October daily 2019 preparation

Well so far I have gotten a little bit prepped but not really... I’m thinking I may still want to purchase a specific binder for the album from scrapbook.com. I know which one the black and white buffalo plaid from echo park would be the album of choice if I were to order one online. The other option could be an 8x8 burlap album from hobby lobby. 

I think honestly that I might go with the 8x8 burlap album because I could customize it a fair bit more than the other. With a little bit of ink and stitching, which to be honest I think might be a little more fun. It would also mean that I could start the album with my photos from this Friday the 13th... I mean even though I did not watch any horror movies this year which kinda stinks. But what can you do right. 

I am also currently still working on last year’s December Daily album, I haven’t decided yet if I should add the photos from the north pole and Santa from the little’s birthday to last years or this year’s album. I’m leaning more towards last year’s simply because we plan on doing another visit to Santa during the season this year. Here are a couple shots of last year’s album. 

Well anyway that is all that I have for an update here I guess. Talk to you hopefully sooner than a year 

October daily or December daily that is the question.

Or both!?!? So this year I have been seriously contemplating doing both October daily and December daily documenting for the fall and winter seasons. I know I enjoy December daily and that I also love Halloween and all things fall. So why not do both? The know that I will probably going to regret this life choice but I need to use all those free prints that snap fish and Shutterfly offer each month right.

Anyway, my daughter really loves looking through her albums and seeing how things have changed for moved around. So I think I will do both this year wish me luck as I have already started planning out my October daily album layouts.

project life Baby's first year

So as you know I have been working on the little's baby book as a combination of project life pocket pages and 12x12 layouts. so far it is working out pretty well I have gotten all the way from birth (still need to scan some photos from another photo book that was shipped to me but that is not important) to just past her first Christmas, this page I am particularly fond on because it was one of the first 12x12 layouts I have ever done and I think it turned out more than halfway decent. I know I need to not be so self-deprecating in my humor, but hey it amuses me so that is really all that matters. My daughter really made out like a bandit her first Christmas and still plays with most of those toys.

I am also trying to find a way to turn the pocket pages from her first trip to the zoo onto a 12x12 layout as the local scrapbook shop I have begun to frequent has paper specific to the local zoo. These pages I have been having some issues getting around the idea of posting as I don't really want too many people to know exactly where we live... although I am pretty sure that I have posted about where we moved to local wise if not specifics on here before...

Wow I have to learn to stay on topic, anyway the zoo visit are the pages I am currently working on for her baby book, and the current year album I am working on a day at the park where she wanted to explore the finer points of grasshopper catching and trying to work the swing by herself.

december daily 2017 flip through

So last year was my first real attempt at memory keeping as I had mentioned before, I love love love how it turned out. So here are some collages of the pages that I have finished,

I did not do a day per page nor are the photos all from december. some photos are from february and march simply because our family visits for the holidays last year were drawn out into February and march. I do not know if I will post close up photos of the pages or not but I think these will do. let me know if you would like to know more of what went into each individual page and if I remember I will post it.

Day 10 of Blogtember 2018, recreate a project from another blogger

my December daily 2017

Ok so today I will talk about my project from Ali Edwards December Daily  2017 was the first year that I had actually taken the time to do the project. While I did not get a chance to get the actual pieces from her collection, I loved the album I got in a bundle by Echo Park from Scrapbook.com  the new collection in the bundle this year is by Carta Bella. I love the album in the Carta Bella collection but I think I will be trying to make my own album this year.

the one paper that I had the hardest time with incorporating was the Rudolph paper, I used so many pictures from the time of October-march in my album because I had family coming to visit at different times. Add to that my daugher had so many different milestones happening during those months. She stood up on her own and started to walk on her own, she had her first taste of chocolate chip cookies, she had her first time on a swing. her first visit to our house from her Damma and PapPap.

 

I love the fact that she loves flipping through this album and pointing out all of the people, and things.

This year I will be doing December Daily and October Daily, both of which I have already started to prep for.
