The Season | Nov 24 to Dec 3

I have not fallen off the face of the earth!  And I've even managed to mostly keep up with my Journal Your Christmas.  But working on my journal, taking and editing photos and doing a blog entry...HA!   I am in awe of all of you who manage to do so with regularity.  

So playing a little catch up:

November 24th looks like this, kept things simple.  Used my Instax camera (LOVE) for a quick snap at Grandma's house.


November 25th, Polar Express.  Again used the Instax camera. Tucked our tickets into the page protector of the following page.  I will add a few favorite photos from the polar express once they are printed. 


For the 30th of November I included my 30 days of Gratitude written out and tucked in an envelope.  



December 1 - I used a printable from Shimelle's Journal Your Christmas class, just a reminder of what this season means to me. 

Because my album is very journal intensive I love the idea (borrowed from Ali Edwards) of using Hambly transparencies for a bit of visual interest. 

Day 2 we journaled the weather. 

Day 3 - Christmas Cards.  One of my favorite layouts so far.  

The page flips open to reveal journaling about our cards (how many we send out, cost of stamp, etc) along with a photo collage of what I go through to get a photo of my kids. 

For giggles, I'm including a larger size of the collage.  I'm fairly certain one or all of us will end up in therapy some day over our annual Christmas Card photo sessions. :)

But in the end miracles do happen. 

Thanks for looking!  I'll be back soon with another round of completed pages.
