We are celebrating Christmas in July - time for us down under to rug up and pull out our Christmas stash and get scrapping before all the new collections are introduced this month at the Craft and Hobby Association Summer Show.
As a digi scrapper, I never truly 'use up' my supplies, but I like to be sure I use my Christmas kits at least a few times before I splash out on a new themed kit.
Since 2009, I've joined in with Ali Edward's December Daily project and I've printed books from 2010 and 2011, and my 2012 book was a paper mini album.
But, I have to admit, I worked on my 2011 pages for a loooong time. I did about 5 in December 2011, another few in February 2012, then finally finished them all in February 2013! Eeek!
I recently received my printed photobook of my 2011 December Daily. Yes, it was a long time in the making but... here it is!
See how I did it
I created the layouts using my super-simple template set. If the process of digital scrapbooking has you mystified, I'd love to show you how I created one of the layouts in this book using just a template, photo, kit and the move tool, in 4 minutes.

Loved your video – thanks for sharing your album. The colours of your Shutterfly album look so nice and vibrant – I’m impressed, and might just have to make the jump and do a digi book at some point 🙂
I love seeing the digital side of this challenge. Beautiful work!
I love how fun the digital papers are and I agree, it’s so vibrant. I too am thinking I might do a digi album. Thanks for sharing!
Beautiful photobook, Melissa! Thanks for sharing and thanks for all the tips!
thanks for sharing your photobook Melissa. I’m so glad you used a video to share your pages, every page is gorgeous. I’ve been toying with the idea of making a photobook, so after seeing yours, i have been inspired to give it a go.
Beautiful book, thanks for sharing.
Great layouts and I love your podcast!
