December Daily, day 4

I’ll start by saying that I love this layout! It is my go-to and easiest by far when I am not feeling too creative. These pocket pages just make it easy. The formula for this page is a 4×6 photo in the big pocket, journaling in one of the small ones and coordinating DSP in the other small one. I made a tag to attach the 4 to and voila, all done!

I used to really care about the decorations and making the page pretty. I used to spend hours on pages and then leave no room for journaling. As I look back on those pages, I wish that I had journaled more because I don’t remember the story. The purpose of this page is telling the story of our stockings. Our mantel has looked this way for many years and I’m realizing that it won’t always. As the boys get older, we’ll add stockings but the more imminent thought is a sad one and I wanted to make sure that I remembered when there was an F stocking hanging there. Fiona, our sweet cat, is 14 this year and getting ready to turn 15. She loves Christmas morning when we open up her stocking and she gets little mice full of catnip.

You have lots of Christmas stories to tell and I would love to have you join me for my first scrapbooking class in the new year. We’ll be creating some Christmas pages. If you have never scrapbooked before, this is the perfect time to get started. Holiday photos make it easy especially with the formulas that I will teach you. Mark your calendars for January 31st and come scrapbook with me. I’ll be sending out details through email, make sure you are on my email list.
