Welcome to December Daily® 2014 | Day Seven.
I hope that some of you had a chance to work on your albums this weekend - love seeing them linked here and via Instagram. Thank you for sharing using the #decemberdaily hash tag to make them easy to see via Instagram.
Today I'm going with a combo of our Christmas card + more little stories.
For the last few years I've ordered and/or partnered with Minted for our Christmas card. They are great quality with lots of awesome design choices and my overall experience with them each time has been really good. You can check out the past cards I've ordered and added to my December Daily® albums here: 2013, 2012, 2011.
You might also notice that this year I went for a photo of the three of us vs. just the kids. I love how this one turned out.
Here's a look at my Day Seven:

I did move a few things around from how I had set up my Foundation Pages to be able to use the 6x8 Day Seven printable in addition to our holiday card.
You can see what I have up next for tomorrow in my album at the bottom of this post.

Super simple idea. Obviously you can write more of a story about this as well - why you chose the card you did, the story of taking the photo, etc.
Holes punched using the Crop A Dile.

I decided not to do anything with the back of the bag or the back of the photo from Day Six. I might add something later in the month and if I do I'll share it here. The card could have obviously been placed in the bag too but I really wanted it to be a page itself.

I'm back again with more little stories (similar to Day Five). The stars stamp + the "the story of today" stamp make a nice little list journaling opportunity.
Here's what it looked like before I added my stories:

And after:

I used the same two pens as Day Five.
A here's the base of what I'll be working with tomorrow:

Which is perfect since there are "8" spots for what I want for Christmas and I'll add some sort of 4x6 photo in the pocket below.
Have a great Monday!

Great card!Impressed by the amount of journaling you do. I think like the commenter above I also tend to caption my photos, rather than tell a story. Something for me to think about. Thanks for sharing your wonderful project.

I really appreciate this inspiration. Today hasn't been a photo-friendly day, and I decided to borrow your snippets idea and write up a list of "gifts of the season" -- things I am grateful for today. And I think I'll snag your earlier idea to include a piece from a magazine or flyer, and use a bit from the Christmas food magazine I bought today. Thanks, Ali. :)

Thank you for the inspiration - this is such a simple and great idea for including journaling in the DD! Simplifying = enabler for the album. As well as stealing with pride :-) - I will definitely include a similar page in my album!

I looked through photos of December moments and caught a warm feeling, like I was flipping through my old albums, where every shot also offered a welcome escape from the hustle and bustle. Last year, when I was preparing my holiday diary, my annual subscription plan suddenly fell through, and I had to sort it out in the evenings while the whole family was putting up decorations. Then I accidentally stumbled upon https://tv-guide-magazine.pissedconsumer.com/customer-service.html and found similar stories from others. After reading a couple of reviews, it became easier to figure out what to do next, and I calmly returned to my December pages.
