My little bit of DD --- and a winner!

Last year was the first year that I attempted to do a December Daily album.  I say attempted because I only completed 8 days.  But I guess when you figure it's a 25 day project I completed almost 33%.  That sounds a little better.

Now, I'm left with trying to decide whether I should actually finish last years using last years photos and trying to remember what to journal from that long ago.  Or, should I just put a neat divider and start this year fresh and figure that my DD can have what it has and not worry so much about getting an entire month.

I am leaning toward the second option as I just am not good at doing previous projects.

At any rate, I thought I'd take a couple of days and show you what I did get accomplished for last year. I do have to say that I really love what I did now that I'm looking back at it.  FYI, it is 6 x 12 for those who care to know.

Here's a little look-see at the first few days.

The first page is basically just a transparency.  I folded some paper to create a margin to punch holes in so I didn't have to use more of my transparency.  This way, I could get two dividers out of each transparency and still have the width I needed.



The first couple of days I was extra zealous and did two pages each. (that did not continue, LOL)

  





 

You'll notice a fair bit of white space.  I liked leaving that.  It just felt like it left room and was comfortable.  I think this year, I may not want to feel like I have to print all the journaling as that ends up taking a lot more time and planning and really slowed me down last year.

I'll show you the rest tomorrow!  Hope it was fun.

And now for the winner of my little contest.  After all those answers, I really couldn't choose anything else but 'Chicken Dance'!  So our winner is mandyb!  Send me your mailing address Mandy and I'll get this Washi Pop in the mail to you.  Thanks to everyone for playing along!

  10. The December Daily album always takes much longer then I think it will! Told myself I wasn't going to do one this year, for that reason, but alas I just finished mine up yesterday. But it can be a draining project for me...don't know why...I should learn to keep it more plain.

  11. i have never completed a DD during december...but this will be my 4th year doing one. i am hoping to be more current and stay on top of it this year...but i have to say that i LOVE having the previous years to look back on (and so do my kiddos!) i take good notes each day and make a file of pictures i want to use so that if/when i *do* get behind ;) it's easy to finish up later.

    yours looks lovely!

  15. Looks awesome! I love the transparency pages. I have only been able to start and complete ONE Dec. Daily album. A few others have been a fail, so you are not the only one! :)

  16. Love your pages! I have an easy time starting DD, but a hard time keeping it up! I love the white space on your pages too!

  17. I think starting fresh for a 2011 DD would be easier than trying to go back and finish last years. Love what you did get done though :)
