My December Daily for 2011 [photo heavy post]

 I was actually hopping to build a mini album, but don't think I'm going to do that next year. I'm definitely going to use a bigger album next year, at least 8x8".
It turns out that it became bulkier each day and I was trying hard to squeeze things in this album. So happy that I've mini diary in my phone that I can write down the happenings of the day together with the photos. Another great thing is, I can edit my photos in the phone, have them in collage and only then sent them to process. That is one great way that I can put several photos in one page of this mini album.
I've actually run out of 6x6" chipboard from the initial album size. So I've added up with large coaster and another tag mini album.
Here are the inside, with a few photos missing. Too lazy to shoot them again.

Am I going to do December Daily again next year?
Definitely YES!!

Now.. everyone is talking about new year resolution, the one little word, or the most like in 2011, or the achievement of 2011. I'm not going to go through all that now. But I think my one little word for next year is "BE". Let's just be.

Enjoy your last day of 2011.

I brought my angel home today

Using Creative Scrappers sketch #188.
I bought some angels on the 17th December, and have them placed on my entrance tables. So love the spirit or feel that they've created in my home and my heart.
Going to definitely believe more on angels and ask for their help in the coming year.
I so love the December kit from My Creative Scrapbook. That's is what I've used for this layout.

I've finally took some photos of my December Daily, though it is not 100% done yet. Going to share about that in my next post.
Happy Saturday! The last Saturday of 2011.

A few photos collage

Happy Boxing day! I've missed posting during Christmas. But I've been updating friends and family by twitter and Facebook. Here are some photos that I've shared in the social network:

Christmas greetings.

Our Christmas eve dinner in my sister's place where we've cooked up some roasted chicken wings and potatoes.

Lighting up of candles in the church during the Christmas eve service.

One activity that the boys have been waiting for - opening of gifts. Here.. all those pictures showed that Calvin is so love the Chinese comic book that I got for them, till he started reading right away.

So, how was your Christmas? All those cleaning has been done? Today is boxing day.. I wonder what am I going to box away. Definitely those old newspapers, really need to get rid of them from the house.

Enjoy your holidays!

December daily

It is already half way through December and I've just started to put together my December Daily.
I may need more chipboard pages for my album.
I also wanted to make those pages look like they have got a theme.
Doily is one thing that I'm sure to be using.
I wanted to try using glitter too.
I've recently bought a bottle of Mod Podge and now I'm using it like crazy. I almost use it on all my pages which I've put doily in!
I wanted to try glitter too.
Will take some photos when I've the right light for it.

Scrap-it-lah December Challenge

This will be the last challenge over at Scrap-it-lah. Sadly Chow-Chow (who started the blog with Jessy) would have to give this up for her other commitment in life. So, I guess this will also be my last layout for SIL.

This month, the challenge is: to include Multi-photo layout using Christmas photos (at least 3) or, if you don’t celebrate Christmas, photos from a similar celebration (no birthdays please!).   Glitter or glimmer mist somewhere on your layout.   Traditional Christmas colours of red/green/gold (compulsory), plus only ONE other colour OF YOUR CHOICE. (Both plain and printed papers are fine as long as you stick to the colours).

I've used glimmer mist on my doily and flower then also using glimmer pen to draw on the larger flower. Initial color of the flower is white.

My title is from glitter thicker. I've also stamp on my doily after misting them.

Here is another look on those cluster of flowers from Prima.

This year, we had our Christmas tree up early even before November ended.. This is all due to my son - Calvin who was so eager to put up the Christmas tree. So I've helped him to set up the tree and he hangs all t hose decoration all by himself! What a great kid. He is waiting for the time to open his presents and really a good test on his patient.

Have fun on this December and try out the challenge and create something memorable for yourself. Do check out what the rest of the DTs have done on this challenge.
