since my Personal FF is my everyday planner, I duplicate some entries into it because I like knowing exactly what I have going on in that part of my life.

Filofax: Week 52 in My Personal Domino

It was a pretty busy week in my Personal planner, but with the help of my color-coding system I had no problem staying on top of my holiday plans and projects, daily routines, and other extra little details. For decorations, I used gray chevron tape by The Paper Studio [from Hobby Lobby] and a red patterned washi called "Smells Like Honolulu" from Downtown Tape. In honor of Christmas, I added some extra embellishments like fun holiday stickers that were gifted to me last holiday season, and a cute Project Life filler card from my stash of December Daily supplies. I also have a Martha Stewart dewdrop [which I move from week to week] for a little reminder, and a pink up&up (Target) magnetic clip to hold my pages together. A Paper Addict dashboard sits right between my week to hold important sticky notes.

The WO2P inserts I'm using were created by my friend Cathy V. of Paper Addict. You can download them here. I've been using them for about 6 months and really enjoy how roomy they are! There's plenty of space for all of the details, especially on the busy weekends.

Filofax: Week 52 in My A5 Original

In my A5 Original I'm using No. 2105-2013 WO1P inserts by Paige Paigen. I've been using them for the last few months, and at first I didn't think I would enough space for all of my notes. But they surprised me! I have more than enough room for the specifics I like to document in this part of my life.

I don't do much decorating on the pages of my A5, besides the usual washi tape. For a cohesive look in both planners, I used the same patterns and designs that I have in my Personal. I also added a couple of tiny holiday stickers to mark Christmas day. There is a Paper Addict dashboard [that I customized] in my A5 too for important sticky notes.

GOODBYE 2013
Filofax: December Calendar in My Personal Domino

Filofax: December Calendar in My A5 Original

That's all I have for you today! I hope you enjoyed my last Filofax post of 2013 :) You can browse all of this year's layouts here. Be sure to check back next week to see my setup and inserts for 2014! If you're looking for more planner inspiration, take a peek at my "Filofax Addict" pinboard on Pinterest. You can find the fun free Christmas printables I used in this week's spread on my "December Daily" board! I also have more awesome freebies on my "PL & SMASH*" and "Printables/Templates" pinboards! Feel free to pin away!

You can stay updated on my recent posts, projects, and photos by following me on instagram, and by "liking" my fan page on Facebook. So why not head over there now and show some love...

Filofax: Week 51


Hello! It's time for my end of the week Filofax post :) As you can see, I use both an A5 and Personal planner to stay organized. Feel free to take a peek inside my A5 Original & Personal Domino. And in case you missed last week's post, you can find it here.

Filofax: Week 51 in A5 Original & Personal Domino

For now, I'll just give you a quick rundown of what I use my A5 and Personal Filofax for. Both follow the same color-coding system. My [Personal] Domino holds all of my personal notes, family details, appointments/events, paydays & bills, contacts, as well as notes specific to my A5. For my blog and Project Life planning, crafts, online order tracking, and Household stuff [such as chore lists, menu planning, and important financial details], I use my A5. Since my personal FF is my everyday planner, I duplicate some entries from my A5 into it because I like knowing exactly what I have going on in that part of my life.

Filofax: Week 51 in My Personal Domino

This week in my Personal planner was pretty busy! Apart from my usual daily routines, I also had lots of holiday projects and to-dos on my agenda. The color-coding system I use really helps me stay on top of things! For decorations, I used a couple of my favorite tapes. I picked up the black and pink star washi from Paper Addict back in 2012. The B&W camera washi is another favorite that I picked up last year from The Beary Scrap. I also have a Martha Stewart dewdrop [which I move from week to week], a Christmas filler card from my December Daily stash, and an up&up (Target) magnetic clip to hold my pages together. A Paper Addict dashboard sits right between my week to hold important sticky notes.

The WO2P inserts I'm using were created by my friend Cathy V. of Paper Addict. You can download them here. I've been using them for six months and enjoy how roomy and spacious they are... especially on those busy weekends!

Filofax: Week 51 in My A5 Original

It was equally busy in my A5 too! I had the usual notes about my blog posts and weekly projects, along with extra tasks and to-dos for Christmas. But there are times when I don't get to everything on my agenda, so I use super handy transparent sticky flags to mark changes in my scheduling.

