Today I worked with a baseball card page protector that was cut down to fit inside the 8x8 page protector that came with the album I am using. I really like keeping a couple of them "open" to the pages that follow.
Here's a look at the page inside the album:
Here's the before image:
And here's a look at what the photo I put on the back of Day One:
SUPPLIES : Holiday Outline Word Art: Ali Edwards
I was thinking this morning about the process of building my December Daily. I was thinking how I don't always love the individual pages but what I do love is the totality of the project, the end result. Don't let a lack of love for any one page keep you from moving forward and don't let a quest to make it all perfect stop you from documenting the goodness of the season.
As I begin opening up my Christmas tubs and transforming our home into a den of twinkle lights I am reminded how much I love to savor this season.
Bring on the twinkle.
I also have a few new holiday things available at Designer Digitals:
A second volume of December Daily templates to go along with the first.
If you need some simple gift tags I created a new set that are now available at Designer Digitals. The downloadable file includes PDF files that are all set up and ready to be printed (in red & green). These were all punched with a Marvy 2-Inch circle punch.
If you are still looking for fun digital or printable numbers to add to your December Daily these Half-Circle Number Embellishments I released back in July would also work really well.
I posted a video tutorial on how to work with these elements here.
In addition I put together a short tutorial on working with the 25 Days of December overlays that I used on my photo in Day One. You can click on the link below to see a larger version.

This post is part of a series documenting the month of December 2009. You find out more information and view all the completed pages of my album here.

Thank you so much for the video tutorial. I have owned elements for 2 years and do nothing with it except crop and print because I don't know how to use it.
I've been wanting some of your overlays but didn't know how to use them.
Now I'm going shopping WOOHOOO!

With the help of some of your other pse tips, I managed to recolor and add type to the overlays but I just couldn't figure out how to get one onto a photo. It is no longer a mystery! I really appreciate this tutorial. Thank you.

Thanks so much for that bit about not loving certain pages individually, but loving the way it all comes together as a whole. It was just what I needed to hear today. So, thank you!

I have gotten so much inspiration from you and this great idea - I have totally changed my perspective on scrapbooking - I've decided to do this project this year, after a year of thinking about it... It really doesn't matter how beautiful it is, I know that in years to come, I will enjoy sitting down with my kids and discussing the memories that we will now remember, that we more than likely would have forgotten. Thank you so much for being such a great inspiration! You can see my results on my blog so far - http://simplydelightfuldesigns.com/blog Merry Christmas!
