Whatever to Ali intimidating you...she is amazing, but so is everyone here. It's like saying "man, I won't sing because I can't sing like Celine Dion." Let's start our own circle of people doing it here!
I am going to use that album, and I have been creating some hybrid stuff to use in it...can't wait to show you!

This is my plan . . . since I'm 7 months pregnant, but I really want to do this and DS's birthday is also in December, this year I'm going to do an all digital version. Then, during 2009 I am totally going to start hoarding paper supplies (that way I can hit up the after Christmas sales) whenever I find them and next year I am going to do a paper/hybrid version. I feel good about my decision
 I just feel like if I tried to a paper version like Ali's this year I would give up because I'd get too overwhelmed with that is going on. I'm so excited to see what everyone else does!

I'm going mostly paper, with hybrid thrown in (I think). I may change my mind depending on the album I go with...just haven't wanted to decide just yet before I think about supplies more.
I did make a set of 1-25 circle numbers like Ali has in her albums from last year (and a few this year). They're almost exactly the same, can use 'em for either a digi or paper album. I printed on cardstock and punched a few last night- I think they look fun! Might try a red background with white numbers too...

 )T those look awesome!! I was thinkin of figuring out something similar. I have some 7gypsies circle stamps (the self inking ones) and I'm 90% sure I have a punch that fits it exactly. Then I'll use some of my acrylic stamps to put the numbers on them. WOOT! I love when plans start to come together, and I love that we're all pulling inspiration from each other!! I AM SO EXCITED FOR US TO DO THIS TOGETHER!!!!

So here we are...I think we should all do this..digi or hybrid or paper. My goal right now is to get the book done, I really like the idea of getting the pages put together now so that I won't have to do it in Dec. Those chipboard albums are great prices!! I have a bunch of them, so I am stealing pages from each to use as pages in the book. I am hoping to get stuff together and start this week. Another side note: At Target today, they had the Memory Makers FaLaLaLa line...and it comes in a project pad, which would be a great way to make everything jive together. Plus, there is even a patterned paper with all the numbers up to 25!! Bonus: it's only $10. I would have got it, but it wasn't really my style. I am more whimsy and fun, and this was more muted..but check it out.

I'd happily send you a link for these if you want them, but sounds like you made your own already, sorry I missed them!I was over at Target tonight and saw the MM papers, they're not really my style either, but I'm having the hardest time finding anything in the stores around here (no LSS in 30+ miles). I'll try Michael's this weekend I think, otherwise it's online shopping...that is if I can find anything I want in stock!

I've already started mine
I'm going hybrid, 8 1/2 x 11. I have some really cute paper from the Angel Company that I bought 2 years ago and a TON of stampin up cardstock so I'm going that route, I'll print out some elements and use ribbons and buttons also. I'm so excited about this!!!! Still not sure about a cover though, but I'm thinking heavy, heavy chipboard and either wire binding at staples or ring binding. Guess it depends on how thick it gets

Oh my gosh! I just realized I already have the PERFECT album for this! I have the Maya Road calendar project... if I take away the stand there are 13 sheets of chipboard! WOOT! Then I can add some pages from other chipboard albums sitting around here unused! I'm already assembling it. lol

Hmmm... I have that album too! And the landscape binder album. Both of those would be perfect... but I just know I'll never get this done this time around if it's not digital. I can't WAIT to see what your girls come up with!

That's a great idea to use the calendar ast he book!
I did 90548432 things last night, none of which was pulling out my box of Christmas scrap stuff to go through and decide what I want. I KNOW I want the BG Wassail collection, so I'm hoping to get to go to my mom's LSS tomorrow. Maybe I'll find an album there too. I'm so anxious to start this next week. I have so many ideas in my head, I need to get SOMETHING decided on, lol. Also, Ali posted a huuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuge Q&A session on her blog today.

I'm thinking just a thread here will work best. Everyone's here already, kwim? Next week when I go through my stuff and actually get started, I'll start a new thread where we can all chatter and share what we're doing and thinking

I'm reading through Ali's post today, and she's planning making a set of 5 or so templates that can be rotated through/flipped/spun/etc for all your ppl wanting to do just digi
I know you can use a template you already have, or whatever, but I just wanted to point that out. (She sells at Designer Digitals - who I am hoping having a good sale this weekend so I can snag some of her stuff )

Holy moly, I so tempted now. After reading more on Ali's blog, it does sound fun. Mine would be all digital I think. I actually like the idea of doing paper or hybrid but I don't want to buy anything and definitely don't have enough. Eeks! I just have to focus and I'm sure I can do it.

This is going to be so much fun! I think Ill do the Daily prompts mixed in with Shimelle's class prompts (I took her class last year). I am so very tempted to do it hybrid though but I looked at paper kits at our LSS here and whoa - it was so expensive!!!!

Crazyscraps has the BG Wassail in stock.....but not a great price.
Scrapbooking-warehouse started carrying BG (no Wassail yet) and is usually well priced, and they have Clear Scraps acrylic albums available. I've shopped with them before and I like them.

Good call, I forgot to post the link to the flickr group if anyone wants to add their stuff.
http://flickr.com/groups/956143@N22/ I might just do the waterfall album by clearscraps I posted yesterday. I totally love this one that was posted in the flickr group http://www.pinefeather.typepad.com/

I love that Clear Scraps All Mixed Up album Col, I'm definitely going to have to get one of those for a future project! And Teresa those round numbers you made are awesome!!
I found a couple of 7Gypsies 6x6 chipboard ring book kits in my stash and I'm thinking of taking one of those and combining it with a 6x6 acrylic tabbed album and alternating the pages for a mix-n-match look. I love Basic Grey's Figgy Pudding collection (even though it's an older collection) so I'm going to see if I can find any of that @ my LSS.

I must have missed this post last night. You didn't miss my numbers, I am finishing them up today. I'll let you know when I am done. Also, there was a giveaway on Ali's blog yesterday, I don't know how long it goes for, but that's where it was.

I like the way that looks too, but I think DW will die if I buy another album, as I have a bajillion that I haven't used. I am going to stick with what I have and start piecing the pages together. I pulled stuff last night, and found mainly last year's DCWV, so I am going to go with that for now.

I think I'm going to order this album for it. I love how hers has all different shapes. I want to try to find some of acrylic pages like she has too fill in with this one - I guess I'll have to break down and hit the LSS
