December Daily Cover

Happy December 1st my friends. I can't believe it's already December. Where did the year go? All I can say is it's a good thing for pictures and scrapbooks because sometimes I need a reminder of the days gone by.

This will be my second year doing a December Daily. I just glanced at last year's Daily and I'm really glad I have it. This year we have a new baby in the family to add to the album. It will be neat to see how much she changes in a month.

Here is a picture of my cover for this year:

The album is a Snap album and the papers are from Simple Stories December Documented set. I cut out December 2013 with my Cricut Quarter Note cartridge at 1 1/2 inches. The blue and white polka dotted snow flakes in the background were cut from Cheerful Seasons at 4, 3 1/2 and 3 inches. The ribbon on the side is something I found in my drawer.

Beach Day

Our first time riding in a kayak and we had a blast. It was so much fun spending the day with the family.

 

For the lady in the inner tube I used the Fun in the Sun cartridge by Cricut. The letters for Safety First and Beach Day were cut from the new Cricut cartridge called When I was a Kid.

The background paper on this on this double layout was made using plain blue cardstock and then I used a background stamp to make the darker blue dots. This was the first time I've made my own background paper and I think it adds a little something extra to plain paper. It's not perfect, but that's okay.

The striped paper, yellow and red papers are from Simple Stories and the solid cardstock are from Stampin' Up.

A camping we will go...

I finally got some layouts done. Boy, it has been a long time. I really do miss scrapbooking and wish I had more time for it. I also enjoy having a pack of coordinated papers so I don't have to think about things matching. For this layout I used a pack from Simple Stories.

I think I need to add something to the right side, but I didn't want to cover up the boot prints on the paper. Hmmmm, I'll have to play with it a little more tonight. The cute little Boston Terrier belongs to my sister. Her name is Lily Lou Bug. Isn't she adorable?

All of the papers and embellishments are from Simple Stories except the solid background and the picture mats. Those are just pieces from my stash.
