SSINKspiration Daily December: Easily Documenting all the Holiday Memories!

Good morning! Are you ready for the weekend?  With all the holiday happenings it's easy to take lots of pictures, and maybe you get a few posted to Facebook or Instagram but then after the holidays they sit on your phone and not looked at often.  I love all the fun of the holidays but I also love to look back and remember all those memories and enjoy them with my family which means they need to get off my phone and organized, enter the Project Life by Stampin' Up! product line.  Today on the SSINKspiration blog we're sharing ideas using the Daily December product suite and how it makes holiday memory keeping quick and easy.

This is my third year doing a Daily December album and I love it!  I work on the album early (September/October timeframe) so the album is all decorated and the page layouts designed (I'll add sticky notes to the pages with different activities so I have an idea of what I'm doing some days and others are just fun things, like decorations, or just everyday things like basketball practice, the dentist, it's all part of our holiday season) so come December I just need to slide in the pictures, and some journaling and I'm done (awesome!!)  By preworking my album I'm able to have it finished and ready to enjoy before the start of the New Year. 

For the most part I use all the items in the Daily December Card Collection and Accessory Kit (which just a few added pieces here and there).  This means I cut up some cards to use as elements in different pockets and help you get the most bang for the kits.  Below are several pictures of the album and different pages I've finished for you to enjoy!

Thanksgiving - Our festivities start before December 1 so I start my album a little early

I hope this has provided some inspiration and you take the plunge to get those pictures off your phones and into albums so you can enjoy them for years to come!

 Have a great weekend!

Project Life by Stampin' Up! Daily December: Finished Album

Good morning!  We’re back home and back to the daily routine (and secretly missing the warm weather and hoping for spring to arrive soon!)  So I realized the other day that in December I shared the start of my Daily December project (using the Project Life by Stampin’ Up! items) with you and promised I would share the finished album and haven’t.  So today’s your lucky day!  I finished the majority of my album on December 26 (sent all my Christmas pictures out to be printed Christmas night so they were ready the next morning).  Unfortunately I forgot one and then wanted to add pages from the rest of our holiday break so I just finished it.  Mainly I used the December Daily Project Life Card Kit and matching Accessory Pack but did also add some elements of my own to fit what I wanted.

So here’s my entire album: 

I have to say I absolutely love how this turned out and love that I have a finished album for us to enjoy right away, not having the pictures whiled away on my computer and phone where we can’t enjoy them.  I won’t be doing this daily photo concept for our entire year (let’s admit it our life isn’t that exciting) but for special times this is perfect and will definitely be going this again next year.

Even though this kit isn’t available for sale anymore Stampin’ Up! has some great Project Life items that can help you with your memory keeping, just ask me how!  Even better, schedule a ladies night for a fun with wine and photos and you and your friends can leave with pages completed and ready to enjoy!

Enjoy!
