Document Your December: List Style
Today I am going to share with you a new to me approach to Document Your December.December is a busy month and while it is important to me to document all of the memories, I don't always have time to be super creative. I have learned, after a few years of incomplete DYD projects (insert sad face), that simplicity is what works for me. This year, I am following a simplified approach to the Document Your December concept by using lists. I am a note taker and a list maker at heart. If it weren't for keeping lists I wouldn't be able to remember all of the things that need to be done in my daily life. Earlier this year I found a community of listers. Yes! I am not alone. There are others that "love to list" as much, if not more, than myself. I have been "creatively listing" everything from the grocery list to wish lists ever since. Fast forward to June, when I was introduced … [Read more...]

DYD: Confetti Pockets
Hey scrappers, Polly Jewelle here! I'm so excited because December 1st is finally here! I along with many other will be starting to document their December today. Before you get started I have another tutorial to share with you. Today I'm going to demonstrate how to make confetti pockets. I'm going to show how to make a confetti pocket for hybrid albums as well as how to make one on a digital layout. Let's get started!Digital Confetti Pocket1 - Compile your layout including a clear pocket for confetti. On my layout below I used the clear 3 x 4 pocket in Pear Tree {confetti} by Sara Gleason. 2 - Add scatters inside of your pocket. To do this all scatter layers should be BELOW your pocket layer. Spend time spreading your scatters out so they aren't all bunched together. 3 - Add shadows to the scatters. Keep in mind how each type of scatter will have a different size … [Read more...]
