This has to be one of my favorite project of the year! But when working on a bigger project something has to go wrong, that is a rule and in my case my printer died half way in. How ever I had a system in place so when I got a new one, after Christmas I sat down for a day and it was all done!
Some of these earlier pages you can see the process of in the December Daily videos. Some of the pages I have changed but in all I'm so happy with how it turned out!!
What do you do when the printer doesn't print? My printer went on a strike this Sunday and doesn't seem to be willing to get back to work. So what I thought I would share my tips for when you can't or won't print your photos right away.
1. Journal. Each day I have written down a specific story and I'm so happy I decided to do that. Now I have the rutin and later I can just go back when I scrapbook that day.
2. Generic photos. I like to print out some generic photos in November to have for my DD. These can be photos from around your house, ornaments, nature and family. Photos that you can tell a story about for those empty days or when you simply don't have a photo.
3. Post-it it. I put my post-it on every page, sometime several on one page. Not only will these tell you that you have something planed but what and how it's planed.
I'm sorry to say that there is allot of missing prossec in the video but i thought you might want to see what ever there is. I will try to be better for the next days! Here we have the start of December:
Day 30 & December Intro

You can see my other pages from this and previous years on my
My album is starting to come together and I just love it! This is my first time preping and making "pages" in advance and I really like it. I makes it allot easier to see how the album will and to plan out the pocket designs. I'm sure allot will change but for now here is how it looks:
This beautiful calander was made by the super talented Marie Lottermoser and you can print one for your self! I found this that was in the perfect colors! I have used her calenders in all of my December Daily's and just love them!
