Days of December Album Share / New Sketches!

[@pattih3256]

What a special album! I love this and loved hearing about each memory. The ornament story had me grinning! Thanks for sharing.💜

[@ShelleyGoff-c1z]

What a spectacular album! The vellum Journaling pocket is brilliant! Also love the idea of combining past memories with current ones.

[@CraftyConceptswithErin]

Thank you so much. The past and present photos are definitely fun to look at side by side. I will look for opportunities to repeat that in future albums.

[@snipsbykelly]

I don't do mini-albums often, although I have really loved them when have. I love what you have done here both in concept and beauty! It's a wonderful treasure all the way around. Well done as always!

[@CraftyConceptswithErin]

Thank you Kelly, this is actually my first December Daily type album and I really enjoyed it. The pages come together so quickly and it was fun to add random photos that didn't make it onto a 12x12 layout and also the throwback picture of my boys when they were little.

[@ChelseyVorosmarty]

Your whole album is beautiful!! Wow so much inspiration. I want to try your journaling on vellum idea with the acetate pocket. Very cool insert!

[@CraftyConceptswithErin]

Thank you so much! I am happy with how that turned out and it's always nice to put those slimline dies to work in different ways.

[@rhondahunt9888]

I appreciate that since i have never done a December documented, i can take stories from any year and number them to create a small album. Some people do each day of December and my life is not that full. Thanks for the idea on how to adjust for our own situations!

[@CraftyConceptswithErin]

I am so glad this gave you some ideas. I have plenty of days in December where nothing scrapbook worthy occurs so this was a good solution for me.

[@JaymaMalme]

Gorgeous album! The ornament! 😂😂😂 So funny how some traditions are born. I love it all.

[@CraftyConceptswithErin]

Haha, that thing is so ugly and the want it smack dab, front and center at eye level. It has brought much laughter over the years.

[@juliamullie8677]

This is such a beautiful album! I really enjoyed watching you flip through it 🎅🧑‍🎄🎄

[@CraftyConceptswithErin]

Thank you so much, it was really fun to create!

[@judyharloff8473]

What a beautiful album!! Great ideas on what to put in it!!

[@CraftyConceptswithErin]

Thanks so much, I’ll really enjoyed putting this album together.

[@katistamps]

I love all of these beautiful pages!

[@CraftyConceptswithErin]

Thank you Kati, it's so nice to have it all done.

[@JaniceGilhooley]

This is such a special album. I love the concept of memories over multiple years combined into one album. Day 24 is priceless - has to be my favourite in your extra special album.

[@CraftyConceptswithErin]

Thank you Janice, day 24 is definitely my favorite too!

[@tracyheming2603]

Love this December Daily. I’m always on the fence whether to do one or not, but your idea of stories over the years is perfect. Thanks for always sharing and inspiring ☺️

[@CraftyConceptswithErin]

Thank you Tracey, documenting stories is a little more freeing than trying to capture a scrapbook worthy photo each day for me.

[@stampinndahood]

Love the Album of course! LOVE Ironstone wines. As I was traveling to So Cal this past weekend, we passed one of their Vineyards! My favorite shirt was purchased at their Murphys store, which I wore at my birthday dinner..."I am Woman, Hear Me Pour!" LOL. I'm going to watch for their Holiday Program now!!

[@CraftyConceptswithErin]

Haha, that sounds like a great shirt! Murphy's is such a pretty little town to visit, great for wine tasting. The Christmas program isn't put on by Ironstone but a few are held there every year. Churches rent the facilities for their performance.

[@nataliepetersen4502]

Stunning album! I love it so much. I am behind on mine as well....21 and 22 remain unfinished. Ugh. I really want to finish them. THis has inspired me to do so. Thanks.

[@CraftyConceptswithErin]

You are in good company not having them done. I attended a scrapbooking retreat and spent the whole weekend finishing my book. It really simplified the process, I made a kit and was forced to use what I had on hand. Take the pressure off yourself and enjoy the process. Sometimes I tell myself I can't start the new book until I finish the last one and it motivates me.

[@schnauzermommy]

Love this! I can't wait to see the next one.

[@CraftyConceptswithErin]

Thank you, it was a lot of fun to make!

[@kimberlykearns2752]

Love love love!

[@CraftyConceptswithErin]

Thank you Kimberly!

