December Daily/ Journal Your Christmas Part 3

Hello. I am back to show you the last few pages of my December Daily/ Journal Your Christmas Album. Today we are going to start with Day 17 & Day 18. They each have a small pocket with a journaling tag.

For the front of each pocket I started with paper from the AC Merrymint collection. I layered a scallop circle (Wool Wausau paper & Oriental Trading punch) and a 2" circle (Fiskars punch & Becky Higgins Journaling Cards), and 2 presents cut from the Martha Stewart Gifts Deep Edge punch in Silver Wausau paper.

The tags were cut with my Slice and the Basics 1 cartridge. I also added the numbers to the bottom using the Family Treasures punches.

The pockets are also a flap that opens up to reveal a photo mat and additional space for journaling.

Days 19 and 20 are also pocket pages. Day 19 is the smaller pocket with a journaling tag (Slice and Basics 1 cartridge). The back of the pocket is lined with paper from the Merrymint collection and the front of the pocket is lined with more of the Pimiento Wausau paper. The border is punched from the Wool Wausau paper with the Uppercrest punch from Fiskars. The front is decorated with snowflakes from the Martha Stewart Nordic Snowflake punch.

The small white tag under the border was embossed with Versamark Ink, Clear embossing powder, and the Hero Arts Flourish stamp.

The journaling tag was cut with the Slice and Basics 1 cartridge and Family Treasures punches were used to add the '19th' to the bottom of the tag.

Day 20 is a taller pocket with an insert for photos and journaling. I used more of the Bo Bunny Adlib paper for the photo mat. I also added two tags to the corner (Silver Bells paper, Family Treasure punches, Slice, and Mistletoe cartridge).

Day 21 is another pocket page with two tags for journaling or small photos. I lined the back of the pocket with the Bo Bunny Adlib paper. The front is decorated with the Silver Wausau paper, Martha Stewart Skyland Snowflake Deep Edge punch, and the  word family that was cut with my Slice and the Mistletoe cartridge.

The tags were cut with my Slice and Bascis 1 cartridge. On the first tag I punched the '21st' with my Family Treasures punches and on the second one I stamped a sentiment from the Good Cheer stamp set by Ali Edwards in Aspen Mist Ink.

This pocket page is also a flap that opens to reveal the page for Day 22. I used the Pimiento Wausau paper to create a photo mat on the left side of the page.

I decorated the bottom of the page with a die cut from the Spellbinders Labels 4 dies, a 2" circle (Fiskars), and another die cut from the Spellbinders Contemporary Hearts Shapeabilities.

I made the right side of the page into a pocket to hold my journaling tags (Family Treasures punches, Silver Wausau paper, Slice, and Basics 1 cartridge).

The front of the pocket was made with the Martha Stewart Gifts Deep Edge punch. I added paper from Wausau and Echo Park, punched snowflakes, and a sentiment from the Hero Arts Holiday Sayings stamp set in Aspen Mist ink.

Day 23 is a flap with a pocket that opens to the side. The top of the flap is covered in snowflakes from various punches and diecut shapes cut with my Slice.

I added a journaling tag to the pocket made from the Silver Bells Echo Park paper and cut with my Slice and the Basics 1 cartridge.

If you lift the flap you find a photomat (Bo Bunny Adlib paper) and a snowflake element layered with a 2" circle punch (Fiskars) and a die cut from the Spellbinders Contemporary Hearts Die.

Behind the flap is a pocket with a journaling tag (Slice and Basics 1 cartridge) for Day 24. The pocket is lined with paper from the AC Merrymint collection.

Day 25 is the last pocket page with an insert for photos and journaling (Silver Bells paper). I added 2 tags (Silver Bells paper, Family treasures punches, Slice, and Mistletoe cartridge) to the top corner.

The final page for my album is for Day 26. I created another band to go across the page using the Pimiento Wausau paper and the Bo Bunny Adlib paper. I added a die cut snowflake cut from the Silver Wausau paper using my Slice and Mistletoe cartridge.

I also added a small tag with a strip of paper that was accordian folded and held closed with some red Jillbean Soup twine.

Each section of the folded strip can hold a small a small frame die cut from the Quickutz instant photo die if I decide to use them.

This is the final photo of my album showing the last page and the inside of the back cover.

This is my first time putting together a December Daily album. It is also the first year I am doing Shimelle's Journal Your Christmas class and thought it would be fun to combine the two projects into one. I had a lot of fun putting this together and I like having all the pocket pages in this album. It will be quick and easy to add photos and journaling to my pages. If you made it through all 3 posts, lol, I hope you enjoyed taking a look through my album. I am also going to leave you with a list of supplies I used in my album. I went through my craftroom and used things I already had in my stash to create my album. Some of them are newer products, but a few were much older products and may be hard to find. The Family Treasures punches I used to add numbers to my tags and pages are ones I have had in my stash for over 10 years!

