December Daily™ 2011 | Studio Calico Kit
Tags:
I'm very excited to announce that I've teamed up with Studio Calico and they will be offering a December Daily™ kit for 2011.
Similar to past years when a kit has been available, I'll be using pieces of the kit in addition to supplementing with products I have here at home and creating printable/digital products available through Designer Digitals. You do not need to have the kit to participate in December Daily™. There have been requests in years past for a kit option so I'm excited to be partnering with Studio Calico to fill that need for those who are interested in purchasing a group of supplies from one retailer.
The thing I'm most excited about this year is that the Studio Calico kit will include an album. (It's actually a jumping up and down kind of excitement.)
Many of you who played along last year (or in past years) have known the struggle of finding/making an album to fit all the pages we create over the 25 days (and even more than 25 for some of you). American Crafts has created an exclusive chipboard binder album that is 3 inches thick - perfect for holding all the good stuff that goes into this album.
The binder measures 9 inches wide x 9.5 inches tall and has a 3-inch spine. Inside the album you'll find 25 page protectors that hold 8.5 x 6 inch pages. In the image above you can see the size of my 2010 album placed inside this new ring binder album.
I'm super excited to see how people decided to decorate this album. So many possibilities on the outside, the inside, and in how you choose to work with (or without) the page protectors.
I'll be updating the December Daily™ printable pages to fit these page protectors and changing the dates for 2011. My hope is to have those available through Designer Digitals either this weekend or next.
Kits will go on sale to Studio Calico subscribers on October 27th at 12:00pm EST and to non-subscribers on October 28th at 12:00am EST.
My hope is to get all my foundation pages completed this week and be ready to share with you next week. Getting all the foundation pages done in advance has always been a big part of enjoying this project during December.
Wondering what a December Daily™ is all about? Check out my December Daily™ compilation page for all the details on this annual project, including links to all my past projects in 2007, 2008, 2009, and 2010.

I've never done December Daily before. I approach it being a little nervous about actually getting it done, but I think this is my year!
I love the idea of a kit, especially the album part of it. I've already been turning ideas around in my head about how to make this project work for me color-wise...we celebrate Christmas AND Hanukkah!
I'm excited to learn how to put the foundation pages together and get it going. ~Jen

I am so excited - my favorite project all year! So happy you were able to make an album happen! I need two as my 2010 DD album is still sitting in a plastic bag since I can't figure out how to bind it :)
Love love love this project and very happy you chose to partner with SC- I subscribe and am a huge fan.
Can't wait to see your foundation pages- It gives me just the jumping off point and excitement I need to get started.

Ali,
If the album only comes with 25 page protectors, Will additional page protectors be available for those of us who document 31 days or have lots of bonus material?
Replies
Great idea Diana - I forgot I did that last year - perfect solution!
You can also cut up baseball card protectors like Ali has done in the past. I usually do that for 2 pages in the album. And you can make your own page protectors.
I don't think so Annette. I've been thinking that I might be mixing things up - some page protectors and some pages just hole=punched and added into the album (like additional transparencies).

Finally - December Daily! I feel like I have been looking forward to this since January, lol. I already have all of my papers purchased and put together in my own "kit". Gotta make myself stick with it instead of ordering the SC kit.

I hope they don't run out, before us non-subscribers can buy it!! I can't wait!!
Replies
They have a certain number that they sell to subscribers, once they are gone, they are gone, then even subscribers may have to order when they go on sale for everyone.
Amanda - Thank you for the tip! I shall be online at midnight to order it! :)

it's awesome! I hope the popularity gets american crafts to offer this album size in the future. I can't justify $80 for a kit when I already have so much to use for DD but that album, wow it's perfect.
Replies
i agree...$80 is a bit steep when i too have lot of product already i can assemble my own DD album with...i found a cute green felt 8x8 album on the making memories online website that i had planned on using and have been gathering my christmas products together...still, it will be fun to see what this kit looks like!
yes $80 plus shipping to Australia...will be close to $160 for us Aussies :(
Diana, Studio Calico ships to all internationals for a flat rate of $17.50 So that will be $97,50 total.
