December Daily 12/09/12 - 12/11/12

Okay.. I have my pages done.. lots of work yesterday trying to get them done.

Sunday was a big day.. we went to see my sweet Mama.. she was turning 75 years young

on Monday we we wanted to see her before her big day.. seeing that her birthday was on a

Monday, and the kids are in school... so she is my main focus for the 9th.

 

December 9th..

 

we thought we would be the only ones stopping by.. but the whole family can to visit.. it was

fun seeing all my brother and sisters throughout the day.

here were some random photo's of the week that I wanted to post.. just random events ..

the grid stamped image is from the November KOM from Unity Stamp Company.. I just love

using this.. and it fits perfectly in the baseball plastic sleeve.. loved inking them up in different colours for this layout.

every year it is tradition to get out the playmobil nativity set.. The set we had the parts were missing from the manger, it was also my son's set from when he was younger.. So this year I purchased this set for Sydney.. she was thrilled that she now has one that will come out every year.. My son's is packed up with his other playmobil to take with him when he has his own home.. these are keepsakes for the kids..  they are very good toys.

 

December 10th

Today I decided that while it was my day off from lunch duty at school, I would make these easy

snow globes.. it was made in less than half an hour.. I just love them...

Here is a layout of Edward out elf on the shelf.. oh and Sydney pretending to be an elf on a shelf..lol

I used one of my new stamps for this page as well.. i love it.

 

 

December 11th

Edward is at it again.. I am loving recording his adventures.. the love Christmas tag has some

hidden journaling.. those trees are Studio Calico wood veneers with some glitter glue on top..

My newest addiction are these wood veneers.. love them.

Last layout for the 11th. I love this photo.. this is everyday life for us.. Bedtime..

every night my daughter has to have a BIG hug from her big brother Alex, she can't sleep

until this happens.. it has been happening ever since she was a newborn.. and life is just not

the same if she doesn't get that hug before bed.. Not sure what will happen when he leaves home.

I will have more photo's of the 12th on my blog at 12 midnight for the Unity HIP HOP.. so come back then and leave a comment on that post .. for a chance to win some stamps.

 

have a great night.

hugs

Angie

December Daily 12/5/12

Hello Thursday... I am so happy to be actually keeping up with my December Daily.

I am keeping it clean and simple this year.. just bits of paper and washi tape..

some great diecuts from my class 25 days of Scrapbooking with Studio Calico.

 

Yesterday these are my pages.. the journaling is hidden on the tag behind the photo

this I love to do, because the photo is the feature of the page.

Just using some MME washi tape to add some red to the page.

the milk & cookies stamp is one of mine from the November SMAK kit by Unity Stamp Company.

I wanted this kit to feature a lot of saying for my December Daily pages.. I was just

so thrilled that Angela the owner was on board and let us do this kind of kit

celebrating the happenings day to day in December!!

this kit is still for purchase.. here.

 

 

This is another photo of me.. heading to school.. and it was FREEZING COLD.. the coldest day

to date for the season.. well at least I thought so.

 Thanks for coming by and leaving comments..

 I really love reading them from you all.

have a great day.

hugs

December Daily -12/4/12

 

 

Hello everyone.. so how is it going with your December Daily , that is if you are doing it.

I am finding this year we are having a lot of fun.. even though our day's are not

filled with activity and we live a very normal life..

 

The addition of this fellow ( Edward) has sparked the holidays with glee..

My daughter has the best time in the morning and after school looking for him.

Seeing all the mischief he is getting himself into.. it is funny..

 

My 17 year old is also participating.. he is finding different ways to cause the Mischief..

It is so nice to see him enjoying the season with Edward.

 

Here he is zip lining across the dining room.. 

 

I am using lots of goodies from the 25 days class hosted by Maggie Holmes on the Studio Calico website. love all these digital files we received.

The background of my paper I stamped using the November KOM by Unity Stamp Company.

 

It was also the day to share the progress of our Advent.. this year there was no toy advent.. that I will do the last 12 days of Christmas.. All the kids wanted were the Chocolate Advents so that is what I got them. No stress advent I like that!!

 

I love the Christmas Joy stamp for the November SMAK kit from Unity.. I made that stamp

with a lot of the others from that kit.. and was thrilled to use it in my December Daily!!

 

loving these letters by American Crafts.. I think I need more.. this I got at CKU.. I need to find them to get some more for my album.

 

 

So there is Day 4.. I wonder what today will hold for us.

see you tomorrow.

hugs,

Angie

December Daily-- 12/3/12

 

Hello, yesterday I wanted to focus on Edward,

Edward is new to our home.. better known as an

Elf on the Shelf..

My daughter was so very thrilled that Santa

has allowed her to have Edward come and  oversee

the drama that takes place everyday in our home. haha

 

Well from Day one Edward has been a sneaky.. but lots of fun.

today we found him getting a little fresh with one of Sydney's new

Monster High dolls.. or was he just telling her secrets.. who knows..??

 

Here are some photo's of Edward, as we have seen him the past couple of days . I will have some pages in this album dedicated to just how Edward is behaving.. it should be a lot of fun.. and great

holiday memories to look back on.

 

I decided to pick a certain font for my album.. other than my own hand writing..

 it is called

Brush Script STD.

I really like it.

 

Here is the two page spread.. loving this style of my December Daily.. totally different for me.. but so much fun to use up some of those scraps .

See you tomorrow for another day of December Daily.

hugs,

Angie

December Daily 12/2/12

Good Morning, and welcome to my December 2nd

.

I am doing the Ali Edwards December Daily and also the..

 25 days with Studio Calico and Maggie Holmes

 

As I decided to change my papers at midnight last night..

I was going to have all different patterned papers and then thought it was

not the style of album I wanted, so I got out of bed and changed it.. haha

I am so loving that I did.. I really love the white background with the colours of details

much better.. it all seems to stand out now.. Thank goodness for an abundance of white

 

American Crafts cardstock. haha.

So here is December 2, 2012

we put our tree up !!

 

I am cutting my album pages different sizes.. some will be 6.5x11 some 7.5x11 and some 8.5x11

so I will have lots of scrap pieces.. So I decided to layer some of  the pieces,, not wanting to

waste any of this cardstock.. adding different border punches gives the white background the feel

I want to achieve with my album. You will see what I mean in this next page.

Hope to see you tomorrow :)

Hugs

Angie
