December Daily™ 2011 | Day Fourteen

Ali wondering if there is a way to remove a link I accidently did link #2 to a different address..if not no big deal but thought I'd try.

I like your cards for this year, they came out great. I actually did a collage photo from our favorites times over this year and sent them out in a card. This was a first for me and everyone is calling and telling me how much they loved it. My husband's boss even took the time to call and express how fun it was. Usually I just send cards and have put the kids school photos in them but this was a big hit and think I will do it again next year too.

This was a great page for your day, happy happy picture!!

Beautiful pages! and wonderful card ALI... as always!

I plan to add one of my cards to my album... I handmade 130 with no more than 2-3 the same! Our tradition is to add our family photo taken at Thanksgiving but I omitted the photo and opted to send a bookmark announcing our youngest son's upcoming wedding in 2012.
I've started getting my book ready! I purchased several of your digital files, changed the color and sizing of the images... I want to make mine 6X6... this is a challenge for me because I LOVE 12x12 pages. I sure hope I find that Tiny Attacher in my stocking!
Love the striped paper... nice touch!

Yes ! Sometimes, it's really difficult to find time to realise the pages ... This day i have my job plus an evening party in my school, with the others teachers ... I have prepared the foundation pages, but the photos will be taken this evening ... I think Picasa will help me tomorrow or tonight ...
Kisses from France !

nice cards and bright colours.

Love your Christmas card! So pretty!
I am trying to make ours at this right moment, but am stuck in the process (why is it always like that.. A picture to put on a card, and I am just stuck trying to figure out how it should look like... just making it too complicated... I would have gone for the ready designs, but since I am a bit late and need to get cards to be sent by tomorrow I just need to fix and print here at home.)

Now back to business... Thank you for the inspiration - it did give some ideas I could try out!

Too funny -- my day 14 is our Christmas card too! I don't have page protectors, and the card is double-sided (postcard style, from Cardstore), so I just made a pocket and attached it to the Dec. 14 overlay/template from your DD collection. DH was too tired last night to actually do the addressing, but we got our database ready to print addresses onto labels, so that's on the agenda today -- together with buying stamps. :)

We normally do a pciture of our family on the beach every year for the Christmas card and I can't believe it is December 15th and we haven't done this yet! Maybe this weekend! How does Christmas come so fast?!

I used Minted this year again. I just couldn't pass up the beautiful designs and the ability to showcase a few extra pictures with words using their timeline add on.
Looks so much more classy than a type written letter.

I had the same Christmas card dilemma of patterned paper on the flip side, with no room for a handwritten message.

So I found some blank white 1" and 2" mailing labels in my postage file.... drew a 'AE'style free hand border with a black gel pen and slapped it on the patterned side to write a note on selected cards.

Delightful cards (and of course delightful kids too :) )

I am having so much fun with the project, last few days my 14 year old has had to be picked up from school multiple times with anxiety attacks and tummy aches - some days more than one pickup (school attendance has been out of whack so sometimes we try to get her home, calm her and take her back.) Thanks to this project, I am aware to find the bright spots in each day, and as upsetting as some of the moments or hours have been, there are always bright spots when you look closely for them. This project reminds me to do this, and instead of looking back at this week as a fiasco, I will have the happiness documented.

Love your card! I mailed my cards out on the 1st so the first page in my DD is about our card! Love the ruler strip is it ribbon or paper?

adorable card! feels good to play a bit of catch up on my end. as always, thanks for the constant inspiration.

I am considering the December Daily overlays and wondered if the Day of the Week layer can be turned off when printing these? I would just like to see the number...Thanks!

I'm embroiled in too many other Christmas projects (family calendar among them and Christmas cards -- still have lots of them to do!), but I sure have enjoyed following along these past 14 days. I'm looking forward to the rest of them, too. I usually use Shutterfly for my picture, calendar, stationery and other gifts with picture needs, but will check into Minted. It's new to me, but sounds promising. Thanks.

It's nice to do a simple page sometimes, isn't it? Thank you for the inspiration. I'm really enjoying it.

Hi, I bought the overlays for the project. I am using Scrapbook Artist. Could anyone tell me how to change the colour of the numbers on the overlay so they are red??

Thank you!