As for decorations, you won't see much on the pages of my A5 but washi tape. This week I have a red and silver theme continued from last week's page. Freckled Fawn chevron tape lines the bottom, and wide "Love" tape [from Paper Addict] that I cut into a banner is on top. Another Paper Addict dashboard [which I customized] sits right between my weeks. I also have another Christmas filler card and up&up magnetic clip here too!

The WO1P inserts I'm using is No. 2105-2013 by Paige Paigen. I've only been using them for a few months, and the biggest problem I thought I would have with them is space. It took me a while to get used to having my week on a single page too! But as you can see, even on my busiest weeks I have more than enough room for all of the details.

A Sneak Peek at My Current Week

That's it for today! You can view all of my previous Filofax layouts here. If you haven't already, check out my A5 Original & Personal Domino! If you're looking for more planner inspiration, feel free to browse my "Filofax Addict" pinboard on Pinterest. You can find the fun free Christnas printables I used in this week's spread on my "December Daily" pinboard. I also have more awesome freebies on my "SMASH* & PL" and "Printables/Templates" boards! Have fun and pin away!

2013 December Daily: Week 2


Happy Tuesday! I usually post my completed Project Life layouts during this time, but since I've opted out of doing PL this month, I'm sharing my December Daily. This year I carried on my love for Project Life with a pocket style album ;)

Today I'll be sharing Week 2 of my December Daily, but here is Week 1 in case you missed it. I also have my 2012 DD here on my blog if you're looking for more inspiration!

Now onto Days 7 - 13....

DAY 7
"Netflix"
2013 DD: Day 7 - Netflix

For this page I used a December calendar card and printable journal card from my DD collection. I thought "outside the box" and chose not use a photograph. Instead I added a snippet of our instant queue on Netflix, captured on our laptop. Those same everyday life moments that I love documenting in Project Life, had to be applied to my December Daily, too :) The only embellishment I added to this layout is the daily number tag.

DAY 8
"Pinspired"
2013 DD: Day - Pinspired [Left Page]

I mixed up my cards a bit for the left page. First is a handmade card using holiday paper from Studio Calico. It holds a wallet-size instagram photo of one of my favorite handmade decorations inspired by Pinterest. Next is a fun free printable from my Project Life stash. It may not be Christmas themed, but the colors and design works perfectly here! Last is a red Pebbles inc. journal card for the day's details.

2013 DD: Day 8 - Where We Stand [Right Page]

I made Day 8 two pages because I thought I would have more photos specifically for my "Pinspired Crafts." Instead, a day of running errands gave me a great photo op with my daughter. I loved the pic so much that I had to include it to our December Daily! The 4x4 instagram photo fits perfectly into the theme of the foundation pages. For the long, slender pocket on the left, I added some tall birch tree cardstock stickers from "Winter Wonderland" by TPC Studio. It looks great with the outdoorsy photo titled "Where We Stand" and the Christmas bird image on the 4x4 filler card. I used more Studio Calico and other holiday paper to create the cards on this page. The daily number tag completes it.

DAY 9
"Special Delivery"
2013 DD: Day 9 - Special Delivery

For the cards on this page I used some fun holiday cardstock that was gifted to me by a friend. One holds a 4x4 instapic of our batch of addressed Christmas cards. The other has the daily number tag and a printable banner from my collection. I made the 4x4 journaling card using Kraft cardstock and my favorite pens. For the silver frame around the card I used a metallic paint marker, and for the journaling I used my white gel pen.

DAY 10
"A Warm Drink"
2013 DD: Day 10 - A Warm Drink

First I have a printable filler card, followed by a handmade card using more Studio Calico holiday paper. It holds a wallet-size instagram photo of my eco-cup of hot chocolate sitting next to my DD and Filofax. To embellish that card, I used the daily number tag, My Mind's Eye enamel dots, and cardstock stickers by Cosmo Cricket. For the journal card I have another free printable that I mounted onto Kraft cardstock. Green argyle tape layered with narrow red washi adds the finishing touch.

