Anyone going to do a 2015 Dec Daily?
 
I've never done one, but my regular 2015 scrapbook is already longer than usual (76 pages. Going to be an expensive photobook) and I don't want to make it longer by adding all the Dec stuff. KWIM? So I'm thinking about making a small book just for the holidays. Blurb.com offers a 7x7 that would be nice, I think.

Anyway, I've never done one and I haven't given myself much time to research and plan for one. What do you think?

Valgal 11-27-2015 10:09 AM

bump!!!

Valgal 11-27-2015 12:09 PM

Well, now I'm all planned and can't start yet. It's the waiting game...

Oh, and thanks to Lynette for all the organization/planning ideas from her Holiday Faves class last year.

Well, I guess I could start on the cover and stuff.

I am doing one! This is my fourth or fifth DD, I think.

Here's my intentions page, actually. I start the day after Thanksgiving so I have a page to make for today! :wub:

I'll be doing DD again this year... my tip is be simple. :) 2012 I did a page per activity and I'm STILL working on it... :) Last year, I did a page per day and it was PL style using Traci's December Project kit... and it's done, even though I wished now that I did the full month - last year was the first year I did just 25 days.

I think I'm going to use Ru, Amanda and Si's collection..

Wow Valerie that's awesome planning! I'm planning on doing the December daily this year because for the last two years I always stop at 10 and before 10. let me challenge myself in doing this :)

Valgal 11-28-2015 11:45 AM

Yay! Maybe we can have a DD thread or something?

Cherry, do it! We'll help each other keep going.

I'm doing it again this year. I did one back in 2010 and I still love it. I can't wait for the 1st!!

jaylensmom 11-28-2015 10:58 PM

I'm in this year...

JenM 11-29-2015 02:58 PM

I'm wanting to try to do a digital one this year. I've tried for the last three years to do a little album and I always got stuck around day 12. This year I might not do it daily but maybe a 12 days of Christmas album and make it smaller.

I'm looking forward to seeing all your pages!! :)

Traci Reed 11-29-2015 03:02 PM

Thinking about it! I have the (paper) Gossamer Blue December Memories kit to play with though I think I want to do digital.

carriesmom 11-29-2015 03:47 PM

I am doing one this year. I am using Ali Edwards main kit and Jasmine Jones mini kit plus some extras I have around. I have done it before, but only finished once. I am hoping physical pages will help. My foundations are done, so I just need December to get here.

I did a paper holiday album last year because I thought with all the Cmas stuff going on it would be easier to just grab a pen and fill in my journaling but, nope, the mess drove me nuts. I forgot how much clutter paper scrapping generates. DEF going digital with this one.

Holy Organization! I'm impressed!

NeverendingJen 11-30-2015 02:22 PM

I'm doing faves again with Lynnette.

cherrygutz 11-30-2015 02:28 PM

Thank you Valerie :)
Okay, I'm doing December Daily this year and to hoping that I would finish, I printed out Lynnette's Holiday Fave templates compressed in two pages.

But I have a question though, are you guys going to finish until the 31st or only until the 25th?

It really depends on YOU. For our family, I stop documenting at Christmas Day. We don't do anything festive after the holiday and I like to wrap up my album. Others continue the entire month.

LeeAndra 11-30-2015 06:12 PM

Cherry, I run my album from the day after Thanksgiving until the last family celebration which is usually the weekend after Christmas. The number of days vary year to year but if we were not doing any family celebrations after Christmas then I would stop there.

Kiana 11-30-2015 08:31 PM

I've done a weekly one for December before. Do you most of you all use the same product for the WHOLE album?? Or do you like to switch things up?

Valgal 11-30-2015 08:35 PM

I'll switch it up a little if there is something I need, but last year I stuck with the same couple of kits and I like that my album has a cohesive look.

Kiana 11-30-2015 08:50 PM

Ok good to know. I might have to switch things up

cherrygutz 12-01-2015 05:00 AM

Oohhh.. Thank you girls for the tip :)

LeeAndra 12-01-2015 10:39 AM

I use a different kit for every day, Kiana. This year, I have the same background paper, the same date stamp, and the same 'day' (I number my days since they do not match up with the date of each day) stamp to make it look more cohesive.

breakingbrie 12-03-2015 12:31 AM

I am not nearly as organized/planned out as you Valerie! lol, but I did it before, so I've got an idea of how I'm doing it. I'm another going with a totally different kit every day! Too many awesome Christmas kits to use to just stick with one or a couple :D

I also do a double page for each day. Even if I don't have a lot of pics, I'll journal (sometimes little interviews with us all on fave Dec stuffs) and just a pretty photoless lo.

stormchaser 12-03-2015 01:32 AM

I've never done one ever so this is my first year. Im so excited!!!
