This week's Hip Hop challenge was to create a December Daily Album (or layout). I have to tell you... this was way out of my comfort zone & I was starting to get a little panicky. And then... after reading more about them on Ali Edwards & Shimelle's blogs... the whole concept started making sense. And now, I'm actually REALLY excited about documenting this holiday season. Just to warn you... I've never scrapbooked. Ever. So, this is a first for me. I just think these books will be so cool to look back on in the future. Who knows?!? Maybe this will be the start to a new family tradition.
I made the cover from cardboard & decided to break out all of my Crate Paper goodies. It's a little messier than my normal style... but I think I kind of like the drippy paint and all of the texture.
So... I only have one page made so far (or the START to one page). But... I did have a lot of fun making this already! I stamped one of my favorite images from the November Kit of the Month onto a transparency sheet and added bits of embellishments here and there.
I'm hoping to fill this with lots of memories and pictures. The boys are at such fun ages right now & I want to try make this Christmas really special for them.
Now... make your way to the next blog to see what
Jen Erickson has been up to!
