Today we are looking at my Christmas 2019 album, and I'm super excited to share it with you. This one's really special to me because I went totally DIY. No templates, no Project Life stuff—just me, a blank canvas in Photoshop, and a whole lot of creativity.
I have loved documenting our Decembers with different Christmas challenges since 2009 and have many completed albums, printed with various different photo printers over the years. 2019's model was printed with Forever, and I love how the 8x8 size matches perfectly with my Snapfish and Shutterfly 8x8 Albums. For those of us who like things neat and orderly, that's a win!
Let me give you a little peek at what’s inside:
- Numbers from Traci Reed 2014 Pocket Life kit (no longer available)
- Kept it simple with a typewriter font
- Documented daily with a photo and some words
- Very occasional use of embellishments
December Daily 2019 Flip Through
One of the funnier stories in the album is about a midnight movie screening. We all went to see Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker, and it turned into a bit of a comedy of errors. Two of us ended up in gold class, two friends went to a different cinema, and another was stuck at the back all by himself.
I also captured some sweet family moments. We made gingerbread, went to the Hillsong Christmas Spectacular, and even managed to make it to the Heathridge Carols—something we missed a lot because we managed to get sick around Christmas time.
Our family traditions are in there too. We always watch Ocean's 11 on New Year's Eve, and this year was no different. And of course, I had to document my children leaving supper out for Father Christmas.
If I could change anything, I might tweak a few overblown photos. Could be my iPhone's fault. But honestly, I love how it turned out. Simple but meaningful.
If you need a little help documenting Christmas, check out my Simple Family Yearbook Class. It's perfect if you want to create a photo book without the hassle. We use auto curation to pick your best photos and get it professionally designed. You just make a few tweaks, order it, and voila! A beautiful photo book in no time.
Have you done anything with your Christmas 2019 photos? I'd love to see them! It's always fun to look back and relive those memories. If you're feeling inspired, why not start your own album?
Happy December Scrapbooking!!
