December Daily - Day 5

Wow, Day 5. Very cold here, and there was a really bad accident as we headed home from shopping. The kids and I had to do a major detour to get home. Even in 4 wheel drive the truck was sliding where the road was sheer ice. That was a perfect time for the kids to have a nice long nap, and I enjoyed my yummy chai latte from Starbucks as we were driving very slowly...my treat for today! Anyways, we are all home safe and sound and here is day 5! I snapped this picture this am, it is so cold with the wind blowing, and I think the pic says it all! I used an Ali Edwards overlay and added my journaling ontop of the pic, and recoloured the overlay and journaling.

December Daily Days 2, 3 &4!

Ok, so I have had to go digital to keep up. I bought these great digital layouts at Jessica Sprague.com created by Crystal Wilkerson, and they are on sale this weekend. If you are ever thinking about going digital, you should check out the classes Jessica offers, amazing, you will learn alot, at your own pace.
So I used three templates I purchased by Crystal, and I resized to 6x6. Then I printed and embellished with some ribbon and number tags by Elle Studio, the Merry tag is from Ormolu at etsy, snowflake ribbon is from etsy and ofcourse I had to glam it up with my Irock. Paper is from Echo Park Paper, and the brown and blue polka dot is October Afternoon. I glimmer misted the black cardstock background with Tattered Angels marshmallow!

Another Layout on a Lets Scrap Sketch

Ok, I need to finish day 2 and 3 of my December Daily, but I needed to clean my scrapbook room ...I couldnt find a single spot to work! So as I cleaned I found a couple of layouts that have been hanging around not finished. You know the ones that you get part way through and you cant finish them...there is something you dont like about them but just cant figure out what that is! I think the pics would have been better in b&w, but didnt want to reprint!
Head over to Lets Scrap for more sketches and inspiration!

Have a great weekend!

December Daily - Day 1

Well, here goes nothing, I am attempting to complete my December Daily this year! Ali Edwards has some more great blog posts today and free downloads. I did my journaling on a mini page and put a picture on the backside of it.
For my main picture I used an Ali Edwards overlay, so simple to throw over top of your picture in photoshop. Also my journaling mini page is an overlay that I just added text to.
The paper and embleli's are a mix of different products. Paper is Echo Park Paper - Everybody Loves Christmas line. The bling on the pages, is my Irock tool, I am loving this tool...it heat sets the stones on your page, or anything for that matter!
Tree Pin is Maya Road, Home bingo card is Jenni Bowlin, the number one journal embeli on page 2 is Elles Studio, the ho ho ho chip board embli is making memories. The snowflake brad I am not sure, that was something I saw at staples years ago and bought them.

I am seeing some playtime in the snow today...maybe the subject for page 2!
Have a great day,
Thanks for looking,