DAY 11
"Create"
2013 DD: Day 11 - Create

This is probably my favorite layout from the week... mostly because of the pink! I used another printable freebie for my journaling, and made the next card with pretty pink Recollections holiday paper and a Heidi Swapp printable element. I have even more pink in the 4x6 card made from textured cardstock by Bazzill. It holds a couple of wallet-size instagram photos capturing our "Art Day." I embellished it with a "Sleigh Ride" brad by Crate Paper and a large sequin that came with last year's Studio Calico DD Kit. I also used glittery "Sunrise" thickers, and finished the card with a daily number tag.

DAY 12
"Hello Santa"
2013 DD: Day 12 - Hello Santa

I mixed up the cards a bit here, too. First I have a handmade card using Studio Calico holiday paper. It has a wallet-size photo of our daughter with Santa, that I edited in instagram. The only embellishments I added was the daily number tag, and a wooden silver heart that a friend gave me last Christmas. Next is a quote that I printed on Kraft cardstock. I used a red Pebbles inc. journal card to document the details.

DAY 13
"From Grandma"
2013 DD: Day 13 - From Grandma

For the first card I have a freebie that I backed with Kraft cardstock. Following that is a handmade card using more Studio Calico holiday paper. It holds another wallet-size instagram photo of a lovely care package sent to us by my Grandma. I also added some gold and white Dear Lizzy alphabet stickers and the daily number tag. Lastly, I have a printable journal card that was a bit on the small size, so I mounted it onto some Christmas cardstock by Recollections.

That's all I have for you today! Be sure to check back next Tuesday to see this week's completed pages. For more inspiration, feel free to browse the December Daily posts on my blog! Want the fun, free printables I used in today's post? You can find some of them in my Printables: December blogpost, or on my "December Daily" pinboard on Pinterest. And see how I'm staying organized with December Daily using my 2013 Holiday Planner!

Filofax: Week 50


Hello Lovelies! It's time for my end of the week Filofax post :) I use both an A5 and Personal planner to organize my life. Feel free to take a peek inside my A5 Original & Personal Domino! You can also find last week's post here.

Filofax: Week 50 in My A5 Original & Personal Domino

For now, I'll just give you a quick breakdown of what I use my Personal and A5 Filofax for. Both follow the same color-coding system. My [Personal] Domino holds all of my personal notes, family details, appointments/events, paydays & bills, contacts, as well as notes specific to my A5. For my blog and Project Life planning, crafts, online order tracking, and Household stuff [such as chore lists, menu planning, and important financial details], I use my A5. Since my Personal FF is my everyday planner, I duplicate some entries from my A5 into it because I like knowing exactly what I have going on in that part of my life.

Filofax: Week 50 in My Personal Domino

This week in my Domino was pretty busy, but with the help of my color-coding system I had no problem staying on top of all my projects, daily routines, and other extra little details that I like to note. For decorations, I used red chevron tape by Freckled Fawn and narrow snowflake washi by American Crafts. For the finishing touch I added a Christmas tag from my stash of free December Daily printables. I have a pink up&up (Target) magnetic clip to hold my pages together, and a Martha Stewart dewdrop [which I move from week to week] for a little reminder. A Paper Addict dashboard sits right between my week to hold important sticky notes.

The WO2P inserts I'm using were created by my friend Cathy V. of Paper Addict. You can download them here. I've been using them for about half of 2013 and really enjoy how spacious and roomy they are!

Week 50 in My A5 Original

In my A5 Original, I'm using No. 2105-2013 WO1P inserts by Paige Paigen. I've been using these for a few months, and in the beginning I didn't think I would have enough space for all of my notes. It took me a little while to get used to having my page on a single week too, but now that I've been using them for a while they work perfectly fine for my needs... even on my busiest weeks!

I don't do much decorating on the pages of my A5, besides some pretty washi for inspiration. I'm using the same chevron tape I did in my Personal Domino, along with some red narrow Recollections washi and wide silver "Love" tape that I picked up last year from Paper Addict. Here I also added a Christmas tag from my printables stash. I have an up&up magnetic clip in this planner to hold my pages together, and a Paper Addict dashboard [which I customized] sits right between my weeks.

