Ephemoire - Rustic Christmas December Daily

Hello, friends!

Today I have a fun new project for Ephemoire!
I have used some fantastic printable projects to create
my very first December Daily!

Good news:
So once you've seen my album,
you can head over to the shop and get everything to make your own! :)

I had SO MUCH FUN putting this album together!
I've always thought the idea of a December Daily is great.
However, since it's just the two of us these days,
I thought there was no point in making one.
How would I fill the pages?

Well...this year I decided that I would make one regardless. 
I'll figure out some fun ways to fill it up.
Maybe I'll even share it when it's full.

I have lots of photos to share with you.
I'll try to keep the words to a minimum. lol

Here's the front cover:

I kept the cover simple and flat.
Then I added this fabulous red ribbon belly band.


I used a Snap Album for my base.
On the inside cover I added a big pocket.
It holds extra photo mats and journaling cards,
that I will use as I fill the album.
On the first page, I made a pocket with the printed image.


The base of each page is cardstock.
I've also added punched numbers to each page,
which have been matted on black.


The cardstock page bases are grouped into four color sections.
I have added one of the Snap Pocket Pages between each color section.
The first one is shown below.


Now we move on to the next color group.


I've used the digital images, and Guest Checks as tuck spots.



Here's the next pocket page:


Now we begin the green page section.
This first green page includes one of four pockets.


I created a tag to fit into the pocket.
I added one of the elements to the top of the tag.



Here's a second pocket.


Again, I've added a tag with element.


Here I've made another big pocket with the digital image,
and I've filled it with several big tags.
Here we end the green pages with another pocket page.


Now we begin the black page section.






Here's another pocket with a tag,
and another pocket page.


We finish with one final red page for the 24th and 25th.
I added this final digital image for all my cat loving friends.
It wasn't an easy thing to do! lol


For the final page of the album
I added a full page pocket page.
It's the perfect spot to add a large photo.
I think a Christmas tree photo will go on this page.


The final page is reserved for a large family photo.


There you have it...my first December Daily!
I hope you liked it, and will consider making one of your own! :o)

Final Thoughts:

* Aside from the printable products, the only things I have added is some eyelets, and some baker's twine.
* Printables are perfect for a project like this. You never have to worry about running out of anything...you just print more!
* If you're like me, and wonder how you can fill an album like this, I've come up with a few ideas. We can add: songs, poems, verses, food photos, menus, weather, fun facts. 
* If you have any more ideas for me, please add them in the comments below. I'd love the hear your ideas.
