December Daily .. who is doing it and what is your game plan?

oh I am almost done with last years....lol
I am taking the shots, and will do it...love it!

 

tell me more please about the Handbook???

 

I haven't made specific plans yet, but I know I this much - I will going hybrid for the 4th year in a row! I cannot wait to see what the designers here have in store for DYD!!

 

I don't do a December daily but do take as many photos as I can and then do a few 8x10 collages. This year I am going to go bigger and do a digi grid style collage with embellishments, sort of like an oversized PL page. I need to watch for sales for large frames.

 

you had me with the red! oh my goodness....I love it

 

Oh wow, are we seriously talking about this already, LOL!! I'm thinking I'll do it this year, but all digi and probably brag book style so I don't get overwhelmed. I took a lot of great photos last year, but didn't manage to do the pages.

 

The Handbook format is a good one indeed. Last year I used a Martha Stewart binder (it's just a smidge smaller) from Staples, and it was easy to put together with the pockets - it takes away a lot of guess work/preparation. Plus, using that format makes it easy to use up all the Christmas PL supplies I have accumulated. The drawback is that I don't have a large format printer so it's a bit of a waste to print out hybrid designs that fit the 4x6 pockets. Anyway, I will reevaluate when December comes nearer, and I can see how much energy I have left - if I survive these next 2 months and finish my degree!

Thank you so much, Shanna! I love everything you do!! I especially love that you love color as much as I do!

 

If I can finish last year's DD before December of this year I may attempt hybrid again.

I love the handbook in the SC DD this year...I wish I could but just that part...but I will probably do a SN@P again. Micheal's had albums and inserts on clearance a couple month back so I picked up a couple extras

 

you know, the hybrid option might actually get it done by January, as the kiddo would want to do it each day with me, like the advent and Jesse tree. the digital version turns into a compilation of several years days as I just run out of steam or get waylaid mid month.

Brilliant. Elegant simple setup. Thanks for the gentle nudge, Shanna! what are your online shops of choice?

 

I'm totally new to the DYD idea. What do you scrap about everyday? I take it it's all about getting ready for Christmas/elf on the shelf/etc? We don't have kids and just do a few simple decorations and I'm on a strict diet (so not much baking done around here) so I'm trying to think what in the world I would do for it. Any out of the box ideas? It sure sounds like fun though!!

 

one year I did each day...even if it wasn't Christmas orientated. it was more like a month in the life of
then last year I did THE Book
each page was
The Hat, The Tree, The Lights, etc

I liked that idea, but have to think this year how to do it different!?!?!
