Hello all,
this is my first year of doing a December Journal and having completed it I wish now I had kept it simpler so that it was more about the journaling than the embellishing! Still, live and learn :0) I had these Anna Griffin papers and stickers kicking around my craft room for what must be years and every time I got them out they were never quite right for a layout or even a card - even though her samples were beautiful they always looked too fussy when I did it! I have to say some of the pages in this journal are a little bit over embellished for my taste but hey it's Christmas and if you can't be ott at this time of year, when can you???!
So I thought I would post the pages daily to correspond with the date and then after Christmas when it's all written (I'm hoping!) and bound I can show the completed journal.
The idea came from Teresa Collins who suggested that you simply fold six 12 x 12 cardstock sheets in half and trim it to 10" and punch holes for rings - easy peasy :0)
So without further ado, here is day 1....Happy December!!!
Thanks for stopping by and see you tomorrow, Ali x
