December Details Albums Inspiration + Organizing Supplies for Success

SO fun to see them like that! Thanks again Cheryl for your mad template skillz...

 

I love these templates!!! And the best thing about them is you don’t need to use them for an album, they make awesome one page layouts too!! But you can also use them for an album. How crazy is that?!

 

Thanks for all the videos! I love seeing your templates in action all in a row!

 

Loved the videos! Thanks Cheryl and @amien1 The libraries, in addition to easier custom shadows, are another reason I put CC on my Christmas list.

I've never been focused enough to do DYD. I'm slow getting the Christmas decorations out and I forget to take photos everyday so I just scrap the ones I do take. I love that the DYD album templates can be used for individual layouts and for non-Christmas themes too.

 

I love Cheryl's templates - they are so easy to use. I am still scrapbooking life as we live it and we haven't started Christmas shopping or any of the festivities yet - so this layout was a recent coffee and cake date.

 

I used the first set for the second year I did DYD. I used some templates multiple times and some not at all. Since then I've used sets from another wonderful template designer, SWL. So many awesome choices between FDD and SWL, it is no wonder they are my 2 favorite template designers! And, yes, many of these templates can be used for individual layouts anytime of the year.

As for actually doing DYD, I focus more on my day to day. As some of you know, I'm not a big fan of Christmas and the month of December is actually when the SAD hits me. Once January gets here, I'm fine even with cold temperatures! So I just concentrate on non-holiday layouts in my album for the most part. I do slip in a couple usually of the few decorations I put out and one for Christmas Day... usually of my meal. Last year's was about a Zoom I put together for the family. I have found that this helps keeping the SAD to a minimum since I'm not sitting around and moping about everything.

 

I've used many of these templates!

I watched the last video. I've never used libraries in Photoshop, but I can see so many possibilities! Is there a limit on size or how many items you can put in the library? Are they actually uploaded to the cloud or just linked my hard drive?

 

Thanks for the great explanation above. I've never done a DYD since our family doesn't celebrate Christmas and it's hard to find nice Chanukah kits (I really hate blue/white/gold).

But I loved what your CT member did with her cute ornament in a photo every day. It's giving me an idea of how to document my December without it having to be all about Christmas or Chanukah. Thanks for wonderful inspiration!

 

This is the clearest explanation I've seen so far! Thank you! It really makes my head spin! I have the Photography plan but that isn't much space if you try to upload any scrap pages. I'm giving the library a try and we'll see what happens!

 

What a great presentation!!

 

Since Christmas is a bit different over here than in some other countries (in my family at least, we celebrate Sinterklaas early December with gifts) and I don't have a lot of real Christmas photos, I sometimes get stumped for DYD. Christmas for us is being together and mostly no gifts I decided to scrap some of our Christmas traditions. Here are 2 LOs I did:

 

Yes to more of the pets dressed up photos!

 

Yes, this song is perfect hahaha!

 

OMG Cheryl I have been so buried in "other" projects for gifts and dealing with timelines, I did not look at very much here... just found this... I think you may become my go to for understanding all of this... as I said this afternoon, I have it all, just have not used it... need to stop and dig in and learn I guess.... Libraries sound interesting Not interested in creating a new album for this year... still plenty left from last year... sigh.....

 

Cheryl dear thank YOU so much for all the videos, I've learned so much just watching them.
LOVE your templates, fabulous!
