Kaisercraft, Let it Snow - Ready for December

If you popped onto our social media channels last month you will have seen that I received the entire Kaisercraft, Let it Snow collection bundle to play with! Pinch me, what a collection! 

Imagine teal, silver and white foundation colours embellished with loads of shiny bits and amazing wood veneers. Wait, don't imagine it, you can see all the goodies in my unboxing video  - caution major enabler alert, the collection is absolutely fantastic and we still have these goodies in the shop!   

Seeing the colours and touches in this collection, I could not resist pairing it with some red cardstock, red/white twine from my stash and a Simple, Stories, SN@P 6x8 Album from the Scrap Shotz shop to create my entire December Daily 2019 foundation album. Yup the whole thing is ready for December! 

A December Daily is a project you create by documenting December memories each day for the month of December. I created my first one a couple of years ago and loved how I found ways to bring the December spirit into our lives so I would have great things to scrapbook. Win, win - I got to experience a great memory and I had an excuse to scrapbook a little bit every day! 

So excited to show you my Kaisercraft, Let it Snow December Daily album ....

Now I just have to wait  the 47 sleeps until December 1st so I can start making holiday memories and loading up this album with photos, journaling and ephemera! I will be sure to do another flip through video once it's complete in January. 

Do you December Daily? We would love to hear about your project! 

Think Outside the Pocket

Christmas is here! Well at least it is for me!

This month I am playing with a new line from Kaisercraft called Let it Snow. Wow! Enabler alert, check out this unboxing video to see all the goodies Scrap Shotz sent me to play with:

As soon as I started riffling through the papers and embellishments I knew I wanted to create my 2019 December Daily with this amazing collection. I love teal and silver as a Christmas color combination and knew if I threw in some red cardstock from my stash this would make a perfect December Daily 8x8 mini pocket page album. So fun!

Today I wanted to highlight the pages in this mini album that are outside of the pocket. Yup, outside of the pocket! When creating a pocket page album, I like to make sure I add some embellishments to the outside of the pocket and some themed shaped cardstock pages too. I find with mini albums you can do so many fun things to add texture and interest to the album.

Here are a few examples from this project to help inspire your plans for this year's December Daily (which is approaching too quickly, its almost October already!)

Cluster your embellishments with some in and some out of the pocket:

Consider not using a pocket page protector and making a feature or title page:

Include a few pages that are cut and decorated to match the theme of your mini album:

I will be sure to share more of this album as I create and cannot wait to post a full flip through video too. Are you thinking about your December Daily already? I would love to hear about it and see what you create!
