Have you got covers or foundatin pages? I want to see.. I want to see..

I started my cover and did some foundation a first for me... I can't share till December though :p Well I could share the non new kit stuff. ;)
 
jajaja Angie, last year is out of sight out of mind.. I'm focusing on this year... ;)
 
lol Mari......I am certinaly gonna focus on this year and probbaly make my cover page (for some reason I just have to have that cover page) to get me started.....I do love that my new phone takes AMAZING pics, so I think it will be alot easier for me this year :)
 
I haven't actually started yet, just been planning in my mind. I need to get more cs to use for base before I can begin since I'm doing it hybrid.
 
but I do think I want to do mine hybrid, but I will have to see if I have enough ink on hand, and a few real life embellishments on hand before I start......(I already have tons of BH PL page protectors that have NOT been put to use, so I am good there!)
 
I've been slowly working on mine. I'm doing it mainly paper with a little bit of hybrid mixed in. got my journaling cards printed today so I need to cut those. And I got my sewing machine back so I can figure out how to sew on my cards! WOOT! Excited and nervous about this :) I am still working on my cover - not completely in love with what I am planning. That may change though :)

Here's what I have so far:

Adi, December Daily is a concept from Ali Edwards. The idea is to document your Holiday season daily or however works for your family. It's usually done in it's own album or format too.

These are my albums from the past two years to give you an idea:

I love the idea of using vellum pages in between, Jen. Thanks for the inspiration!

It's an album project that documents the 25 days leading up to Christmas. Mainly of whatever you want to document.
-Christmas tree picking-
-Cookies for Santa
-Visiting Santa
-Breakfast-Dinner w/family
-Christmas ornaments
-Favorite Christmas mugs, nicknacks
-Under the Christmas tree, kids, couples, pets
-Movies you've watches
-Christmas lights watching (houses)
-Christmas shopping
-Christmas wrapping if you don't have any younger kids you still want to believe
-Kids making lists...
it's endless... but so you get an idea...

I bow down to you hybird girls. I just can't do it...

Erin, love that it's very much to the point of what's going to be inside the album:wub:
 
re-doing my cover today and have been printing up journal cards and making embellishments and pulling together my "real" elements and stuff that match... also been painting watercolor paper to send through my Silhouette... I won't actually be putting together my pages but am pulling everything together... I tend to fly by the seat of my pants, so I have a hard time putting it all together before the month... but love having it all printed and ready so that all I have to do is fill my pockets with pre-made cards, photos and journal... that's the only way I can finish it lol

You go girl, I am doing basic stuff be back with an example...
I started a folder December Daily with kits I know I'm going to pull from.. yes I said kits :p I can't find just one that has every lil thing I want or need. :o
 
I started searching/organizing my stash. And I'm working on filling in a calendar for ideas each day. They might not all happen but at least I have an idea.
 
Gosh I really REALLY want to make sure I get to do this, this year. I tried last year and failed miserably haha.

That makes total sense and yay for strategies!

These are filler pages, I am not I repeat not a journal heavy person so I could never do those type of layouts. These are all going on top/in between Traci's 365 Unscripted-Mini slipins. I've already decorated a few of them but can't share just yet...
These photo one's may also include 2 or 3 days to save my sanity and time... We'll see how it all come's together ;)

 
btw Heather, I saw your cupcake tin filled with all your DD goodies and I think that is a brillant idea!!!!!!
 
I won't be doing December Daily because it's way too much for me, but I will be doing another round of Holiday Faves! The templates for that will be in the shoppe this weekend.

:wub: woot!! I may need to hop on those!! Yeah combining faves & daily sounds like a terrific idea to me. :D
 
I did the cover of mine - I am going to be doing a faves album with Lynnette's templates HYBRID! I cannot wait to start!!
 
I am, but I'm not pre-planning this year. I did pre-plan last year and felt constrained. This year I'm looking forward to scrapping by the christmas tree lights.

I have been studying the calendar to make sure our favorite activites don't collide. And planning some quiet at home nights. Flexible, but prepared.
 
I'm definitely doing this with Lynette's templates. I plan to document our Countdown to Christmas/Advent festivities in combination with other holiday things we do each day. I still need to decide on a kit. Once I do, I'll get all the accent pages and cover done.

I love your Holiday Faves Mini Album so much! Can't wait to see what will hit the shoppe this weekend :wub:
 
I don't do mine ahead of time, but I do have my supplies chosen & ready to go (except whatever I'm going to buy next Friday here at SSD! :wub:).

I did get last year's album printed (this week!) from PrestoPhoto.com, though. Does that count?! :p

I wish I could write on my resume 'completed and printed Countdown to Christmas albums for 2011 and 2012,' but somehow, I think the real world would not be nearly as impressed with that accomplishment as I would hope they'd be. ;)
 
I'm still trying to finish up my fall album, but I'm losing motivation and feeling ready to move on to the holidays. I may scrap my foundation stuff and get my albums prepped, THEN finish the fall album... I'm doing a Holiday Faves album, but I think I may start with last years and then, when this year's is released, see how I can weave it in... I'm still not sure.

so for anybody that does hybrid do you use presentation paper

if I printed photos at home, I would. I just use white cardstock- for projects like this, I use Bazzill textured cardstock from Michaels, for PL I just use bright white cardstock from a local source.
