december daily album share: days 1-9 | hip kit club

December 21, 2016

Hello everyone! I’m here with my out-of-the-box December Daily using my November Hip Kits. I may have mentioned this is one of my previous videos on my YouTube channel, but I don’t celebrate any holidays, so December for me is just December. Yet, I wanted to give a December Daily a go, but do it more like a month in a life sort of mini album. I love that the November Kits are nontraditional in color because it gives a hand towards this type of December album. I used all of my November Kits for this one and a few things from my stash that’s mostly extras I got from the Crate Paper Snow & Cocoa line that weren’t included in the kits.

This is a peek into my album with days 1 – 9. Not only am I not doing a holiday themed album, but I decided to work with a smaller album–a mini binder I got from the Target Dollar Spot–which had me reconsider my pocket pages as the 6×8 inserts did not fit in this album. So I scaled everything down and am using smaller pocket pages and different configurations than the traditional 6×8 DD album set up. Because I’m using different sized pocket page inserts, I’m also mixing in different sized papers and tags and just fun little bits to give the entire album some neat texture.

I left my cover super simple. I layered a bunch of snowflake die cuts from the Snow & Cocoa ephemera pack and put the “December Story” flair from the kits in the center. I used the Exclusive pink alphas to write out 2016, and then I made some cute charms to dangle on the top left side of the album. My first page–my dashboard of sorts–is also really simple. I used that pretty tree paper from Crate Paper as my base, the layered a piece of gold foil vellum on top that was from my stash. I embellished the page with a few of those HKC word phrase strips and stickers and bits from the Snow & Cocoa ephemera pack. I used a gold bow clip to hold the vellum to the paper.

The next two pages are just a simple calendar of December and the introduction I wrote for my album. I don’t know about you, but I like including some sort of introduction in my mini albums, journals and mini books. So for this one, I journaled my intentions for this album. Basically what I’m hoping to do and document in this album. I mentioned how I’m doing a spin on the traditional DD and how I would hope it would come out. I used a mixture of things on these two pages. I used bits from the kits mixed with things from my stash, but I kept them both really simple. I typed up my journaling to match the HKC word strips from the exclusive ephemera pack. I used Courier New font and typed everything out in caps and printed it in black ink on white cardstock. All of my journaling in this album will be typed like this because I like the nice white, clean, simple look it gives the album and I want to keep everything cohesive.

I then get into my days. My first few days, I used pocket pages. This is what I meant when I scaled down my inserts. I’m using various small-scale inserts. For day 1 and 2, I used Simple Stories 4×6 inserts with two horizontal 3×4 slots, so that I could utilize all of the pretty HKC DD cards in my album without punching holes in them. For day 3, I trimmed down a 6×8 insert with four vertical 3×4 slots, so that I could used the vertical cards. I actually really like how this album is beginning to look with all the different sizes and mixture of pocket pages and cardstock pages. I’m terrible at taking photos of my everyday, especially when I don’t have much going on, so a lot of this album so far is me journaling my stories everyday. I think having all of the different pieces and sizes really help keep the album interesting in the absence of photos.

Day 4 and 5 were journal heavy. On day 5, I had to go to Jury Duty, so I included a pink polkadot glassine bag from my stash so that I can hold my jury summons in it. I wanted it to be hidden, so adding the bag between the two days not only adds more texture and interactiveness, but it acts as a day divider and a place to put things in that I don’t want to be seen but still want to be in the album. I embellished the bag with a doily and pieces from the Snow & Cocoa line that I had in my stash. The opposite page, I have my journalling for day 5. I kept the page really simple because the topic was so heavy. I used pieces from my stash to create a little snowflake effect down the page that I absolutely love.

For my last few days, day 7 – 8, I used a pocket page that has two 3×3 slots. I didn’t have photos for these days, so I made cards from the pattern paper and added my journaling and embellishments to it to make it interesting.

Definitely watch the flip through video below to see all of my pages from days 1 – 9.

More from my Snippet Journal. This is Day Six of @ More from my Snippet Journal. This is Day Six of @lizelayne's Here class.

I really like these prompts about things you collect or what's around you currently. Liz's prompt wasn't exactly about listing the things I gather, but I twisted it that way because it made more sense to list out all of the things that I'm currently collecting and gathering for myself, instead of things that are visibly around me. Because these are the things that truly have my attention at the moment.

Happy Monday loves. xx
More from my Snippet Journal. This is Day Five of More from my Snippet Journal. This is Day Five of @lizelayne's Here class.

I had to blur this bit out because being present with how I'm feeling unearthed some hard things through my journaling. It's a bit personal and I don't feel like sharing that right now. But it had me thinking of all the things we carry and at the end of the day how I need to have faith that everything will be alright in the end.

Happy Friday loves. I hope you're all well. xx
More from my Snippet Journal. This is Day Four of More from my Snippet Journal. This is Day Four of @lizelayne's Here class.

I love currently lists. I write one up every month on my blog called "Things I'm Loving" and it details all the things I enjoyed each month. These are just lovely little snapshots of your life RIGHT NOW and they are some of my favorite lists to look back on.

I kept this spread really simple and printed out my list on some vellum. I think that pink and white striped paper frames my list so well. xx
More from my Snippet Journal. This is Day Three of More from my Snippet Journal. This is Day Three of @lizelayne's Here class.

I made this cut file from gold glitter paper because I felt like this page needed a statement—just a reminder that I'm still here and that's beautiful. And ultimately something to be so grateful for. I like that it's so big and bold. I then wrote my gratitude list on that @daphanesdiary card that I tucked into that pocket. xx
Day Two in my journal for @lizelayne's class. I us Day Two in my journal for @lizelayne's class. I usually give my journals a name but haven't quite figured one out for this one. I guess for now I'll just call it my Snippet Journal.

Anyway, lots of emotions spilling over onto this page. There's no better way to express them than scribbling them onto a page and then covering it up! Hard feelings don't always have to be seen. xx
This month, I'm taking @lizelayne's Here: Pay Atte This month, I'm taking @lizelayne's Here: Pay Attention & Be Astonished class. I just wanted to share my first entry in my journal. I'm finally using this lovely journal I made in my The Snippet Journal class and it's been good. I'm definitely a few days behind, but I'm taking my time with this course. I'm going through a lot emotionally, so taking it slow and giving myself grace while working on paying attention to the now has been good so far. I always enjoy Liz's soft, sweet presence, and it's been lovely listening to the lessons over when I need to.

I hope you all are well. xx