[@eleanorhora8563]

So happy to enjoy your album. Love all the neat elements of each page and the subjects, ornament story, crazy sweater story, but my favorite is the boys when they were young and their age in 2021. Special moments. Can’t wait for your next one🌲🌲🌲

[@CraftyConceptswithErin]

Thank you Eleanor, I really like that story too. It is so fun to look at those photos side by side.

[@simplyscrapbookswithtina8990]

Please do video of making that Christmas Eve journal pocket!! Love it

[@CraftyConceptswithErin]

I am so glad you like how that turned out. I will have to add one into my next book and share the process.

[@lmdean1231]

Love all your layouts and videos. I always look forward to seeing your designs. Would love if The Creative Design Team would come out with a 12x12 format design sketchbook. That’s the only size I use.

[@CraftyConceptswithErin]

Thank you. I can tell you a 12 x 12 sketchbook is in the works 😃

[@marjbiehler7628]

What a great DD album!

[@CraftyConceptswithErin]

Thank you so much!

[@cindyslater7571]

Beautiful album!! And you are very clever, lol

[@CraftyConceptswithErin]

Haha, thank you.

[@Melsstampingallery]

So fun to see how the finished project turned out! I just knew it would be beautiful ❤❤🎄🎅🏻⛪️

[@CraftyConceptswithErin]

Thank you my friend!

[@cherylshoats6091]

Great album!!!❤

[@CraftyConceptswithErin]

Thank you Cheryl!

[@laurapuhalla3559]

It looks great!

[@CraftyConceptswithErin]

Hi Laura, thank you so much!

[@katiehetrick]

Love your album as always, but I especially love the story of the ugly ornament…how cute. Can’t wait to start my Christmas Daily Album

[@CraftyConceptswithErin]

Thank you Katie, that silly ornament has brought so much laughter over the years.

[@liztrumble9238]

What a beautiful album Erin! Thank you for sharing ❤️

[@CraftyConceptswithErin]

Thank you, I hope it was inspiring 😃

[@nathalieparsons3710]

I love this idea! I have always thought about doing something like this, but like how you approached this idea with stories. This year my family is planning a fun hallmark family Christmas, so this will be perfect. My question is, I have two girls and they often wear colors that don't go with Christmas themed paper, how would you approach this? I would love my album to have a coecive look. Thanks for your wonderful videos, they are my favourite. ❤️

[@CraftyConceptswithErin]

Thank you! This is actually my first December daily album and it was a lot of fun. The colors in the photos can make things more challenging. It’s become a joke around our house for family events and they ask what the color palette is for attire. Many of them are scrapbookers so they understand the struggle lol 😂 You would be surprised how you can still make it work if you want to use traditional colors throughout your album. If the photo colors are clashing badly you can always turn those pics black and white.

[@danam588]

Love your ideas and excited for another sketch book! Do you share any of your gluten free recipes?

[@CraftyConceptswithErin]

Thank you, the sketch books have been a lot of fun! I should add a section to my Pinterest board for my favorite GF recipes. When the boys were little, I did a lot more baking and spent time trying new recipes and ideas. Now I'm boring in the kitchen lol

[@sylviakelly8822]

Oh my goodness - awesome as always, Erin ❤ What a special album! For some reason I don't see the "December" cut file link. Can you guide me to that?

[@CraftyConceptswithErin]

Thank you! If you follow this link then scroll to the bottom you will see the free cut files www.cdtcreatives.com/

[@sylviakelly8822]

@@CraftyConceptswithErin Thank you, Erin! 😊

[@ritahoagland7247]

Love this album Erin. I thought I heard you say some time ago your team was about to publish a 12 x 12 pattern book. Is this still in the making?

[@CraftyConceptswithErin]

Hello Rita, yes it is in the works. I’m not sure of the release date yet but we are excited about the 12x12 especially.

[@valeriekay85]

Love this album, Erin!! Is the cookie sheet die a current item?

[@CraftyConceptswithErin]

Thank you Valerie, isn't the cookie sheet the cutest? The stamp and coordinating die set has sold out but there is a digital collection with the same cooling rack. They are SVG's and will work with a Cricut or silhouette machine. You can see the set here erinjacobson.closetomyheart.com/retail/Product.aspx?ItemID=17342
