December Daily® 2020 | Day 1

[@TracieClaiborne]

I’m writing all my comments about Days 1-8 on 12/8 because I watched the videos daily on my TV so after watching them through Day 8 so far, this is my fave! I love the “around here” cut out on each page and the different ribbons and even your photos are so great. I’ve enjoyed all these videos so much! Thanks for making them available to all of us.

Thanks Tracie!

Love how your Day 1 combines photos around a theme. Just cover up the hole with a small embellishment!

[@AngellaAvenue]

Super excited to see your December daily. I look forward to it every year however the anticipation this year feels different given all that’s happened in the world this year. Thank you for sharing Ali.

[@MarisolsCreativeRetreat]

So inspiring. My day 1 is totally going to look pretty much just like yours. LOL. Thanks for sharing.

[@FelicitasMayer]

Just right before you punched the whole I was like nonononoooo 😂 love the photo tags idea, I did something similar but with a written letter to my husband and myself 🤗 looking forward to see your documented stories.

[@AngellaAvenue]

I totally yelled at my phone too. Lol.

[@mary-rosesullivan5319]

Ha ha me too.

[@awilderstories]

lol

Cracked me up with the hole punch. I've never seen that gadget before. Beautiful, festive page!

[@andotherlovelies1570]

Love how you made the curling ribbon work!

[@jillgaxiola4036]

Love your idea of making the pictures look like tags!

[@CodyDoll]

The around here is actually a great way to start the album because it also include thanksgiving or pre December events. Going to have to keep that idea for future use

Yes, I'm super excited you're starting on Day 1. You're one reason i like forward to this season! 🤗

[@PeacockPigment]

Love love love this page and story! All your greenery looks incredible. The multi-sized hole punch is such a genius tool!

[@RamblingsofGeo]

So happy to get this show on the road! - i am up to date so far, but going back over my first 3 days and adding journalling :)

[@deb9156]

Hi Ali! Love all of this. How did you do the typing journaling? Did you use a typewriter? Thanks!!😊

[@Creeative_Pearls]

Story 1 and it's already amazing! I love the large felt numbers so much, so sad I missed out on those. 😭 I know, I know, it's about the stories, not the products. 😁😜💚❤️

[@therichters1301]

I love your sentiment regarding using what you have and not looking at a project through such a tight lens that you can’t possibly do a similar thing. Using a pocket page with patterned paper would be great! I am vowing this year to become that translator of ideas! So glad the 13 year old got a Cricut last year as I will be playing with it quite a lot! Loved day 1!!!

[@AliEdwardsDesignInc]

Awesome! I think it's such a game changer when you can adapt how you are viewing the ideas! Have fun with the Circuit.

[@amandalaplante943]

I really look forward to this series, Ali. My amaryllis is already blooming and I’m like “whoa whoa whoa, there”. ❤️

[@AliEdwardsDesignInc]

They are just the best.

[@tamheartsthis2254]

Your home always looks so cozy and festive. Love this story❤️

[@paper_belle9770]

Great ideas here! TFS!!!

[@roseydaylife]

I love it! Thanks so much for all you share!

[@Seneca_Sister]

Can you share where you bought the thicker red and white ribbon that you use in this video and reference as a consistent material you use in your DD? I am in love with it! Thank you for being so gracious in sharing your creative process with us.

[@AliEdwardsDesignInc]

It's Prima Peppermint Lane trim. I purchased it within the last few years. It seems to be discontinued: amzn.to/2JCq2dx

[@Seneca_Sister]

Thank you! It is really lovely. The thickness, coupled with the photo is perfect.

[@poshplans]

Much excite!

[@simplypearl]

hi ali, so funny that you got your first mistake out of the way! i’ve been fighting with my printers (yes plural) trying to print my pictures for my day 01! so i’m in good company. thanks for sharing!! looking forward to the other videos. xoxox

[@AliEdwardsDesignInc]

Ah, yes. Printers can be so convenient AND such a pain at the same time.

[@simplypearl]

@@AliEdwardsDesignInc exactly! but the good news is that i figured out a way to get day 01 done! xoxo

[@janmari1581]

Hi Ali, what font do you use for the "around here" cut out?

[@AliEdwardsDesignInc]

Hi! That's my handwriting. The cut file/digital word art was a freebie in our Prep Day event this year: www.aliedwards.com/shop/classes/december-daily-prep-day-2020

[@vickiestover8057]

HELP! How do I add the digital words to a photo? I need a simple way. I do not use photoshop. HELP PLEASE! I love the look it it, but just can’t figure out a simple way to do it.

[@legalmemories]

Very nice

[@kimpaine7390]

I have been scrapbooking since 2000 and this is my very 1st December daily. I am so so excited and hopefully I will keep up with the daily stories. You have also inspired me to try the 6 by 8 scrapbook pages in my daily scrapbooking. My question is, what do you use for a hole punch. So far I have bought 3 different hole punches and none of them lineup exactly with the holes for your albums. Can you please advise me on which hole punch you use? Thank you so much for producing beautiful pages and wonderful products!

[@AliEdwardsDesignInc]

Hi Kim! This is the 6-hole punch that I use: amzn.to/3qiIY1j
