~~ My Dec Daily: Day 1 to 5 ~~

Posted by Ania On Friday, December 17, 2010

Everybody and their mothers are making these, so why can’t I? =)

My memory is pretty fuzzy, but I don’t think I’ve done a Dec Daily before. I do remember creating a pre-made album once, to make it easier for me. I never started on the actual daily though. I guess I should browse my blog to double-check, or go look in the pile of minialbums I’ve got in a box, but…someone’s feeling very lazy =)

Nevertheless. This years daily started pretty late – I think I started the first one on monday or tuesday – but ohwell. Better late than never? Just have to remember to finish this one…

What’s making the daily pretty easy so far, is that I’m starting to love to take snapshots with my iPhone. So I’ve decided that all my images for this mini will be iPhone-pictures. Also, I’m making the pages one by one – with grand plans to bind it together once I’m done. Or something like that. We’ll see :)

Day one: papers from the older Pink Paislee Christmas collection “Mistletoe & Co”. Love that one. Tags from Elle’s Studio make the numbering so easy (Christmas Mix & Match Vintage Number Tags – love this one, hope I have enough for all the days – I know I’ve used the tags once or twice before on occasions). The “Believe” tag is another Elle’s Studio-tag, from their Christmas-release this year :) And speaking of Elle’s Studio? They have a FREE shipping day, today (Friday) only – for both US *and* International orders! (love the latter – hate it when us Internationals usually are left out on free shipping ;p)

This is as far as I’ve come atm. I hope to get to do a few more this weekend, and more important – I’m really enjoying creating these small pages for my mini SmileI think I will keep it as clean as I’ve done till now – it makes the work easy and easy = fun Smile

decdaily_measurements

I’ll probably bind the album together with either bind-it-all or loose rings – haven’t decided yet. If you’re wondering how to create this mini – these are my measurements: the whole page is 6x9 inches long – and I fold the long end at 5 / 4 inches, as shown in the picture above. Because it’ll be an open flap I create closurethingies for each pages – till now I have used either the brad-method (hm, does this kind of closure have an own name?) or the smart little 7gypsies-thingies (and uh, what’s the name of these?? Smile with tongue out).

Thanks for looking and wish me luck in actually completing this mini in the end, uh? Smile with tongue out

Have a lovely weekend Smile
