December Daily

I've always been a huge fan of daily December albums probably because I love the holiday season so much. I love the music, the decorations, the tree, the lights, the baking, the colours, the smells, the movies, the feeling, the get together with friends and family. It's such a special time of year. I've always want to do a daily December album after seeing Ali Edward's. She is such an inspiration. Check out her album's here. Last year I was going to give it a go and I even got as far as making the cover but that was about it. See below. I ended up making a digital daily December album. It's still in the works and I hope to have it done by the end of the year. See below to view my completed pages. All products are from Designer Digitals. Click on my Gallery link to see all credits. This year I think I'm going to incorporate my daily December right into my Project Life since Project Life is all about recording special moments throughout the week. I will be including lots of extra bits n pieces like holiday cards, wrapping paper, digital scrapbook pages and extra inserts for photos and other memorabilia. It will be great to see it all come together. If you're looking for some great inspiration check out Pinterest. There are a lot of amazing albums out there to see. December 1st is this Saturday and I can't wait as we will be picking out this year's Christmas tree. It would be perfect if we had a little snow falling when we went and picked it out :) Just saying LOL! We have made it a tradition to go the first Saturday in December and we ask both sets of parents to come to share the moment with us and our kids. Looking forward to carrying this tradition on for years to come. A questions for my readers -  Do you have a fake tree or do you get a real one? What colours do you use on your tree? Do you change them up every year? Do you collect anything at the holidays? Can't wait to read your response. Have a great week! Til next time - Tara

Project Life-Extra Inserts

Today I'm going to show you a few of my extra inserts that I have added to my Project Life. I LOVE adding extra inserts rather it's brochures, extra page protectors to hold more photos or even a Tim Horton's box. Adding inserts is a great way to have more room to add extra photos and memories without having to add a new 12 x 12 page protector or doing a whole new spread. As I've said before, some weeks I don't have enough stuff for a double page spread. I'm okay with having two weeks in one spread. These weeks I'm most likely adding in an extra insert. 

This is a Pinnacle Collection Card Page Protector that I got at Walmart. This extra insert shows the interests that Hubby and I were into at that time. I think this is going to be a cool thing to look back on not just for us but the kids as well.

The one on the left is a Martha Stewart 5 1/2" x 8 1/2" page protector. I try each month to complete the instagram challenge. I love that they are random photos capturing bits and pieces of life. On the right is the Pinnacle Collection Card page protector which I used again to put extra memories from Addison's Birthday Party.

This week I added the Martha Stewart 5 1/2" x 8 1/2" page protector to hold more photos from the week but I also included some brochures from the Butterfly Conservatory.

Since I'm a digital scrapbooker as well, once and awhile I like to include some of my digital pages. All digital supplies are from Designer Digitals. See credits HERE. This is also displayed in a 6x6 Making Memories page protector.

This week I included a brochure which I placed some of my journaling on. I also included a Tim Horton's Timbit box. I liked how Summery it looked. My goal was to store some extra photos in it. I haven't done it yet, but I might go back.

Thank you for checking in! Have a great Sunday Night! - Tara

Two Layouts from last year that I loved. The first one was a lift of Crystal Page. I knew as soon as I saw her's that  I had to lift it. Thanks again Crystal for the inspiration.

A few fall pages that have caught me eye.
