I have another set of Christmas cards that I want to share with you today: A Pocket Card Supplies: Arose Such a Clatter by Julie Billingsley, card stock Noel Supplies used: Deck the Halls – Chic by Kristin Cronin-Barrow, card stock, ribbon Merry Christmas Supplies used: Christmas Cheer by Traci Reed & Meghan Mullens, card stock
One of the people whose December Daily project has served as great inspiration for me this year has been Traci Reed. I love how she fills her album with all the mess and beauty of her everyday life and special activities in December. Every page looks very different, and you can get tons of inspiration just by looking at her current project. Traci has been great at posting her project so far, and you can check it out on her blog: HERE.
Christmas is the season of joy, and there are countless ways of how we can share and spread the spirit of joy. So, today’s journaling prompts are all about the joyful aspects of the season, and here’s my take on one of the prompts:
Another week has passed, and I’m happy to say that my DD project is coming along nicely. First, I was a little concerned that I might not be able to stay on top of it this year (because I decided to make a couple of changes to the routine). But with some delay, I’m actually able to keep up. So, with no further ado, here comes this past week: For larger views and credits click on the images.

I just mailed my batch of Christmas cards (and hope they’ll make it to Europe in time for the holidays) – yay! (Big sigh of release …) And while I’m waiting for them to arrive, I’m happy to share some more with you here this week. (And in case you’re wondering why my Christmas cards are so generic and don’t have any family photos etc. that’s because in that part of Europe where I’m from we don’t have the habit of mailing photo Christmas cards.) Supplies used: Deck the Halls Classic by Kristin Cronin-Barrow, white card stock, ribbon. Supplies used: This Life: December by Penny Springman, card stock Supplies used: Noel by Shawna Clingerman & Penny Springman, ribbon, card stock And since in much of Europe, today’s St. Nicholas Day, I wish everyone who cares about such things a Happy St. Nicholas Day!
Recently, I stumbled upon an awesome December Daily album that has given me much inspiration and a ton of ideas for my own project this year. Kelly Goree shares a couple of her DD pages on her blog, and if you are still looking for more inspiration and ideas for you own project, I encourage you to check out her place.

So, for today’s tutorial post I’d like to take you behind the scenes of my own DD project this year, sharing some of my thoughts and processes. Last Year If you have looked at my DD album from last year, you will have noticed that all my pages were based on the same foundation page: photos on the left (stuck into photo pockets), journaling on the right side with two clusters of embellishments, the title, and the date info. I had created myself a foundation page template which helped me jump start each page quickly, and without having to spend much thought on composition, choice of papers, and placement, scrapping each page was a breeze. Even now, one year later, I still love how my pages turned out, and when I first started thinking about this year’s DD project, I was seriously tempted to just use the same template and format again. The thought of having two very similar …
