Ask questions, post your pages, share your thoughts. Keep us posted to how your project is going, we all want to see!

How fun! All I've done so far is the cover... and it's all paper scrapped so far but the inside will definitely be hybrid. Oh, and for anyone who bought the Making Memories Falala clear glitter stickers.... one of them has a spelling error.

I can't wait to see what everyone else comes up with! I took the opportunity with this project to go completely paper (no digi except some journal blocks) and it was a blast! I just finished my numbering last night and I'll have pics tomorrow!

Since I'm using templates, I haven't done mockups like you would in paper/hybrid albums. It seems like overkill at this point. I'll just have all the following things in my Daily December folder on my computer and then mix 'n' match every day.
No links, though, since they're not SSD product. These two kits: & these bits 'n' pieces: (I think I'm going to email Emily to ask if she'd make 21-31 & release it as an add-on.) I can't wait to start!! |

I should be getting my album early in the week and I'm excited to make my pages. This is my first attempt at hybrid too so it's a new experience for me all around, lol!

THANK YOU La for posting all those -delicious! I absolutly need all of that. I hadn't found ali's templates scouring the store, so now I know what I'm looking for - I neeeeed them. ( I will, however, wait until after the 15th to see if there is something comperable I could buy here first...)

Lindy, not that I'm trying to dissuade you from purchasing here but DD is having their quarterly sale starting Thursday - 30% off through Sunday.
That is all! |

Megan - total cuteness! Love what you've done so far! And LA, I love the bits and pieces you're putting together! I'm gonna try to get some pictures of my stuff in the next couple days.

I'm using Holiday Jingle and those overlays too!
I'm also using Dani's Holiday Spirit, Dani & Traci's Sleighbells Ring & December from Traci & Kristin's A Month at a Time. I've got Penny's All Worn Out in my folder as well. Plsu I figure I'll add some new stuff from whatever is put out here as we get into December |

|
||||
Wow you girls are on the ball. I'll get everything picked out after the 15th. I'm going tomorrow to figure out what album to use.

I think I might end up doing mine more digi than originally planned (mostly due to my lack of paper scrapping supplies and newly formed "beanie baby fund" that absorbs my extra spending $$). So...I'm waiting for more of the Sweet Shoppe designers to release Christmas kits before making a final decision. I'm sure there's LOTS more yumminess coming soon!

I'm with you Teresa, I'm waiting for more Sweet Shoppe Christmas kits!
I do know I am going to use photo clusters so I force myself to use more than one picture! LOL |

Okay that was off subject...but couldn't help it. I still don't know if I am going to do something...or if my boys are going to do something yet...will have to see what kind of time we have. Right now we're up to our eyeballs in homeschooling and Robotics (I know that probably surprises you...NOT lol).

Mine is all digi this year and I have 11 pages scrapped. I'm totally using clean line templates to expedite the progress. I'm just so worried this baby is going to come early and I won't be able to do it. So I made a folder and pulled all my holiday stuff into it and I've been working on 2 pages a day for the past week. It's so fun!

Ok - Im game - I will try a digi version this year - I am so not there on the hybrid yet - off to get ali's templates

I've been really wanting 'candy cane' by heidi larson at little dreamer but it's an expensive kit and they didn't have any DSD sales. So I might have to just swing for it anyway. I'm just not finding Christmas kits in traditional colours that I love! I have to remind myself it's still early... Oh please oh please designers have some kits for the 15th! I think I'll just use Jessica Sprauge's template (it's free on her blog) and modify it for four different layouts, but all with the journalling/photos in that center square. I really love the look of that. Last edited by stayawake; 11-10-2008 at 10:16 AM. |

Hey gang, I jumping in to do some self promo:
First, I so wish I had the time to do this project! It looks so fun! But I have to keep making goodies for you to use! Personally, I think my 2 page templates would be great for this project if you are going the digioute. I size them 24x12 to work with (cause that's the way I like to do my 2 page layouts) and then crop to 12x12 when finished for printing. I know you can't get them right now, but you can grab them when the store reopens! Have fun! I'll watch from the sides green with envy! |

Thanks Penny! Those *would* be perfect. I'll keep them in mind!
|
#26

Good stuff Penny! I plan on using some of your bent bunches for my hybrid pages

BTW, I did email Emily re: her number strips that I mentioned in my product thread for this album.
She posted them as a FREE add-on on her blog, so get 'em while they're hot. You can buy the original 1-20 pack today at WST for 50% off. |

Coolio! Thanks for the heads-up, LA

Those also might work for the "ornaments" pictures I took last year...wasn't sure what I was going to do with the pictures exactly...but I think making this book would be a good way to show each boy's special ornaments. hmmm Thanks for sharing those...got me thinking!

