Elle's Studio: Document December: Getting Started!

Hi Friends, 

I can hardly wait for Christmas!!!

I am SO excited to be prepping my December Daily album with the gorgeous 

Elle's Studio: Document December Kit! 

If you haven't seen this amazing kit, it looks like this....

I told you it's amazing!!!  

Such a fabulous and well coordinated Christmas themed kit!  

And if you're a little like me and want all.the.things you can also purchase the following kit add-ons to really make your DD album special......

SO good!

I am keeping that sweet acrylic album for another December project ;)

For this year's December Daily, I am using an old Photo Journal that I picked up from my local scrapbook store. 

It has a beautifully bound spine and most importantly, pre cut photo pockets on every single opening! (I know, how awesome is that?!) 

This is a huge time saver for me, and means minimal prep time - Yay! 

Pockets are fantastic in any DD album, as they're not only perfect for housing our precious photographs, but also ideal for storing memorabilia & creating shaker pockets too!

With so little to prepare, I got straight onto decorating my journal cover......

Christmas magic, indeed!

Isn't this festive & fun?!! 

I adore that snow drops pattern paper - so crisp and fresh for Christmas! 

I couldn't resist teaming it with the wood veneer trees and that giant 25 acrylic - so effective! 

Here's a little peak at my inside opening page......

Eeep!!! How cute is this?!! 

I have used more of that divine snow drops pattern paper to line my pages with, and added a thick line of washi tape down the center to strengthen the album's spine. 

On the left hand side, I feature the Hazel Alphabet Stickers for my "It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas" quote. Fun!

On the right, I foam mount one of the tags, and embellish with more alphas, stickers and even those acrylic stars! 

So awesome! 

And there you have it! 

A little look at the getting started stages of my December Daily album.

I hope I've inspired you to make a start on your DD album today! 

Thanks so much for visiting, 

til next time, 

Happy Arty Days,
