2013 December Daily Featuring "Sparkle & Shine"

The best part about my job as a CTMH Consultant is getting to create lots of different things using our product.  One thing I love to do, is keep all of my family's December activities journaled.  I love looking back at my holiday scrapbooks and remembering all the "little things" we did as a family.  That's where the "December Daily" comes in handy!  Each day has a page or two dedicated to journaling things we did to prepare for the holiday or celebrate. 

What kind of things do I add in my December Daily?  Hmmmm let's see.....things like movies we watched that were holiday related (The Elf and Christmas Vacation edited for the younger ones are two faves), stories or books we read, recipes we have tries, crafts we did, choosing our Christmas tree, the kids' wish lists, etc....so I wanted to take the time to create one in advance that way it was all ready for filling. Things get crazy busy here starting in couple of weeks and I didn't want to be a deer in the headlights without my projects completed. 

I took one of CTMH's My Creations Kraft Three Ring Album pictured here
 

Then I added some of our new Sparkle and Shine Paper from the Holiday Gift Guide (available for purchase 10/15), burlap ribbon, cuts from my Artbooking and Art Philosophy Cricut cartridge, the stamp set featured in the Sparkle and Shine WOTG, Ruby Chevron grosgrain ribbon, and a few extras from the Sparkle and Shine Assortment.  This is the finished product 

My favorite part was wrapping the spine of the book with our burlap ribbon....it helped add a natural touch to the project.

CTMH's embellishments always help "sparkle" up any project and they are all super easy to use!

Happy crafting!
