merry & happy

Have you prepped your december mini yet?

Lots of people take the month of december to document their everyday of the season. So many ways of doing this: mini album, 12x12 spread, include it in your project life album...endless possibilities. I admit that I am a failure when it comes to this. I have tried for two years to do it and rarely make it past day 2. Whomp. Whomp.

BUT this is my year. That's right. I will succeed. I have the main pages of the album done...and it's not even Thanksgiving. Whoa.

The cover was my only techniquey thing in the whole album.  I used an exacto knife to cut a wonky star from chipboard and then covered it with dictionary paper sewn together. Now,  I love a complicated mini. I love albums that bust out lots of techniques and mind blowing layouts, but I know me and I know that if I am for real going to get my december documented, it will have to be simple. So that's what I did.

All my photos will come from my phone so I made the album sized so I could easily print from my phone, glue it in, write/type up some journaling and call it good. I'm not even sure I will do every single day. Just maybe some random highlights.
Isn't scrapbooking awesome--however you want to create is perfect. No rules. Love that.