A Sneak Peek at My Current Week in My Personal Filofax

That's all I have for you today! Feel free to browse all of my previous layouts here. If you're looking for more planner inspiration, check out my "Filofax Addict" pinboard on Pinterest. You can find the fun, free Christmas printables I used in this week's post on my "December Daily" pinboard. I also have more awesome freebies on my "SMASH* & PL" and "Printables/Templates" boards! Pin away and enjoy!

You can stay updated on all of my recent posts, projects, and photos by following me on instagram, or by "liking" my fan page on Facebook. So why not head over there now and show some love...

Crafts: A Pinspired Christmas


Happy Saturday! Hope you're enjoying the weekend. I don't know about you, but I love Christmastime! It's my most favorite time of the year. From the holiday movies and twinkling lights, to the crisp winter air and handmade Christmas decorations! Everything about this season brings me great joy, and being able to experience all of this with my loved ones is truly a blessing.

When it comes to adding a holiday touch to our home, I try to include as many handmade DIY projects as possible. Don't get me wrong, I love buying store-bought stuff! Our home has them too. But nothing beats a handmade creation for your family to enjoy for years to come....

With the internet at our fingertips, it's never hard to find ideas and inspiration for ways to personalize your holiday home. And today I'm giving you glimpse into our home to see some of the fun projects I've made to decorate it... each one inspired by Pinterest!

ACTIVITY ADVENT CALENDAR
Pinspired Christmas: Activity Advent Calendar

This is a handmade activity advent calendar that I created for my 4-year-old daughter. You can find my DIY here. It's our second year doing it, and although the calendar stays the same, the activities and the cards you write them on can be changed and customized year after year.

WORD ART
Pinspired Christmas: Christmas Subway Art

A simple and inexpensive way to decorate your home is by switching out some of your photos with fun Christmas art prints. There are so many different designs and styles available [free] on the internet, that you can change them out each year. Here is the Christmas Rules subway art print I used. Mine is displayed in a large black 8x10 frame.

25-BOOKS-IN-DECEMBER
Pinspired Christmas: 25-Books-in-December

Here is another fun project that we continued from last year! I think it's my little one's favorite :) If you have a child that shares a love for reading, it's definitely something to add to your family's list of traditions! You can find all of the details about my 25-Books-in-December here.

CHRISTMAS CARD HOLDER
Pinspired Christmas: Handmade Card Holder

This is one of my favorite handmade Christmas projects! Besides it being super simple to create, I loved using supplies from my stash to customize it to fit our holiday theme. I'll be sharing my DIY next week, so stay tuned to see how I made it!

SANTA'S KEY
Pinspired Christmas: Santa's Key

I think this is the most special handmade Christmas decoration. When I saw it on Pinterest last year, I knew I had to recreate it for our family. It only took a few supplies to make, but the message speaks plenty. I love it!

The hardest thing about this project was finding "the key". I snagged this big glittery gold key ornament from Target. Isn't it perfect? Next, I cut a large tag from Kraft cardstock and printed up a card with the following text:

"Dear Santa,
This magic key works just for you,
Please open the door and come on through.
Thank you for coming to our house tonight.
We are celebrating the birth of Jesus Christ.
Thank you Santa for the gifts you bring,
Thank you Lord for everything."

I added the card to the Kraft tag, and tied on some pretty ribbon to complete it. This piece hangs on the doorknob of our front door for everyone to see.

CHRISTMAS PRINTS
Pinspired Christmas: Christmas Art Printables

This is another freebie that I displayed in one of our silver frames. You can download the "Believe" print here. There are so many beautiful designs online that it's so hard to choose just a few! But I have to say, it really is a simple and frugal way to decorate. With the endless Christmas prints on Pinterest, you can easily change up your displays year after year!

I hope you enjoyed today's post and leave here feeling inspired to create something beautiful this holiday season! If you're looking for more crafty Christmas decor inspiration, check out my "Holidays" pinboard on Pinterest! I also have more fun free holiday printables on my "December Daily" pinboard! Feel free to pin away!

You can stay updated on my recent posts, projects, and photos by following me on instagram or by "liking" my fan page on Facebook. So why not head over there now and show some love....

Were you inspired by Pinterest this season? Tried any of these projects? Any thoughts, questions, or comments about this post? I'd love to hear it! Your feedback is always welcome and much appreciated!
