Journaling Café: Celebrating the Season

It’s official now: Christmas season has started. At least in that part of the world where I come from. Yesterday, we lit the first candle on our advent wreaths, and with that the celebrations of the Christmas season twenty-twelve have begun. So, today I’ve compiled a list of journaling prompts that will help you preserve the memories of activities and things you do to celebrate this season. And here’s my page on one of the prompts: The font used for the prompts is my own handwriting font DJB Squirrels In My Pants by Darcy Baldwin (available at the Sweetshoppe).

December Daily 2012: Week 1 Recap

Like last year, I started my December Daily album with Thanksgiving, so I’m well on my way already.

If you’re looking for more inspiration, tutorials and other posts related to creating your December Daily, be sure to check out all my posts tagged “December Daily,” and remember to come back because I have a couple more things lined up to share with you as I’m traveling on my journey of this year’s DD …

Freebie Friday: A Grateful Heart, Part 3

  For the last couple of weeks I’ve been sharing with you a Thanksgiving kit to help you scrap those November moments, and today, I’m happy to share with you the second part of the papers. This kit is for personal use, and if you want to share it with anyone, send them this way so they can snatch the downloads. And if you’re just stumbling upon this website, make sure you keep scrolling down to get the previous two parts of this serious. Next week, I’ll start sharing the ellies with you, so don’t forget to come back for them, and until then I wish you happy scrapping, and happy Friday!

Hybrid Hub: Christmas Cards 2012, Part 1

I’ve been busy lately. Busy working on my Christmas cards this year. And I’m excited to share some of them with you over the next couple of weeks. So, here’s my first sample: Supplies used: White Christmas by Traci Reed & Meghan Mullens; card stock, ribbon     And since there’s so much to choose from, I’ll share another card with you: Supplies used: 12 Months December by Penny Springmann, card stock     And my last card for today: Supplies used: North Pole by Mari Koegelenberg, card stock, craft punches     If you haven’t gotten your hands dirty on creating cards, there’s tons of inspiration out on the www, and lots of simple ones, too. Like the ones I’ve been showing you today: they only require a little cutting of very simple shapes, pasting together, and they’re ready to warm someone’s heart this Christmas!

Enable Me: December Daily

Yesterday, I started talking about the  December Daily Project 2012. So, today would be a good time for me to take the opportunity and enable you with a couple of cool and helpful tools. Inspiration Of course, the #1 place to find inspiration would be Ali Edwards’ blog. She has a lot to say about making it work, and you can find a lot of awesome inspiration when you browse her blog, and she recently released a new set of templates for DD albums.   Templates Nettio Designs Since we are talking about templates already, templates are a great tool to speed up your scrapping, and there are a couple more template designers I’m aware of who have created products for a december daily project. Lynette (Nettio Designs) from the Sweetshoppe created a set of templates for a mini-album, which are perfect to help you jump start your project. She also posted some great DD inspiration on her blog. See her post on the Foundation Pages, her completed 2011 album with a couple of very …

Document Your December: December Daily 2012

  Wheee! December twenty-twelve is at hand (just a couple more days, yay!), and for many of us scrappers that means we are embarking on a new journey with the December Daily project. My 2011 DD was a blast, and so I’m super stoked to get going on this year’s album. In fact, I’ve been so eager to start that I began documenting the season with Thanksgiving (as I did last year) even though that seems a little early (yes, I can’t help it – I just love this season!). Most of you, however, won’t start until December 1st, I’m sure, so there’s still a couple more days to get ready. And with the proper preparations, completing your DD 2012 can be a breeze. Really. Last year, I documented the process of creating this project with lots of  articles, how to’s, and inspiration, and I’m hoping to share more of what’s going on behind the scenes with my own project this year. But, since I don’t want to repeat myself, today I’m just going to …

My favorite time of the year – the Christmas season – is about to start, and so today’s journaling prompts are all about getting ready for the season: And since I also had something to say about my preparations, I made a page, too: The font used for the prompts is my own handwriting font DJB Squirrels In My Pants by Darcy Baldwin (available at the Sweetshoppe).
