Decemeber Daily Wrap Up

Hello everyone

 

After a few technological delays, I am here to share my last few December Daily pages. I decided to only go to Boxing Day this year in my DD album, rather than through to new Year's Eve as we didn't have a lot on in between those days this year. 

This first page has a bit of up cycling as a filler page using a pattern cut from a gift bag & a gift tag.

There should be another page of this protector but my printer has not allowed me to print the reverse side of this protector yet which will be the same template but with Christmas Day pics.

 Love this pic of my daughter falling asleep on my brothers shoulder. He lives interstate so it would have been nice for him to have this special uncle moment. She still looks so tiny here.

This final page is a fave too. Simple and bold. 

December daily complete for another year (probably time I finished last years) and now for my farewell. 

As you may have already noticed, I have decided not to continue on with Polly! In 2014. This was a tough decision as I very much enjoyed my time on this team & have loved all the goodies in my monthly PL kits, not to mention my month as guest scrapbook kit DT too. However I have decided to simplify my Scrapbooking more in 2014 which means my weekly album is going digital. I will still be doing catch up for my 2013 album & keep a physical album for my daughter so there will still be traditional PL (and Scrapbooking) happening, but not as much. 

Thanks Kayla & Ruth for having me on the team. It's been a blast & I can't wait to see what the 2014 team bring!

December Daily Part 3

Hello

Well we are only a couple of days out from Christmas now. Exciting!!!! I am slowly getting organised. Looking forward to time with family. My brother and his family arrive from interstate today so I can't wait to see them all :)

Here are some more of my pages using the Polly December Daily kit.

 

I had to be in this years santa photo as Lily is not a fan of the big man in red. We couldn't get a smile out of her but at least she wasn't crying. But we did do this straight after her 1 year vaccines so it was understandable. She did very well considering.

 

A sequin pocket for something fancy on this page. I cannot use a sewing machine. My highschool home economics class didn't teach me too well haha So this is hand sewn.

 

Some close ups:

 

Thanks for looking and have a merry Christmas. I will be back after Christmas to share some more pages :)

December Daily Part 2

Hello

I hope everyone is close to being ready for Christmas since it is sneaking up fast. I still have shopping left to finish. Eeek! But at least I have kept up to date with my December Daily this year.

Here are my next couple of pages using the fabulous Polly Kit :)

 

This part of my DD and the few pages to follow were more focused on my little miss turning 1 rather than Christmas. Although she did get to meet Santa... and cried.

 

 

 I really love this photo. This was from the day of Lily's birthday party all dresses up in her pretty tutu dress and headband (made by me of course). That flair is such a perfect simple embellishment for this insert.

 

Some close ups.

 

I will be back in a couple of days to share some more pages from my DD album :)

December Daily & Other Projects

Hello

How are you all enjoying your weekend? It's another hot one here but that's to be expected now that summer has actually arrived. And I'm feeling every bit of it at almost 40 weeks pregnant. But I do still love summer.

Very sore and achy today. I think the baby is definitely moving into position but who knows how long til the big arrival. I am keen to get things moving today and had a bit of a laugh at some videos on youtube of women trying to induce labour through dancing. Unfortunately with my pelvic girdle pain/SPD, walking or stair climbing and all those type of things are a wee bit too painful, but lets hope the wait isn't too much longer. For now though, here is a funny video of a 40 week pregnany woman trying to induce labour with some vanilla ice dance moves:

At least I've had plenty of time to do scrapping over the past few days in my attempts to take it easy. My December daily is up to date so far, since I started it a week ago when the tree went up. Here are my completed pages so far:

November 25th and onwards

With the journalling insert flipped over:

 

1st Dec - Journalling in a handmade envelope:

 

And as per my post last week, my first toilet paper roll mini album is almost done. All it needs is photos, journalling and a few embellishments once our baby arrives and its ready to go to its intended recipient as an extra christmas present. Lets hope she doesn't read my blog posts. If so... mum... stop reading now or you'll ruin the surprise.

 

 

I am also making a boy themed one featuring my new nephew but have run out of toilet rolls for now. But I've already cut out all the tags and pp to do it so it'll come together quickly once we get a couple more spare rolls.

Could not be happier with the way the one above has turned out so far though. I will post some better pics once they are both completed but it is looking incredibly sweet and with a collection I love, Authentique Uncommon. So perfect for little girls!

Anyway, I think its time to go do some more scrapping in case things really do happen soon with bubs. I'm hoping all these aches and pains are a sign that we are near. Will keep you all posted.
