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.

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?

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.

Thanks for stopping by!

2013 December Daily: Week 1

Happy Tuesday! About this time every week, I usually post my completed Project Life spreads. Being December, and since I've opted out of doing both December Daily and Project Life this month, I'll instead be sharing the completed weeks in my 2013 DD album!

If you would like to see the details of the album I'm using this year, and I how I put my cover together, check out this post. I even have my completed 2012 DD album here on my blog! To continue my love for Project Life into the month of December, I'll be documenting it daily with a Project Life style pocket system. It's the perfect fit for me!

Here is an introduction to my 2013 December Daily...

2013 DD: The Cover

I'm not a traditional red and green girl when it comes to Christmas. Looking at the cover of my 2013 album clearly shows that! Instead, I incorporated a couple of my favorite things... the color pink and lots of glitter!

2013 DD: The Title Page

For the title page of my album, I used a full-page pocket. I was extremely happy to find a lovely Recollections paper stack [from Michaels] that had my Christmas colors! I cut an 8.5" x 11" sheet down to size, and trimmed the bottom with a complementing piece of scrap paper and narrow black washi tape. I also used glittery red "Jingle" thickers, large puffy "Umbrella" thickers, and some Cosmo Cricket "Dear Mr. Claus" cardstock stickers.

2013 DD: December Calendar

I needed to fill the backside of my title page, so I thought it would be fun to include a December calendar. I didn't have one in last year's album, and I think it's a great addition! Since my calendar is much smaller than my full-page pocket, I cut a sheet of holiday paper [gifted to me by a friend] to size, to act as a mat. I stamped Day 25 with an Ali Edwards heart in red ink.

------------

For this year's daily journaling cards I mixed it up a bit. Some day's I use a 6" x 4" Pebbles inc. journal card, on other day's I have a 3" x 4" card from my stash of free printables. Every day is a different card. But they all show my passion for penmanship and handwriting. For a cohesive look, I named and labeled each one with the same faux calligraphy technique.

This colorful and eclectic album definitely represents our family during the holidays. Filled with precious photos and memories capturing all this wonderful season has to offer, makes it absolutely perfect!

Now onto Days 1 - 6....

DAY 1

"Traditions"

2013 DD: Day 1 | Add-On - Tags & a Pocket for Ephemera

I created a fun add-on page using two Kraft mailing tags that I attached together with washi tape. I reinforced the holes with stickers, and tied them off with some black and white twine. On the front, I made a pocket from holiday scrapbook paper to hold all of the bits and pieces of ephemera collected from Day 1. The back of the add-on holds a 4x4 instagram photo of our stack of books from 25-Books-in-December.

2013 DD: Day 1 - Traditions

I love to take pictures... especially during this time of the year! Doing a PL style album has allowed me to use multiple photos in my daily layouts. To hold my wallet-size instapics, I created a couple of handmade cards using pretty patterned scrapbook paper. I embellished them with some printable elements from my DD collection, and pink Tiny Text alphabet stickers by Cosmo Cricket. I used a red Pebbles inc. journal card to document the details.

DAY 2

"Deck The Halls"

2013 DD: Day 2 - Deck The Halls [Left Page]

I have more handmade cards using paper from my scraps. One holds an instagram photo edited with Photo Grid, and another a printable filler card. I also added my daily number element and a Dymo label to fill some space. To document the day, I used a pink Pebbles inc. journal card.

2013 DD: Day 2 - Deck The Halls [Right Page]

For this stacked 6" x 4" pocket page, I cut another full sheet of gorgeous Recollections paper down to size, and sliced it in half horizontally. Together they make the perfect background for my 4" x 4" instagram pics. I added glittery silver "Sunrise" thickers, black & silver Studio 112 alphabet stickers, and red "Hardcover" thickers along the vertical edge.

DAY 3

"The Tree"

2013 DD: Day 3 - The Tree [Left Page]

I created a handmade card on top using Recollections paper cut down to size. It holds a 4" x 4" instagram pic of our owl tree topper. I embellished the card with glittery white "Delight" thickers, and Cosmo Cricket cardstock stickers of a heart and [half] a doily. For my journaling, I used a red journal card by Pebbles inc.

2013 DD: Day 3 - The Tree [Right Page]

For this page, I have a mix of papers and photos to fill the pockets. The 3" x 4" slots have a handmade card using pretty holiday paper and some printable elements to decorate it. I also added a wallet-size instagram photo. Next is a filler card from my DD stash. In the 6" x 4" pocket, I have a card using more Recollections paper to hold a 4" x 4" instagram pic of our Christmas tree. I embellished it with red "Jingle" thickers, strips of red narrow [Recollections] washi and B&W Cosmo Cricket trim, plus the other half of the doily sticker to tie the pages together.

