December Daily Mini Album Preparation: My Process

Yes. Really. I'm already planning ahead for this year's December album. Hey, it gets crazy during these fall months, people; and if I don't set aside time to prep now, then it will just completely get away from me.

Last year I shared my process with you in this blog post HERE. In that post, I shared some suggestions for albums, paper, embellishments, die cuts and more that you might consider when gathering items for your kit. I then went on to make the following album.

You can find additional pictures of this album HERE. Here's a little peek at one of the inside page sets:

But let's talk this year. Here are some product suggestions I have for December Daily/Mini Albums:

Die Cut Shapes (here are some suggestions from the Silhouette store. I like shapes from Loni Stevens and Echo Park Paper. Watch for additional selections coming in the 2Peas store HERE):

If you're not interested in documenting every day in December, then consider creating a December "Traditions" album (which is what mine actually was last year). I'm also considering following the antics of our "Elf on the Shelf" in an album this year. There are lots of ways to approach documenting your holiday memories. But prepare now to make the memory keeping process easier as the holidays approach!

I'd love to hear what collections or items you're thinking of using for your December album. Perhaps there's something I've overlooked that would work with mine as well.
