For the last few years Yvette has scrapped a
"December Daily" album, which is a page a day in December {duh, slapping hand on forehead} with a photo and some journalling. Not a full-on novel of journalling, or a whole wedding album full of pics, just a nice simple "one picture, with a few sentances" kinda thing. I have LOVED looking through her albums over the past few years, but seeing as my December life up until now hasn't been that interesting (read: work, put up tree, work, bake, work, etc etc) I haven't found it that inspiring to scrap about! Now I have Jaimeson I'd 
like that to change, and having the December Daily book to fill in will inspire me to get out and do more Christmassy things, and record them too! I never usually scrap Christmas pages, I have no idea why {looking confused} so this will be fun!One thing I Love about Yvette's album is the collection of mis-matched pages that she uses. I think it looks really cool! And it encourages you to look through the whole album cos it isn't just more of the same. I'm totally working on that same idea with my book. I started with a black chipboard Basic Grey album I got on sale at Spotlight for $5. Not bad I thought, cos I loved the shape and it had about 6 or so pages. Then I went through my mountain of scrapbook supplies and pulled out all the Christmas theme items and have created a "kit" of them to reach for during December when I will be scrappin like crazy! I went through the kit and pulled out all the tags and papers that I thought
were page-worthy and I punched holes and threaded them onto the rings that came with my Basic Grey album. I shuffled the pages around a bit til I was happy with the layout and voila! I am ready to embellish come next week! Well I couldn't help myself either, and I have already decorated the front of the album :)My fave double spread ready to be embellished is this green sparkly Top Note cut-out (a Stampin Up die) and opposite it is a clear acetate square with a black frame. I chose those two pages to be for the December 14 layout cos that's Willy's birthday! I do love that giant red spot and the funky holly leaf papers too. Well, I love it all. I'm very excited for December to be coming so I can start my album!

What a great idea for an Album, I really like it. I like the way the pages are all different,which like you said makes you want to look at each page. This would be a great album to do leading up to a wedding or when you were having a baby or something like that.
Oh how exciting!!!!! I love your album - the cover is beautiful! And I love your collection of pages. I had so much fun doing my album and I love looking at it each Christmas. Should I bring it up at Christmas time? It will be too late for inspiration then tho LOL.
This looks awesome!! Wish I had been organised enough to do a December Daily!!