December Daily/ Journal Your Christmas Album Part 2

Hello. I am back for part 2 of my December Daily/ Journal Your Christmas album share. I am going to jump right in where we left off with Day 8. I created a simple band to fit across the page to hold photos and tags (Silver Bells Echo Park paper cut with the Slice and Basics 1 cartridge). I used the Martha Stewart Gifts deep edge punch and layered a strip of the Wool Wausau paper and a stamped sentiment (Life in Pictures stamp set by Ali Edwards and Aspen Mist Versa Magic Ink). I also used Family Treasures punches to add the '8th' to the bottom of the page.

Day 9 is another smaller pocket page to hold photos and a journaling tag (cut with the Slice and Basics 1 cartridge). Family Treasures punches were used to add the '9th' to the bottom of the tag. I decorated the front of the pocket starting with paper from the Echo Park Playground collection. I layered a die cut (Contemporary Hearts Spellbinders Shapeabilities) with a scallop circle (Oriental Trading punch) and 2" circle (Fiskars punch) that was stamped with the Hero Arts Graph stamp in Aspen Mist ink. I also used the EK Success Rudolph punch and Wool Wausau paper to make the reindeer. His scarf is the Pimiento Wausau paper punched with the Martha Stewart DIY Snowman punch. For a bit of dimension I used foam dots to adhere the reindeer to the center of the circle.

The page for Day 10 is a taller pocket with an insert for a photo on the front and journaling on the back. I used more of the AC Merrymint collection paper and added 2 tags to the top corner (Silver Bells paper, Slice and Basics 1 cartridge, and Family Treasure punches).

The page for Days 9 and 10 opens to reveal 2 pages for Days 11 and 12.

The page for Day 11 is simply a photo mat (paper from the AC Merrymint collection) with layered embellishments at the bottom. I plan to use more of the Tim Holtz mini paperclips to attach my journaling tags to the top of the page. For the element at the bottom of the page I used Papertrey Ink's Mat stack 4 die and layered a 2" circle (Fiskars punch and Wool Wausau paper). I cut the snowflake using my Slice and the Mistletoe cartridge and adhered it to the circle with foam dots for added dimension. I added the '11th' to the snowflake after punching the Silver Metallic Wausau paper with Family Treasures punches.

The page for Day 12 is a pocket page with a banner across the bottom. I lined the pocket with the Royal Metallics Chalice Silver Wausau paper and added 2 tags for photos or journaling (Silver Bells paper and cut with the Slice and Basics 1 cartridge). For the 4 banner pieces I used Papertrey Ink's Banner Builder Dies and die cut the peices out of Becky Higgins Journaling Cards and Wool Wausau paper. I added snowflakes punched from the Silver Wausau paper. For the tag in the middle of the banner I used my Slice & Mistletoe cartridge and layered a 1" circle (Fiskars punch and Silver Wausau paper) and the '12th' (Family Treasures punches).

The page for Day 13 has a simple band made from the Wool Wausau paper and layered with an EK Success Flourish Square punched shape, snowflakes punched from the Silver Wausau paper and a stamped sentiment from the Good Cheer stamp set by Ali Edwards in Aspen Mist Ink. The two tags are cut with the Slice and Basics 1 cartridge from the Silver Bells Echo Park paper and Silver Wausau paper. I added the '13th' (Family Treasures punches) to the bottom corner of the page.

The page for Day 13 is a flap that lifts up to reveal the page for Day 14.

The page for Day 14 has a pocket for photos and a journaling tag (Family Treasures punches, Slice & Basics 1 cartridge). The back of the pocket is lined with Pimiento Wausau paper and the front was created with Martha Stewart Skyland Snowflake Deep Edge punch. I added a tab to the top of the pocket that was cut from the Silver Bells paper with my Slice and Noteworthy cartridge. The background paper behind the pocket is from the AC Merrymint collection.

This page also has a more interactive feature. I am sure some of you may have noticed the white
tab peeking out in previous photos. That is a pull tab that moves the pocket into an upright position. Eventhough this page is in the middle of the book, it was one of the last pages I created. I wish I had thought of this earlier on in the process and been able to add more pages like this one. This page was really fun to make and I can't wait to make more pages like this in another album.

Day 15 is a pocket page for photos and a journaling tag (Family Treasures punches, Slice & Basics 1 cartridge). The back of the pocket is lined with the Wool Wausau paper and the front is lined with more of the AC Merrymint collection paper. The white die cuts were all cut with my Slice and the Mistletoe & Basics 1 cartridges.

The final page for today, Day 16, is a pocket page with another photo/ journaling insert. I used paper from the Echo Park Playground collection for the photo insert and added two tags to the top corner (Silver Bells paper, Martha Stewart Vintage Ornament punch, Slice, and Mistletoe cartridge.
