My 2011 December Daily Foundation pages

I was so thrilled to complete my 2010 December Daily that I turned the design into foundation pages (digital templates) for 2011. I've not yet chosen the kit I'll use along with the pages, but I have a couple of weeks to get that sorted out! I'm also thinking I won't pre-number the pages, but rather select the page with the best number of photos for each day.

2010 December Daily

In February 2011, I ordered my finished 2010 December Daily book.
I used a limited range of supplies and a template/base page design, and if I came up with a page I loved, I just rotated or altered it and reused it. I didn’t do a page for every day and I did more than one page for some days. I’m was thrilled with the result!

What I learnt in 2009 and 2010

In 2009 year I faithfully recorded all the details of our December on the sheets that Jessica Sprague provided in her Holidays in Hand class. This is as far as I got with the scrapping though!

I did have grand plans to put together my 2009 book at the same time as my 2010 book, as I’ve got the photos and journalling done. But that didn’t happen. Not to worry! I’ve got the paper version from my Holidays in Hand class so it can wait. Or just be in paper form for good.

Foundation pages for you

I was so inspired by the whole process that I put together a template album pack so that I can share the page designs with you! I've even coloured the layers in the templates for inspiration!

Here are a couple of layouts I have done from your template pack. They are great and I love how simple they are to use and customize! …these two pages are part of a retirement gift for a friend… These photos are from an Alaska trip he and his wife took so he is filling in the journaling. Your templates are perfect because they are so photo-centric. They allow his photos to take center stage and yet they also allow room for telling stories and adding embellishing bits too.

Like my book? Here's my inspiration

If you like how I put together my book – I was inspired by Katie’s post at the Daily Digi – How to Narrow it Down with Thin Slicing and Noell’s article – How to Get More Impact with Less Effort.
For the actual conversion of 12x12 layouts to 8x8 Shutterfly book and to create the cover I used Wendyzine’s Shutterfly Toolkit: 8x8 version. To split my two page spreads I used her Double Page cutter.
