December Daily Organization using Deflecto® Crafts

Are you a fan of the December Daily Albums? I love making them every year. Although these days I only do the last 12 days before Christmas. Since it is just us and the hounds here there days, it is pretty boring!  I normally keep everything in a little basket in my studio, but this year I wanted to have my supplies in the living area so I would work on it in the evening and still visit with the hubs.

I used the Deflecto® Large Three-Drawer Organizer for the larger supplies and a single drawer from the Small Three-Drawer Organizer to hold smaller supplies. I gathered up my papers, embellishments, adhesives, my album, and all the other things I decided to use this year.  I sorted everything by type and how I would be using it. I normally use a 6x8 album from Simple Stories - I like the size. The pages are big enough to hold two small photos, but not so large that it takes me forever to finish a page!

 I stored my 12 x 12 papers in the bottom drawer of the Large 3-Drawer Organizer. I normally try to keep my supplies to a minimum so I can create my pages quickly. Too many options slows me down! This year I selected some papers from Bella BLVD and Doodlebug Designs. They are both so cheerful and use non traditional colors. I can't wait to see how my album turns out. 

 Look how cute these papers are! I love those little reindeer. When I am ready to work on my album - which happens about every other day- I can just grab my supplies and start. No need to sort through a bunch of random supplies every time. Everything will be right where I need it. I am super excited about it.

I have several 12x12 sticker sheets that I am using this year and I love how easy they will be to sort through and use. The Large Drawers are the perfect size for storing 12 x 12 papers and embellishment sheets. How cute are those little Shape Sprinkles from DoodleBug Design? I think they may be my favorite product this year!

To store my smaller items I used one drawer from the Small Three-Drawer Organizer. It was perfect to hold my stamps, ribbons, adhesives, and journal pens. Since the drawers in the Small Organizer are divided they hold the larger items upright and keep everything in it's place. Everything is visible and easy to grab - I love it!

Hi everyone! 

Today I want to share my December Daily that I taught at 

Holiday Journey this past weekend at The Crafty Scrapper.

I used the Teresa Collins' Santa's List paper line and I love it!!

I saw this line at CHA back in July and knew I wanted it for this class!

There are lots of photos, just saying!

I used a Maya Road 3-ring binder for this album.

Lots of space for journaling and all your bits and pieces in this album!

I used Dylusions sprays to color the album.

Holiday Journey Sneak Peeks

Good morning everyone!

Yes, it is 3am and I cannot sleep for some reason :( 

Which is bad, because the cat has to be at the vet at 8am!!!

But since I am wide awake I might as well blog, right :o) 

I am teaching at an event hosted by The Crafty Scrapper 

the first weekend of November called The Holiday Journey.

This is going to be an awesome weekend! We will have Caroline Lau from Maya Road

and Carolyn Ross from The Crafty Scrapper teaching a class- fabulous- 

and there will be two more classes; Gena is teaching one and I am teaching the other. 

We will have MNT's and cropping Friday night,

and all three classes on Saturday. 

Fun filled weekend all the way around!

Here are a couple of peeks at my projects;

I will be teaching a December Daily Album using 

Teresa Collins new line along with LOTS of Maya Road!! 

This little book is jam packed full of surprises!!

I went very vintage with my MNT, using antique sheet music,

burlap, ric-rak and lots of glitter! This little thing is super cute!!

I can't wait for this event to get here!

We have some great sponsors for the event including Maya Road,

Teresa Collins, Crate Paper, Xyron, and others.

Everyone think good thoughts for me- I go in on Friday the 13th

to have my tonsils removed :o(

I am soooo not looking forward to this.

December Daily 2012 w/ Kaisercraft

Good afternoon to all my blogging buddies!

I am on my second day ALL ALONE here in the 

house - it is so quiet. Just me, the cats, and the dogs :)

The hubs is working a special event all weekend and DD2

is out with a friend. Lot's of time in the studio!! 

I just realized that I have a project I never posted here on the 

blog- a class I did last fall for The Crafty Scrapper

a fabulous little December Daily using Kaisercraft papers.

Someone who purchased a kit is working on it

and needed the photos, which is how I came to realized 

they were not here!

There are lots of photos!

 

This little book was so much fun and all my classes had a 

great time doing it. 

 

Thanks for stopping by today!

Have a great weekend!

December Daily 2011

Howdy blogging friends.  Sorry I have been MIA for a few days,

I have had family in town visiting over the last week and haven't spent much time 

online or scrapping. So happy to get back into my studio today

and get some scrapping done!!!

Today I have my December Daily from last Christmas

to share with you. It was the first time I did a December Daily

and although I enjoyed it, I don't know that I will do another one again

this year. Since we don't have small kids at home anymore it was hard to 

some up with something to document each day. There were even several 

days that I skipped!  Here is a look,,,,

*****Warning! Lots of photos!!*****

 I used a Melissa Francis kit for this project. Along with the kit I added MME die cuts, some Teresa Collins, Little Yellow Bicycle, DoodleBug, and a few other things from my Christmas bucket.

The kit from Melissa Frances included the covers, 10 6X6 pages, 2 vellum sheets, and 2 manilla envelopes. That was enough for me to do the whole album! And it was only $10!! It came with rings, but I dislike using rings on my albums so I used my Cinch to bind it instead.

The numbers for the pages came from a Teresa Collins sheet and I used my 

EK Success punch to cut them out.

 The fabulous clear overlay on this page is from LYB - I have had them for years!

 These die cuts are also from LYB - I bought an 8X8 pad from them a few years back and I am so glad to be able to finally use it up!

The great tag here was made by a friend.

 Here is where I skipped a few days,, There was just nothing going on between the 14th and the 18th!

 Ok - I saw this great thing on Pinterest - use fishing line to hang ornaments from your curtain rods, chandeliers, etc all over the house. Easy, right? NO - it is not!! This took me an entire day to do!!! 

 The best part of the day - I made my girls go on a scavenger hunt for their presents all over the house. I put the card with the first clue in an envelope under the tree. They thought it was a gift card! AND - I got to use some Daisy D's Christmas die cuts that I bought forever ago.

 I had space in the bad to add some of the cards we received from friends. No, I did not make these fabulous cards, I just have very talented friends!

Are you still with me?? So there you have it - my December Daily for last year. 

I hope you grab a few ideas from it. And check out those Melissa Frances Kits - I know she has a few this season too. They are the bomb, and the perfect size - 6X6.
