Day one down.

Just a hit and run post with some badly lit photos taken on my table tonight. It got dark before I realized, which is about 4:30pm here now, and that makes for a short day. It was balmy & sunny here today, so I can't complain too much.
Here's the first page done with Ali's freebie template from today. I'm not sure what I'm going to put there, so for now it's staying blank. Maybe photos, maybe a poem, or I may change the entire page all together.The inside cover is done with a very pretty and classic Anna Griffin glittery paper that I love.. the look totally reminds me of vintage books that I remember from childhood that were pretty vintage even then... maybe the 50's era?

 Day one is a simple collage of photos of things we did during the day, and my journaling on the left.
I combined computer journaling with my handwriting, and stamped the star border with cranberry American Crafts ink. 'Hello December' is older Ali Edwards Holiday word art from Designer Digitals. One aspect of the album I haven't decided on yet is a number scheme, and that is kind of stressing me out a bit in terms of my design. Must relax... ;p I do think I'd prefer them to be all the same rather than mixed up, but I'll wait a few days and see what works best.

Day 2 is on the table right now, but I'm calling it a day and working on it tomorrow with a fresh perspective.
 I'm feeling much more confidant this time around, and I think that has a ton to do with my book having a structure. I'm very happy that I finally listened to Ali's advice, and took the time to make it before I started, it's a huge time saver.

Hope you're enjoying the DD process so far if you're involved!
