December Daily : Day Four

Wow! Just wow.

I think this is my favorite page so far, it's gorgeous and so creative. I am doing mine digitally this year, and purchased several of your digital designs that you posted about a few posts ago. I'm a new digi scrapbooker, and am sort of confused on how to put together the pages to create a scrapbook page for each day (for example, I purchased the december daily template package, and am confused on where to start). I'm already 5 days behind, lol. Are there any posts where to talk about working with these layers in Photoshop? Excuse me if you have already answered this question. Thanks Ali!

I love these. It seems that this year you are playing more and adding more decorative content than I remember you doing last year--it's still very modern and clean, but I'm referring to all the pages that don't actually have pictures or journaling or memorabilia on them. Do you agree? They're lovely either way.
I'm wondering if you removed the little Xmas tree with the 4 on it or just covered it up?

Becca - here's a link for some tutorials and more information for you: /hybriddigital-scrapbookin.html

Noell - I removed the little tree. I definitely had some pages mixed in last year that were more decorative rather than documenting anything specific. I think as the month goes on there will be more photos and stories - especially once Simon is out of school. I am enjoying playing with the products :).

When I saw these rubber stamps I thought you'd like them:

This is so adorable. Thank you for sharing the completed pages- such inspiration!

So cute - hope to pick up some of my pictures this weekend and put it all together - documents are done - just waiting the good stuff.
Have a great weekend. Excited to see the posts throught the weekend.

Ali,
Your Dec book is beautiful as to be expected! I have a ton of Christmas photos from Christmases past that I'm planning to consolidate in one or two Christmas albums. Your pages have been a source of inspiration for me (they always are!) and I printed out every single page of your 2007 one from Flicker. Now, I can't wait to get mine started.
Ali, when you get a chance, would you mind providing me with the source for your Dec book materials. Should I just go page by page and buy each separately or is there a kit for most of them?
Thanks as always for a beautiful, inspirational and creative site!

Wow. What a yummy book. I just love everything you've done. You have such an amazing eye for coming up with the perfect pages. :)
Love it, love it, love it.
Thanks so much for sharing.

Lizacreates - thanks for the comments. I try to link each product used to a place where they are available for purchase. There is a not a kit for this project as I am creating it as I go - I encourage people to use what they have on hand if at all possible :). Part of the fun of this project is mixing and matching different products and embellishments.

Am loving this project Ali! Love the felt pocket and the Remember This with Santa. Too funny, I was laying in bed last night (with the flu) and trying to figure out a way to incorporate the transparency downloads from the Big Picture Scrapbooking 7Gypsies project into the December Daily (did this class- loved it btw).

I love that pocket!!! What a great idea!
It's so comforting for me that you are flexible with this entry...that it isn't technically a memory from the 4th...but you are putting it there anyway. Yesterday I had a no-Christmas-Spirit-in-sight type of stinker day and I wondered what to do in my little book. But I have a feeling that EVERYONE will have a few of those days this month and that that's okay...and just part of how this season rolls.
Thanks again, Ali!

So so so so great!

Ali, you continue to inspire me. Have a delightful weekend.

You are so generous and sharing all that you do! Thanks for that! Can you tell me what product you used for those little metal (are they clips?) pieces crimped around the Simon & Santa insert?
Merry Christmas!!

I'm loving this book!

Love, love the felt pocket! So pretty!

Thank you for the link Ali!

Hey Sharna - I am not sure where they came from. They are in a small metal container with a clear glass lid. They pinch together and seemed to work great for attaching the transparency on the photo. Anyone seen these before?