DAY 4

"Our Card"

2013 DD: Day 4 - Our Card

Both 3" x 4" pockets have a printable journal and filler card from my collection. I made the 6" x 4" card using another design from my Recollections paper stack. I added a 4" x 4" instagram photo of our holiday card, a Cosmo Cricket cardstock tag sticker, and a daily number element. I used "Snowflake" bling to finish it!

DAY 5

"Christmas Music"

2013 DD: Day 5 - Christmas Music

For this 3" x 4" pocket page I have a fun mix of different cards. I used Christmas sheet music paper as the background for a wallet-size instagram photo and the daily number. Following that card are some journal and filler cards from my stash of DD printables. I embellished the reindeer card with a red enamel dot by MME, and layered the Fa La La filler card with a red printable label and AC Remarks alphabet stickers.

DAY 6

"Friday Fun"

2013 DD: Day 6 - Friday Fun

I mixed up the 3" x 4" cards in the pockets of this page too. Another handmade card holds a wallet-size instapic capturing our new book from 25-Books-in-December. I embellished it with a daily number, glittery red "Jingle" thickers, and Studio 112 alphabet stickers. Following is a HoHoHo! filler card, a cutout journal card, and a frame card from my stash of free printables. Another wallet-size instagram photo and a Dymo label complete this page.

That's all I have for you today! Be sure to check back next Tuesday to see this week's completed pages :) I'll be linking up with The Mom Creative today, so be sure to stop by for more inspiration! If you haven't already, feel free to browse my December Daily posts! Want the fun, free printables I used in this week's spread? 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!

Christmas DIY: Activity Advent Calendar

This time of the year is definitely my favorite... and the year long wait it takes to get here is so worth it! Starting in November I plan and gather ideas for December. From daily bible verses and 25-Books-in-December [stay tuned!], to a handmade Activity Advent Calendar like this one.

I chose daily "Activities" rather than a candy or gift calendar. It's much more suited for our fun and active family. Brainstorm ideas that your family likes to do during the season. But don't ever set anything in stone, so it's easy to make changes to scheduling when need be. See how I incorporated my ideas into my Filofax 2013 Holiday Planner. This is the second year doing our Activity Advent Calendar, and it's so much fun! I included a lot of stuff from last year.. and added some new things too!

>> MAKE YOUR CALENDAR <<

I cannot give you a step-by-step of this project, since I made it last year before I started blogging. I do have a few photos that I captured on IG which I'll share with you. They aren't the best quality but they give you a good idea of how this project came together. I'm also including lots of updated images from this year's calendar.

GATHER SUPPLIES

This calendar was made using scraps and leftover bits and pieces from my 2012 Studio Calico December Daily Kit. Along with pretty holiday paper, I also used designs from my year-round collections. I repurposed two sheets of thick 12" x 12" chipboard, pieces of packaging that I saved from paper stacks I bought at Tuesday Morning. They're extremely sturdy and make the perfect "backing" for my calendar. I spritzed them with some of my pink glimmer mist to give it a subtle pop of color.

Using a homemade template with some pretty patterned paper, I created pockets that will hold tags and cards with our daily activities and scriptures. For each pocket, I added a pink number printable [download the set here] which I cut up and modified for this project.

PUT IT TOGETHER

I used some wide pink ribbon to connect the two boards together, punched holes at the top and bottom to attach a ribbon for hanging and a 6" x 4" pocket for Day 25. Each 12" x 12" board holds twelve 3" x 4" pockets perfectly.

HANG IT!

It looks beautiful hanging on the wall with a set of handmade t-shirt pompoms and a big pink bow using the same ribbon from the project.

FILL IT UP

I wrote 25 different activities onto a set of Outnumbered Journaling Cards. They're the perfect size for my pockets. Here is a list of some of the things we're doing this year:

...Read a book, write a letter to grandma, dance to Christmas music, take a photo with Santa, play a game, go on a nature walk, photograph the outdoors, drink hot cocoa together, create something: arts & crafts, buy a present for a loved one, watch holiday movies, build a gingerbread house, do something with Daddy [his choice], make pretty things, write to Santa, bake cookies with Mommy, look at Christmas lights, do something nice [a random act of kindness]....

I attached easy-access washi tape tabs and gold twine to the tags so my little one doesn't have trouble pulling them out. I figure this way, the pockets will last longer so we can enjoy our calendar for many years to come...

Any other ideas? Choose your family's traditions. Things you love to do during this special time of the year. Be creative and have fun with it!

We also read a bible verse together each day in December. I found a list here. When I came across these journaling spots, I knew they would be perfect for this part of the project. The "Story From December" being a bible verse is very fitting. It's nice to remember the true meaning for the season.

ENJOY!

That's all for today! I hope you enjoyed my crafty Christmas post and leave here feeling inspired to create something beautiful this holiday season! I have other fun projects to share with you this month like a customized Christmas Card Holder, and another daily tradition we call 25-Books-in-December. I'm also documenting the month with a December Daily album, so check back often to read about our holiday adventures!

