December Daily Days 1-3

Hi everyone. So how's your December Daily coming? I'm actually late on my album and I don't want to worry about it. Why? 1.)Because I know that if I worry, I won't be able to make a neat and memorable DD album for my family. 2.) I was in the look out of what day numbering to put on my album, but I cannot for the love of me insert different numbers and/or card numbers in random pages. That ladies and gents is my ocd knocking my brain out. And since my photo paper arrived late, and then I procrastinate in trial printing so here is my Day 1-3.

I already posted about the album and my chosen kit so here they are.

(the photo's kinda soft right? yeah, I edited that on my phone using Aviary - my favourite

edting tool)

Here's the front page - the December calendar.

That snowflake was actually a button I saw at Walmart.

Here's my Day 1. I made the December 1 card. I saw someone  (not sure if FB or IG) who has a not so similar card where you can add journaling under the line, but I don't like it so I made a simplier

ad a little bolder one. The button was from Walmart.

Day 2. I'm not impressed with the way I included my daughter's wishlist, the one on blue notebook pages. But she writes big and she wrote 12 things on her wish list, all she found on youtube toy unboxing (go figure). Of course we didn't but them all since most of them were only available in Japan. 

(EDIT) Here's the 2nd page of my day 2. I feel so embarrassed by that two 3x4 photos I washi taped at the back of the starbucks' paper bag, so at this point I removed them and inserted them in a fuse pocket from Becky Higgins which I bought from Michael's. My first time in Michael's and my husband and daughter asked to stay in the car since it's taking me soooo long to choose 'stuff.'

Day 3. You know how you love a photo even though it's blurry so you still include it? That's the story of the big photo of my daughter. We went to Downtown because the city opened up the ice skating rink but I'm too chilly to have steady hands. The brush stamps were from Peppermint Creative. I put the journaling after taking this photo.

Detail.

Will continue my post next time. Hoping to add more stories and memories on my album. Happy scrapping everyone!

December Daily 2016 Unboxing

Hey all!

So, you may have already read some posts and videos of their unboxing their December Daily 2016 kits.

Well, I received my own box last week but it took me this long to make a post because I was drroling all over it! Lol! Well this will be my first December to order a physical kit from Ali for my December Daily and I must say that I really liked my Paislee Press kit. Although I was thinking that I should have also bought Ali's main kit, I don't want to overwhelm myself with so much stuff since I just moved here in the US and I may not have the right yet to hoead (?) *insert evil emoticon smilling*

Yup. I don't have a shelf yet to put my stash and other books on. But I have the energy to make my DD for this year.

So here are a couple of pictures I took:

Even the box is usable in terms that you can use it as card/s.

And the inside!

I love the washi although I'm a little sad that they're not in roll, so I ordered on amazon some

washi tapes that kind of compliments the original. And oh too bad I forgot to but an ink pad so I bought one from amazon too (thank you amazon! :)  )

The alpha looks like a vinyl or wood and it's nice.

Right now I'm preparing my Day in the Life templates and my 30 Days of Thankful templates that I bought at Designer Digitals in September.  Kinda too much? Well this is my first time to be able to print my photobooks at ---- yeah I'm still checking on that. Because back in my country, I only have a very few choices to choose from. So I'd like to try my options here. I'm going to update you with the details but don't forget about the Day in the Life on October 27, Thursday. I'm actually thinking of using a smashbook but I'm still weighing because I bought a template from Ali and I'm still doing pl on the app, I will like it if I could have a very interesting and eventful Thursday, of course hoping for a very good Thursday :)

December Daily 2016

Hi all! I know, I've been MIA for six months. Can you imagine that? SIX MONTHS. Ugh! Who does that? Obviously me huh. Yeah, with the house move and then a couple of months later a continent, seriously, I was busy to the core. And now I lost my external hard drive. Yeah, my beloved external had drive with TONS of pictures and scrapbook kits, I was so down. I lost my ehd in August and I just realized it in early September. So I've been contacting some stores where I bought kits from if the links where no longer available for me. Some were accomodating, one was asking me for a 20% of the amount of the kit for processing she said. Yeah, I have to understand the ridiculousness but I hope I was given a heads up from the TOU yeah? *sigh*

Anyway... December is fast aproaching and what better ways to wait for it than to prepare your December Daily materials right? This is my first time to order a physical kit online. I ordered the December Daily Paislee Press mini kit. I love the black and white and red color that dominates her mini kit that's why I chose it. I also want Ali's main kit but I told myself to just choose one, hehe. I also ordered the Christmas Star 4x6 stamp and I'm really excited for them to come in the mail!

But this morning while I was cleaning the house, I received a trully happy mail, the first of the two hehe. My order from Scrapbook.com came today and I was really ecstatic because I'll be doing a physical December Daily this year! Here's what I received in the mail today:

I will be doing a 6x8 album this December. Here's the list of the products should you want to know:

           1. My Storybook 6x8 Photo Journal (Red Dot)
           2. My Storybook Pocket Pages - 6x8, 2x2, 3x4, 4x6, 3x4 and 4x6 combo
           3. Simple Stories Classic Christmas Collection-Cardstock Sticke with Foil Accent
           4. Becky Higgins project Life Currently Edition Collection - Roller Stamp

I'm also planning on using some of the photo templates that I was able to re-download when I edit my photos. Hopefully I would be able to upload and update you on my DD album. Oh and when I receive my happy mail (hopefully) next week :)

But that's not all I'm preparing for this year. I'm also preparing my digital #30daysofthankful by Cathy Zielske, one of my fave blogger and scrapper. I already bought her 30 days of Thankful bundle no.6 and the 30 days of Thankful no.3. I'll be doing the 5x5 digital and hoping to complete them before the end of November before I start the DD and have them printed.
