Hi Everyone – Today I am sharing my “December Daily” album, created using a combination of the Echo Park Season’s Greetings paper and digital collections. First of all I should tell you I had to google to find out what a December Daily was – and then when I saw some of the amazing examples online – I was totally intimidated at the thought of creating one!
What I decided to do was take a little album I had started working on (seen here) and expand it into a Daily Journal.
December this year is going to be exceptionally busy so I have decided to just have a little space where I can write each day and easily just slot a photograph in when I take one of something special.
To expand my existing book, I created some numbers from the Season’s Greetings Alphas and Borders and added them to each page. To create additional pages I printed some journaling tags from the Season’s Greetings Element Pack.
I decided to create a few fold out pages within the book to allow for a series of photos to be added. This page with the Santa is for Christmas Eve where I hope to get some great photos of the kids leaving snacks for Santa!
At the beginning of the book I have added in a few of my favorite photos from the last couple of years to get me started and to show how the pages fold out.
I hope this shows that a December Daily album can be really simply put together. I see mine as a personal and intimate record of the month – just for me to look at and remember in the future.
Here are a few more pages ready and waiting to go!
I hope this inspires you to create an album for yourself. You can always just make a simple little book and write it it each day.
Check my post here for a tutorial on how to quickly make the journals below using scraps of scrapbook paper and regular copier paper like these shown below using Holly Jolly Christmas.

Lowri, I love the Season's Greetings mini!! Absolutely amazing!!
I love it Lowri! You did such a beautiful job! The colours and brightness are so fun! I am doing a 'December Daily' album for the third year this year! Angie xo
So fun, Lowri! I just finished the base pages for my album…can't wait to fill it up 🙂
Looks fantastic!!! LOVE the pattern mix! So many details too! I want to see more close ups. My DD is at a stand still- not sure where I want to go with it- design wise- the photos will be easier so maybe it should just focus on them. 😉
this is awesome Lowri, great job and a totally brilliant idea. xox
