I have been a
long time follower of
Ali Edwards (LOVE HER!!), she is a
scrapbooking genius IMO!! I love how she puts her pages/journaling/transparencies all together to tell a wonderful story of
daily LIFE!! I have been
drooling over her
December Daily Album (DDA) this year, and was contemplating if I should take on this task...
isn't December already hectic enough without adding more pressure??? But since I love scrapbooking (
my first love, before stamping), and I
LOVE photos; I bit the bullet and purchased her
templates. Of course I wanted to make my book
just like hers...but everything was pretty much SOLD OUT
(darn all those DDA participants!!), so I figured I would use my creativity and use Ali's book as a template
(much more fun that way too!!), so off to
Joann's,
Michael's and
Hobby Lobby I went gathering supplies (
how fun!). My next thought was "
will I have enough stuff to scrap about???" since my kids are young adults now...but the
creative juices started flowing and I think I will be ok
*wink* I have never scrapped pages first and then added photos/journaling, so this was a new concept for me to get my head around
(I think I will like it though!!). Even though I am pretty busy with work, church, Christmas shopping, etc. I am keeping a small notebook handy to jot down my thoughts for each particular day; that way if I
don't have time to get the day scrapped right away, it is no big deal! I may end up scrapping the entire book at once~but
that is ok~I am letting myself
go with the flow!!!
I am excited that I will have December 2010 documented for my family!!! I may just make this a
Clark tradition ;)
It's not too late to start one~will you
join me in being a family storyteller???
Here are pages 1 thru 5 (lots of pic's!!):
I still have not decided if I am going to use an album or make my own cover like Ali. I do like the fact that each of her templates have lots of space for journaling, photos, or both. I plan on doing a mixture of
digital and paper scrapping (
hybrid scrapping)...I will post more as I plug away at it :)
Have a
super weekend!!!

Looks like lots of work to me...I think I'll stick with posting a few pictures a day instead!!! But then again, I won't have anything I can put my hands on so....
wow! that is going to be gorgeous!!
Looks lovely! I agree, Ali E is great in documenting the everyday life. I am so happy I decided to start my first December Daily ever this year!
