December Daily Album

Here are the first two pages of my December Daily album a la Ali Edwards. I have a photo to order for day 1 and journalling for both Day 1 & 2 ready. Most of the basic pages are ready, I'll try to post them all in advance as I have time over the next few days. I love what I have so far though. I did take a little more time in creating than I probably should have, but I knew from my calendar some days had special events. In some cases there are a multitude of special events scheduled and while I know I'll want to record those, I also know those busy days will leave less time for changing up album pages later. So I tailored the pages some now, choosing just the right papers and size, while leaving others without dates so I can move or change them as needed.

The first page is acrylic, from one of the many albums I accumulated when I was receiving kits. I intend to leave it as more of a title page. Day 1 info. will be placed on the striped Basic Grey paper (Christmas 2008 vintage), and Day 2 on the backside. The actual album I am not sure about. It is a red courderoy Chatterbox album, which I love. Being post-bound, it doesn't allow the acryllic pages to turn very well. Right now I have old ribbon holding the pages together, but I may punch holes in inner binding and add circle rings, or large D rings if I can find them. I'd really like to use what I have instead of buying something else. I COULD use a larger piece of acryllic for a cover, however I like my first page and I don't think thsoe stickers will come up nicely enough so I can reuse them. And I really like the red album, so we'll just have to wait & see what happens!
