December Daily™ 2011 | Studio Calico Kit
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.
The suspense is just about killing me -- so excited to start this project. I've been doing these ever since the beginning and it is my favorite project of the entire year! Thanks for all the inspiration, Ali! Can't wait to see your foundation pages.

I am so excited about this DD kit! Being that I am not a SC kit subscriber, I am very nervous that I am going to miss out on this kit.
Ali or anyone else, do you know the stock staus of this kit? Do you know if there is sufficient quantities to meet the possible high demand of this?
Thanks!
Andrea
It should be all good Andrea -

I'm going to try this one too.... What's it like to have older kids not at home; one of whom actually works in retail and has already announced no time off; and your mother-in-law is coming -- she travels among her 5 kids so it's only once in 5 years! Maybe a page on what should we do: National Christmas tree? Where to go to Mass? A Christmas Carol at Ford's Theatre? What's showing at the Kennedy Center? Decorations at Mt Vernon? How much does she like to walk these days? fun fun fun!!

Love the look of this album but bummed it's not sold separately! Can't afford the kit. :(

I am going to do this for the first time this year. I purchased the overlays on DD but am wondering if you are going to do new templates or will the 6 x8 ones work--I noticed the overlays are a half inch bigger and wasn't sure if it would work.
Thanks Candy
Hi Candy - I'm making up some new ones now. Technically you could stretch the 6x8 ones (I'd hide any text on the templates so as not to stretch out the word art) to make them 8.5.

Thanks so much I'll wait for the new ones! I am too new at this to try to change anything--thanks for being so responsive! I know how busy you are.

I'm so excited about this! This is my first time doing a December Daily album. I went through all my stuff last night, pulled out all my Xmas supplies, and trimmed all my papers. :)

[...] white on white it’s a bit of a challenge to photograph, but you’ll get the idea. The chipboard album I’m using is available as part of a December Daily kit through Studio Calico. Kits go on sale [...]

Yup, I am hooked on DD. So much so, that I already have skeleton albums through to 2013...the process of making them was so gratifying that I couldn't stop after my first last year. You inspired me Ali. Thanks!

Hello Ali,
Last year, I was very intrigued by yer DD project, many of my craft friends joined the DD gang, this yr, I'm on it too! I have even bought my DD kit from SC :) oh it's on! My question is, if we were to add on my pages to the DD kit, where could we purchase more of the page protectors? I'm very excited, and I've got my spiffy Instax for the pics :)
Thanks for hosting DD!

Hi - Studio Calico is offering packs of the page protectors: http://www.studiocalico.com/store/albums/6x8-page-protectors

Does the kit/album for sure include the page protectors? I'm looking at kit contents on their website and it mentions the album but not the protectors...
Yes - there are 25 included.

Hi! Where can we purchase the album with out the kit. I can not swing $80.00 + shipping for the kit and I really like the album size and format. I have done a search on line but have not had any luck.
I found the answer on another page....Wish it was available with out the kit.
Thanks!

Oh no! I just found this post and went over to SC...and they are SOLD OUT!! Is there any way to secure just the album itself?? I looked at American Crafts online too, but they don't appear to be offering just the album.
The size is absolutely perfect, and not just for December Daily. Anyone know if the album will be sold seperately?

So sad to have come upon your blog too late to get the album - looks SO awesome! I'll be tuning in and hopefully doing my own version :)

Going to start small this year. Will use my PTI mini album die cut and cut cereal boxes away. Already snapped photos! Can't wait!