This year, inside my daughter's advent calendar (in process of making this hybrid project) I will have an activity for us to do each day together. Things like building an 'indoor igloo' (fort with blankets), taking a drive to look at christmas lights, baking gingerbread men, having a red and green day, making cinnamon clay ornaments, etc. So I think each day in my album could feature one of these things. ( I have to come up with 5 more ideas though!)
Does anyone have a list of journalling topics already? Or some other ideas to share? |
#33
|
||||
|
||||
Ok, so I haven't gotten any further than cutting the pages...and now I am rethinking this. Now, I want to do it hybrid, like do digital pages, print them and adhere them to the cut pages.
I had another idea though. In that Jessica Sprague class, she talks about using your blog to write. I was thinking that maybe I would start a December Daily blog, maybe make it private or only to certain people, but to blog everyday with a photo or two, that's still getting the ideas down for when I want to scrap them... Tell me your thoughts...I am in a foggy mood, so this may be just plain craziness...I am expecting you to be able to tell me (that means you LA)! |
#34
|
||||
|
||||
Oh My!! I am in LOVE with all the Christmas/Holiday/Winter kits that hit the store. I can't decide which to use.
|
#35

I like the blog idea Aaron. I have a private one at Live Journal I sue to write about my 365 photos. it sounds like a good way to keep up on the project even if you don't have time to scrap everything right away.
I know I'll still be working on mine come mid-January. I take notes on paper mostly though |
#36
|
||||
|
||||
Aaron, sounds like a great solution!
I'm going all-digital with mine, and printing it out in a softcover book (I'm thinking viovio right now). I've got a notebook ready for notes of what I do each day, and If I make myself take photos every day then those will all be organized by day in my computer already, so I can do a few pages at a time (well into January!) |

Remember that time I said I wasn't gonna buy anymore christmas papers?
I went to Michael's on friday and failed miserably, lol. They have a Basic Grey paper pack that's exclusive to Michael's, and naturally right next to it was a matching Bazzil cardstock pack. And then I found a tin of Prima poinsettias. And then I found soem great glittery alpha stickers. I'm so pathetic. My album STILL hasn't gotten here from scrapbook.com. I'm totally disappointed. But I know it'll get here this week, and then I can actually get started. I'm SO excited Aaron, the blog idea is awesome! It's a great way to get things down and out of your head if you don't have time to print a pic or whatever. I'm gonna try and do that too I think, one my regular blog.

Im starting on mine this week. SSD has great Xmas kits out I plan to use two kits on the daily pages and an assortment on Shimelle's prompts as I took her class last year.
|
#40

|

I def. think I am going to blog it...I want to do a separate blog though, since my blog now is under my designer name and stuff...I would like to keep a separate one....and Col, it sounds like my life at Michaels. I went and bought one of the DCWV 8x8 packs...and I want EVERYTHING else. BTW...did anyone see that their MARTHA STEWART is on sale this week? I am soo going there when I get paid.

I have not decided what kit I am using yet but I really like the idea of blogging everyday, just not sure I am that disciplined enough to do it I am really excited about this though and hopefully I will not fall behind!!!!

Yes, Aaron, blogging is good.
Since my blog has been so sadly neglected & I will be doing this project, anyways, I'm sure that I will blog most of my Daily December pages since I'm doing it all digitally & it will all be there, anyways. At minimum, I will set up a Notepad file for notes & create a DD Typepad and/or Flickr album where I can ul all the pages as I go. |

The nice thing botu blogging is that you can copy & paste your journaling directly to your layout.

I've got a few pics taken that I will upload tonight when I get home
I'm having fun. I also decided to do that advent idea with the activities instead of little gifts. I think I may do something with my digi to make little envelopes to hang on the wall in a christmas shape. Of course Ali's boxes on the walls was ADORABLE!!! |

I decided on my album...one that I have here already. It has 16 pages with cutouts on some of the pages. I am hoping to be able to put two days on some of the pages using the little cutout areas. It looks good in my head anyway...LOL. I'm going to do mainly digi so I won't actually start it until I start snapping pics and decide on a kit to use.

Just when I'm finally feeling comfortable with doing this mostly digi, have my main kits and a "plan"...I find a site that has ALL the products I wanted for my paper album in stock. So...is it really worth another $35-40 to make this album? Oye...
