Julie's December Daily Card Box...

Now that I have finished scrapping for this years December Daily, I bet you are all wondering just how it will go all together as there are no holes in sight to use rings or ribbons on.

Here is the pile of cards.

Cards not pages you say?

That's because this year my December Daily is not an album this year.

The reason for all those little numbered tabs at the top of all my cards is because I decided to make this year's December Daily a card box instead.

Here is what the cards are going to be housed in

Pretty plain looking - but soon solved that issue and started to wrap up my card box.

Every present needs a bow. . .

So that is where I started. A twine bow to help keep my card box closed.

Making it look pretty, started by adding in some ribbon.

So that I could see just where the ribbon needed to go and the title card could be seen under it, I kept it in place with clip, then some more twine.

Finally added in some trim.

What is a present without a tag?

And seeing I had to cover up the back of my card box where all the trims met, that was just the place for this present's tag.

I cut a scrap of kraft to fit. Punched out a heart then finished it of with some doodling and a few word stickers before adding it to my present.

Adding some flowers.

Flowers are my favorite embellie and using them in last year's album turned it somewhat into the pregnant brick. This year I resisted the urge to use flowers on my cards. I managed to use just one and thought that having a flower spray on the front would finish it nicely. My present already had a bow, so used some washi tape to attach my flower.

Here is the finshed card box with the cards inside.

Closed.

Back

Those paper bag envelopes at the back hid the last of Hoot and Holler scrapped antics.

Open

That's my December Daily all wrapped up for another year. I think after doing three this one is my favorite so far.

Bec's Dec..... Adding in extras........

With my album now finished and Christmas over, I wanted to add in the Christmas cards that we received using the same method as I had with adding in the letter from Tinsel.

I first cut strips of paper or card (card would be stronger) about 3/4" wide.

Then I cut the strips into about 2" long and folded them in half.

When folded over I punched holes through them, remembering to keep them about 5mm away from the folded edge. If they are too close to the edge they will tear and rip easier therefore your cards or whatever you are attaching will fall out of the album.

I collected all my cards and put them in the order I wanted. (I put the cards from my family and closest friends first.)

Opening up the folded pieces exposing the inside of the tabs, I placed double sided tape (small pieces) on both sides of the tab, near the outer edge of each side.

Take the piece of paper off your double sided tape and stick one side down along the folded edge of the card.

And fold down the other side to attach both sides to the back of the card.

Do this for 2 tabs (remembering to space them at equal distances to fit on the rings) and then you have your card inside your mini album.

I have loved being able to add in my cards to my album this way. It's all together with my photos and in one album.
I hope this have given you some idea of adding your cards along with your Christmas memories all in one album.
But you can add in anything that you don't want to go into a pocket that is still able to be opened and read.

Deb's completed 2013 December Daily.........

My December Daily for this year is all done and I'm very happy with the end result although at times I did find the pastels for Christmas a bit of a challenge.

To the rings I have added some torn fabric strips and some blue spotty ribbon (although you can't really see that it is spotty) bows, a little bell charm and a couple of small baubles that decorated one of my Christmas presents this year. One was silver and the other gold and I thought the gold would look ok but I wasn't happy with it. So I painted over the gold one with some of the blue paint I had used through my December Daily and when it had dried I covered them both in some blue stickles for a bit of sparkle.

Another view.......you can see the little bits extending from the pages peeping out from the side and

at the top.............

Then when it was done I decided to add this stretchy tinsel to pop around the album. It was on another one of my Christmas gifts and thought it was too cute not to use. I've tied on a couple of little charms (a tree and a star).

So there we are.............all done for another year. I've had fun and have loved being able to share this year's December Daily journey with you.

Julie's Days 19-25

Wahoo, I have finally finished scrapping for my December Daily this year. All I need to do is some minor finishing touches and I am all wrapped up.

Day 19

The letters that I used here are some older Prima ones that I found had lost some of the stickiness and were falling off after I had taken this photo. Not wanting to glue on each individual letter, placed washi tape over the top with a see-through effect.

Day 20

The photo on the right was taken inside an inflatable snow globe.

Day 21

The last of my Christmas shopping.
Tried to keep to the red, black and white, the colours of the bags- like the Target bag in the photo - I used the cap off one of my mists dipped in paint to make the circles.
