Ahhh, a messy scrap area is such a lovely sight! I pulled out my Christmas stuff to make a Daily December Album ala Ali Edwards.
Here's my selection of papers after they have been cut to size. I ended up going with a 5" x 7 1/2" size.
Here's the ready to be completed book!
I've only decorated the front cover inside and out. The rest will get done as I add the pictures and journaling.
I know Ali's idea is to have that all done beforehand. But, the stress of having to work around something that I'd already adhered down is worse for me than having to add the numbers and embellies as I go. And Ali's really just all about getting it done with less stress.
I love this velvet flocked paper from Making Memories!
The backs of the die cut and specialty papers will either end up being covered with photos/embellies or painted. Or a little of both. :)
The page on the right is actually clear. I just haven't taken the protective cover off it yet.
This red, cream and blue paper on the left is the back of that great red and cream paper above. I'll either cover it completely with photos or paint it. I'm looking forward to messing around with those baseball card dived page protector that I cut down to size.
That embossed page on the right is actually cream. I love it!
I did include one kraft colored envelope and I'll add more as I go if they're needed.
Another clear page with the protective sheets still on. :)
My other favorite paper is that Making Memories St. Nick Heritage Collage. (I know the name of it because I've been desperately googling it trying to find more online. Sigh, 'tis not to be.)
Are you doing a journal like this for Christmas? :D
