December Daily - Day 5 and 6

So, I fell a day behind, but luckily I have had a pretty quiet day today, so I managed to catch up, phew!! I can imagine that this won't be the only time that happens for the rest of the month!

Day 5 was a quiet one, so I decided to include a photo of the lights on our house and talked briefly about how putting them up is one of my favourte traditions. I also included a picture of the horrible weather as I was driving home from the shops with the words Hello Summer? Underneath I journalled about how we are still waiting for the arrival of summer down here. There was even snow on the apline ranges a few days ago!! In the bottom pocket is my journalling and a printable element from the 25 Days class at Studio Calico, printed on one 4x6 piece.

I love the grey snowflake paper, so I decided to keep the page very mininal. I had always planned on doing a full page photo for our lights and I LOVE when I see other people do this, however when I tried it, it just didn't look how I wanted it to, maybe because it was too different to the rest of the album?  So anyway, I just went with a smaller photo instead!




My Day 6 page is all about my niece's Kinder Christmas concert. I had a bit of trouble with this page, I think because I wanted to inlcude more photos than I usually do. On the right I included my journalling, the program of the songs they sang and a filler card. 


I hope everyone else is still finding the time to create!!

    I think the lights with the smaller photo turned out great! Love the look of your pages in the album that you are using!

    Your pages are coming out really cute! It seems so odd to me to want summer at Christmastime, where in the world do you live? Here in NYC, I am wondering where winter is... it should be snowy but this past week it has been much too warm out!! I love the little confetti pocket you made, I've been meaning to make one of those for my book as well. And I'm getting behind! I haven't finished day 6 yet, oops...

      Thanks Linda! I live in Australia and although I would prefer to have a winter Christmas, if we are going to have it in summer we might as well get the nice warm weather that is supposed to go along with it!! It is exepcted to finally warm up this weekend! I am so jealous that you live in NYC! I LOVE New York, especially at Christmas time!!
