**CLOSED & Winner Announced** Foundation Page Challenge | DYD 2021

Congratulations @Cherylndesigns! You're the winner of this challenge!

Ready to get started even though it's not December yet? Let's make some foundation pages!

Now is a good time to start thinking about what size, shape and format you would like to do your DYD in this year. Once you have those things decided, you can start working on foundation pages.

There two ways to do this that come to mind for me... 1. make daily pages, ready to be filled or 2. skip around and focus on making pages for events you know will happen without adding a date yet.

For option 1, @marijke has great examples in her gallery for her 2020 book. She took a template set and added her papers and embellishments, all ready for photos and journaling of whatever happened on that day...



There are lots of great template choices in this year's DYD collection to use as your base...



For option 2, @plumdumpling made great foundation pages last year for her family's known events...



I especially love that she included notes as to what photos she wanted for each page.

So, now that you've seen some inspiration, let's get started making pages! There will be a random drawing for a prize ($3 gift card), so please make each page it's own post so you get more chances to win!

Challenge closes on Monday, November 15th at 11:59pm EST.

 

The challenge is now closed, but we would love to keep seeing your foundation pages, so feel free to keep adding them to the thread here!

 

Congratulations @Cherylndesigns! Check your PMs for your prize information!

 

Not boring at all! I would love to do a project like this one year and really concentrate on my photography. Be sure and post again when your templates are full!

Yay! Christmas albums are so much fun! I can't wait to see what you create!

Oh we totally don't do enough either... but there are so many ways to fill the extra days. I've added pages about my Starbucks cup, favorite Christmas Carols, the story behind some of my ornaments, etc. So many options! Some years, like last year, I don't even attempt a daily project and only scrap what things we do. With scrapping my DYD books as 8x8 pages, it's easy to fill two page spreads so I make the minimum page count to print.

YAY!! Congrats on your first DYD foundation page! That's a great idea to scrap your mug collection and that's a beautiful page to highlight your collection!