You can find more free DD inspired printables and ideas on my "December Daily" pinboard on Pinterest. I have lots of freebies and inspiration on my "SMASH & PL" and "Printables/Templates" boards too! See how I stay organized through the "Holidaze" with my Filofax planners.

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...

Do we share this Christmas tradition? What's your favorite thing about advent calendars? Any thoughts, questions, or comments about this post? I'd love to hear it! Your feedback is always welcome and much appreciated!

Printables: December

Happy Holidays! It's about that time again.... for my monthly printables post! Last month was just a bit crazy and I didn't get the chance to write my November post, so I decided to combine it with December. In case you missed October's batch, you can find it here.

I first discovered free printables a year and a half ago when I was looking for fun stuff to add to my SMASH* book spreads. Over time I've incorporated them into all of my books because they are incredibly versatile! You will also see them in my Project Life album, handmade Daybooks, and even my Filofax planners.

Early 2013, I decided to share the knowledge I've learned from my printables adventures. So if you've never tried at-home printing or it's something you're curious about, I strongly urge you to read this post. You'll find lots of helpful hints and tips to get you started, including ways to save time and money doing it...

Every month I scour the internet for new free printables to add to my collection. November I was in search of Autumn and Thanksgiving themed journal and filler cards. This month I was looking for Christmas themed items for my December Daily album. Since I only do my printing once a month to save money, I also try to look for things that can be used in all of my books!

Now onto the good stuff....

THANKFUL

Top Left ----> Thanksgiving Cards & Elements from Simple as That

Top Right ----> Blessings Cards & Elements by Kristine Davidson

Bottom Left ----> Fall Colors & Autumn Journal Cards from Wee Share

Bottom Right ----> Thanksgiving Library Cards from Little Birdie Secrets

My printer was running low on colored ink when I printed out this batch of Autumn cards, so the colors on them are more pink than orange and brown as they should be. [I actually don't mind it one bit because pink is my favorite my color!] The elements from Simple as That got printed on Kraft cardstock for a totally different look. There are also a lot more Fall files from Wee Share that I didn't download and print. So be sure to browse the blog for more fun stuff!

HELLO DECEMBER

2013 December Daily Calendar from Stitch in Time

Christmas Subway Art by Eighteen25

Both the 6" x 8" Dec. calendar and subway art print are going into my December Daily album. They'll fit right into the full page pockets. The subway art print comes in a variety of colors, so choose one that will fit with your theme. You can also print it full size and add it to a frame for wall decor!

MERRY CARDS

Holiday Recipe Card from Reasons To Skip The Housework

Merry & Bright Cards by 36th Avenue

The reason I printed these is because I'm adding a recipe card to my December Daily album. Of course, you can also use it for Christmas recipes and stick it right into your recipe box. The Merry & Bright cards come in a set of 4, as well as an 8" x 10" print that you can frame. I'm using these cards as holiday decoration in my Filofax, and I also cut one down to 3" x 4" size for a filler card in my December Daily. You can even use them with your other holiday supplies to make pretty handmade Christmas cards!

JOURNAL CARDS

I'm always on the lookout for fun journal cards to add to my collection, and these are perfect to use in this year's December Daily album! My favorite from this batch are the Christmas Twist cards by Miss Tiina. She's one of my favorite designers of free printables! Be sure to browse Scrapbook Printables blog too, because this month there are lots more goodies to print and download! I think this year the To-Go Cup cards have a new design...

FILLER CARDS

Holiday Cards by Becky Higgins

The Newborn King by My Fabuless Life

December Calendar Card by My Renvironment

Merry Everything by Secrets of a Modern Mama

Scrooge Quote from A Pop of Pretty

Grinch Quote via Pinterest

YUM by Trisha Grace

I love typography and like to use them as filler cards! They're perfect for filling up those extra pockets in Project Life or December Daily. A few of these, like the cards by Becky Higgins, the Dec. calendar card, and the YUM card were made for Project Life, and sized 3" x 4". The others were originally larger art prints that I resized to fit in the pockets of my December Daily album. 

With the Becky Higgins cards, I'm only showing the ones I printed to use in my album, but there are more designs that come in the set. The December calendar card comes in 4 colors, so choose one that works with your theme. And the Merry Everything card also has more designs, pick your favorite!

ELEMENTS

FA LA LA LA Set by My Digital Art Studio [on Facebook]

Merry Christmas Set by Heidi Swapp

December Daily Numbers by Odrai

Every month when I search for free printables I try to include a batch of cool elements. Since I print once a month, I need my stuff to go the extra mile. These are definitely the most versatile pieces! I love using elements like this in my Filofax, and as embellishments on the cards and pages of my Project Life album and SMASH* books. I was extremely happy to find a set of numbers to use in my December Daily album, but my favorite are the fun tags by Heidi Swapp! Aren't they lovely?

[See how I use this fun stuff in my December Daily albums.]
