December Daily : Day Four

Ali, how funny - I had pulled out a green felt pocket I had in my stash (from a Cocoa Daisy kit, I believe) that I wanted to use in this project. It is still sitting to the side because I hadn't decided how to incorporate it into my book. I was thinking about punching holes in it, but wasn't totally sold on that idea. Thank you for the inspiration!

Ali - I am so inspired by your album! Thank you for sharing it :)

Sharna - here are the little paper fasteners on the 7gypsies site :

Perfect - thank you five4gena :).

Thanks for sharing each day. I especially appreciate seeing how open you are to changes along the way (removing elements, trimming the page, etc.). I'm such a planner/perfectionist, it's helpful to remember I don't need it all figured out in advance. :)

what fun, inspiring ideas!!! I'm planning on working on my album (day 1-5) tomorrow! this is such a fun project!

Love the pocket...this is my fav page so far.

I second the Wow!
Okay, I have a question: Who takes the pictures of you doing projects using perfectly wonderful wide apertures? I love these of your fingers with your chin blurred out. We know it's you but the focus of the photos is perfect. I wish my hubbie would do that. He loves my photography, but doesn't seem to get it when I show the same things to him on my camera.

I love that you are incorporating Christmas related items that aren't necessarily on the day of your journal - awesome! I love seeing what you do each day!!! :)

the felt pocket is fantastic! i have a lot of felt begging to be used, whew. happy weekend, rachel

Wow! Your album already looks like it came that way! Amazing how you do it with a couple of simple steps!

Ahhh Ali, I love the page with the felt pocket.
I also wondered what you were stringing days ago in that photo...great idea for garland.
Thanks for keeping our wheels turning,

Had a super busy week so hope to get my first 5 days caught up this weekend. Love this project!

Thanks for sharing Ali. I am quite excited about this album and get so much inspiration from your work. My camera goes every where with me.

Hi, Ali. I felt in love by this project since I've seen it for the first time, last month (I became a scrapper this year). Now, I'm doing one for me. You can see it at my blog: http://scrapparty.blogspot.com/2008/12/december-daily-1.html
(there is Google translator at the top of the sidebar)
Thank you for all your inspiration (by the way, I've read two of your books - Life Artist and Sharing your Story)

Oh I love that you used the felt pocket!! I included that same one as one of my pages, and I will definitely keep your idea of the overlay in mind. I love how it looks!
I also love that you used the Santa photos from before the album started, very much goes along with your go with the flow motto and reminds us that the documentation is the priority not trying to be perfect using only pictures from each day on that day only. Very cool.

Ali, your album is so nice and I am enjoying the way you have so many things incorporated into the design.

feeling totally uninspired and moping around the house a little too much this weekend. So, navigated over to your blog. Saw your beautiful pages. And, now, you have helped to get me in motion to head to the store, print out some photos and scrap today.
So... thanks!! You rock!

Very good....

I too, am glad to see that you've shown how to fill in the gaps. We all have days where nothing is appropriate to put in this type of album.
I'm trying to view each day realistically, and realize not everyday of the month can be full of Christmas Cheer.
