DCWV December Daily Album Part 2

Hello, DCWV friends! I am back to share PART 2 of December Daily Album! I am excited to be working on this in advance in hopes that I will actually finish it this year! If you happened to miss my first post, you can find it HERE! I am using the new DCWV DIY Project Stack - Favor Boxes to create my entire December Daily Album.

 

Today, I am showing how I am embellishing the pages. I started with the opening page. I cannot decide if I want it to be a title page or a photo. So I add one of the simple punch-out banners included in the Project Stack

 

 

I decided to have two pages per day. One for the Instagram photo and the other to add any journaling. I did find it hard to do the embellishments before hand. I feel like I will add more once I have the chosen picture for the day.

 

 

 

 

The Project Stack includes a variety of punch-out embellishments that I plan to use throughout the album. Some of the embellishments are the numbered ornaments. The stack includes the number 1-25 and a few blank ones.  I decided to use a variety of stickers to and the dates to the blank ones.

 

 

I have some of them already punched out and ready to go.

 

 

 

I love the character the tabs give the album when it is closed!

 

 

Thank you for stopping by today! Have a great day!

DCWV December Daily

Hello, DCWV friends! It is Jessi and the holiday crafting season is here! DCWV has a new DIY Project stack coming to Jo-Ann stores soon. The Holiday DIY Project Stack is for Favor Boxes. However, I decided to switch it up some! And let me admit, I am going out of my comfort zone!!



Each year I keep telling myself that I would make a December Daily to document the holiday season. However, each year goes by and no December Daily! When I received this stack, I was determined to make one! So this year I am glad to say I will finally have a December Daily album.

My plan for this album is to have an Instagram pic for each day. So I grabbed one of the DCWV Insta Photo Albums available at Jo-Ann stores.



The first step I took was to create the album cover. I took some of the patterned prints and the die cut embellishments available in the DIY Stack. I also used a variety of dies for the wreath and the gold letters. Every time I added something to the cover, I felt like I needed to fill up any white space. This was odd for me, because when I create cards, I LOVE white space!

After the cover was done, it was time to create the pages. I used all the prints available in the stack and cut done the pages. The idea is to include the instagram photo on one page. The other side with have a place for the journalling.

Sorry, I do not have the pages embellsihed yet. It is a very long process for my. I have to say that this cover took me over a week to complete...and I am still unsure it is finished! However, I will be using the embellishment diecuts available in the stack.



I will be back in 2 weeks to showcase a few of the pages that I created for my December Daily album. See you then :)

Have a great day!
Jessi
