Last year was the first year of undertaking a December Daily album - based on the concept developed by Ali Edwards - you can find out more here.

I used a red 6x8 Simple Stories faux leather album - perfect size for 25 days of Christmas.

Looking back through the album is wonderful - events and photos I may have forgotten about if they weren't recorded.

I use a few of Ali's digital elements and printed them out, used overlays and transparencies (my favourites at the moment), washi tape, confetti pockets and some Christmas themed embellishments.

Here are a few of my favourite pages from DD 2013

That's it for December Documented 2013.

Can't wait to start my 2014 album.

Another new project by Ali Edwards is Craft the Story - information here.

This is a monthly class including one of Ali's awesome 4x6 stamps, class worksheets and access to a classroom to share ideas. Each month will be based on different themes.

This month the theme is 'Prompts' and I just received my stamp in the mail (a down side of living in Australia is waiting extra long for subscriptions from the US).

I can't wait to have a read of the handouts and use this stamp.
