Holiday journal '09

Remember the December daily album that Ali Edwards does during the holiday season? I loved her idea but took a slightly different approach. Instead of making a page each day in December, I simply kept a journal (on the computer) about what we did each day. Some days had pictures to go with them, and others didn't! So I've been thinking about how I wanted to make the album, when recently on the Pink Paislee blog, one of the designers posted a bunch of sketches for a mini-book. And that is what mine is loosely based on. I used mostly BoBunny papers, lots of various embellishments, distress stickles, and tons of Elle's studio's tags and journaling cards. Enjoy!
