DYD Album Covers

fabulous inspiration covers, these are always my sticking point with finishing anything too!

 

Love these!! I'm stuck on my cover for this year. I'm going to try to nail it down this weekend!

 

wOw Tracie!!!!! thank you so much for picking a page of mine with these awesome beauties!!!!!!!!!! you know I am a fan of yours so you made my day!!!!! I'm crazy about covers, have started already with planning mine this year as I think I'm going hybrid but still haven't found a printer to buy, ours is dead after much trying
oh , by the way, LOVE your article on the travel journals!!!

Hey girls, if you have not seen it, don't miss it, it applies for other theme scrapping too, I think!!!!
You can find Tracie's post HERE at The Pad's Blog.

 

Thank you for mentioning mine @tkradtke I love @sucali ‘s that you posted above and plan on making mine using that same December wordart. So much inspiration here, covers are also the hardest for me.

 

WoW O WOW! I love all of these covers! Ya'll are so talented. There's so much inspiration, thanks for gathering it all here for us Tracie.

Even though I'm not going to tackle DYD this year, I'm going to scraplift some of these ideas for the many Disney books I still need to finish. We've been to Disney over the holidays and I've got tons of photos that need scrappin.

 

Just wonderful pages, I love covers, lol! I think they are easier since there is less room for what is needed on the page. More creative, than a page to share a story or moment.

Maybe we could ask, nudge, suggest, plead, beg, bribe them from Liz to make all the months!? (Over time of course!) Or fun packs for each month and different words? @Scrapping with Liz

 

I love that we're all here sharing our ideas and helping and encouraging each other. I never would have known th at covers are hard for you. You make them so beautiful and they flow so perfectly, almost effortless. My trick for photo-less pages/covers is to use a quote, journal card, BIG word (like Susanne did), or word art as my focal in place of the photo and embellish around that. HTH

I've been going through some of the other DYD threads and ya'll are really inspiring me. I think I AM GOING to do DYD this year. I haven't decided what yet, but I'm going to keep it simple. I might even just go back to a previous year like @jk703 Jenn said in another thread and pick a few photos to use. That'd help me feel less behind and give my album completing confidence a needed boost. I've got so many albums started, but never seem to finish them.

 

I always name my cover December, but it actually starts the weekend after thanksgiving.

 

last year I've done this one :


and this one two years ago :

 

So, I'm going hybrid this year, in a format that is probably a third of the 12x12, is a travel book I bought last year but ended up not using in Barcelona. Our printer died though, so to get the idea out of the way, I adapted for digital, isn;t the best I done but not all too bad either LOL

 

Here's mine for this year! I finished last years by summertime at least!

Something I do that helps me scrap faster is create a library with all the papers & styles used so it's super quick! That way I just have to pull in my photos & embellishments, journal & done!

 

LOVE these!

Oh, I like that idea. Like monthly sets!
