Creek Bank Creations Own December Daily Book

We've been talking about Ali Edwards and the December Daily project she does each year. She says "December Daily is an opportunity to record the moments and events during the holiday season. " This about about taking a photo once a day and capturing the season as you go along. The objective is to record your life for the month. If you complete the book ahead of time you'll be ready to go, and then your objective will be to take a photo a day and record the highlights in writing each day. You might have some days where you don't get a photo taken, so perhaps you'll write on that day a special family memory or recipe. This is to me what scrapbooking is really about...DOCUMENTING your life in a special book just for Christmas.

Our December Daily book is made from 6"x12" chipboard pages, and contains 25 paper pages, stickers and embellishments. This kit made by Keely Dines will come with full instructions and complete photos. The kit sells for $22.00 and can be purchased online here.

We are offering a December Daily class THIS THRUSDAY November 19th at 6pm. This class will give you time to get the greatest part of the album COMPLETE and ready to go. Purchase the kit, then join us this Thrusday putting the album together. Purchase the class here

(please check the supply list that you will need to bring to class)

If you have a friend who has been wanting to get into scrapbooking, or perhaps you just want to learn more this will be a great class for you. I'm excited about this project and I'm planning on completing a book for my family!

We also have a few spots left on Saturday for our Cricut Class Life is Beach. You can read about the Life Is A Beach Class here .

Keep Scrapbooking!

Ali Edwards is getting set to reveal her December Daily Album for 2009 this Monday on her blog. If you aren't familiar with Ali or more specifically this project that she does every year, here's an brief description from her blog:

December Daily is an album that documents the month of December leading up to Christmas day (and sometimes beyond - that's completely up to you). It is a chance to reflect, to share, to celebrate the season in a manageable, in-the-moment way. The entire key to this album is to put it together BEFORE December. In December I will share my finished pages each day.

The Basics: gather up a bunch of holiday supplies, create an album with 25 pages (one for each day), and then when December rolls around you will have a foundation upon which to document you and your family's story. The idea is to take the time now to set it all up so that on December 1 you are ready to experience + to capture the memories for the day and add them into your album as you go.

I made an album last year and loved this project. Actually I made 4 albums and gave away 3 of them as gifts! I'm really excited to see her album. This year she's changing the foundation of her book. She usually uses pattern paper, cardstock or transparencies as pages and chipboard covers. This time she's using the Donna Downey Prima Canvas Album as the base and mixing in a variety of interior pages. I personally love this canvas album so I can't wait to see her design. I'm also a big fan of different sized pages mixed in with pockets, page protectors, envelopes and transparencies. I love the eclectic feel of it all.

Check out her post on Monday and see what she comes up with. If you decide to make one yourself, come back to Creek Bank and pick up the Prima Canvas Album. We have several in stock but I would imagine that the album will be in demand and will be hard to find so get it while you can here!!!
