In the year 1PB (Pre-Blog) I was lucky enough to win a place on Shimelle's "Journal Your Christmas" course and made a mini-album documenting Christmases past and present, our December traditions and activities, the weather as well as New Years Resolutions and the start of 2010. Thirty seven pages (December 1st - January 6th) plus a couple of extras, bound into a fat little album which will be fun to look back on. The pages are here if you're curious.
- Do LOTS of preparation before December: make a month's worth of blank pages, journalling spots, date spots, etc and just add the photos and journalling on a daily basis.
- Keep it really, really simple: just a photo a day, some journalling and the date.

My thanks to Mary for her recent gift of bright green buttons used here :o)

Keep It Simple, Stupid!
To give the pages continuity I have picked out some Basic Grey flourish stamps, printed off my own date spots using Kingthings Willow and am typing up the journalling with Type Ra font.

I love what you are including in your December album - those birds in the snow, and the cute stamps. Can't wait to see more!
