December Daily | 2021 Complete Album Walkthrough

[@dibrunx9316]

Great to see you back. I really enjoyed your December Daily videos in the past, and have wondered many times if you were ok as I know you have had some health issues in the past. I hope all is ok for you now. Your latest DD was excellent. Hope to see more of your work.

Hi di! Thank you so much for your kind comment and for wondering about me! I'm doing well, I just needed some time to figure out how I want to show up in these online spaces. I hope to be sharing much more regularly this year. Thank you so much for your support and for watching! Take care.

Thanks so much Marianne! You're so kind. Yes, big points to Shawn for happily obliging his wife's crafty demands! LOL! I'm so grateful he doesn't mind doing those things. Happy 2022 to you and yours also! Thanks for watching.

What a wonderful album, Steph! It really put me back in the spirit of Christmas. I love the full page photos, and how you included so many family and friends in your pages.

[@createdbysteph]

Thanks so much for watching Susan! It felt so good to include people in my album again this year after mostly focusing on just the three of us last year. I'm really pleased with this album and it was so fun to work on. Thanks again!

[@margraine]

I really enjoyed looking at your December Daily, and I got a few ideas for my next one. Thanks for sharing!

[@PrettyLittlePocket]

I love your DD album. Lots of creative ideas here!🥰

[@createdbysteph]

Thank you so much! I appreciate you watching.

[@jeannewilliams4285]

Such a special album, Steph! I love how you included November to January and so many special stories. That crafting day. What a dream come true!

[@createdbysteph]

Thanks so much Jeanne! Yes, it's so fun to see the whole season and all the different highs and lows of that all together. And, yes, our crafting day/week was amazing! Thanks for watching.

[@jeannereich8690]

Loved this! Got a lot of good ideas. Will be making my first December Daily this year. We live in Oregon so fun to hear you talk about visiting the coast. So sorry for the canceled plans. 😞

[@roseydaylife]

Such a great album Steph!!!

[@createdbysteph]

Thanks so much for that Lorilei! And for stopping by and watching!

[@stephanievandersmissen3066]

Your album is so wonderful , loved each pages and there’s so many memories in it ! I had a really hard time with mine this year and after a while let go of it since it’s stressed me . I wasn’t feeling so well mentally with everything going on. Anyway I did my December PL page ( witch I never do since I have a DD normally) so it’s recorded and I’m fine with it. Maybe I will get to it later.

[@createdbysteph]

I'm all for letting things go if you're frustrated with them. This hobby is supposed to be fun, if it's not fun, what's the point? I'm sure you'll come back to it later when / if the time feels right.

[@jennyfuller6746]

This is so great! What a lovely album. Can I please ask where you purchased the cut file you used at the end of the album

[@createdbysteph]

Hi Jenny, thanks for watching! Is that the Adventendo cut file? I don't have a source for that, a friend made it for us and mailed it to us. I'm sorry I don't have more info than that. If that's not the one you're referring to, please let me know more specifically (maybe drop the time marker) and I can hopefully give more info.

[@AuntREcReates]

Such an amazing album!!! You mentioned Day 18 was a template that Lisa created in the shop? I think that's what I heard. Can you tell me where I can find it? Love that layout!

[@createdbysteph]

Yes! Here is the link to the 10x8 layered templates Lisa created last year: aliedwards.com/shop/december-daily-2021-digital-10x8-layered-templates Thanks for watching!

[@AuntREcReates]

@@createdbysteph Thank you! So I'm still watching LOL The page after the 26th, the die cut with all the windows with Santa pics....that is OMG amazing!!! Where is that cut file from? Sorry for all the questions but I am so inspired by your album. I still have to finish mine from last year!

[@createdbysteph]

@@AuntREcReates Hahaha! I'm so glad you enjoyed the album and video. That cut file was made for me by a friend when we were working on foundation pages and prep party together last year. I believe it's from the Silhouette store, but I'm not certain. I'm sure a search for "window page cut file" or "advent flip up cut file" or something to that effect would yield similar results. Sorry I don't have more specifics!

[@natashahernandez2272]

Can you provide some instructions on how your changed the title on the templates 10 x8 that were offered this year? I can’t figure out how to change the text titles in photoshop?

[@createdbysteph]

HI Natasha, thanks for watching! For any changes I made to titles, I follow a tutorial by Jenny Rey in the Hybrid All Year Round class she taught on Ali Edwards' site last year. ONe of the lessons is about changing the color of digital elements and that's the one I follow. Pam Baldwin also has one in the Hybrid class on Ali's site as well for changing digital elements that uses a slightly different approach. If you don't have either of those classes I highly recommend them, as they both taught me so much. But you can also search for tips for using the Magic Wand tool in PS on KZbin to find some videos that should be helpful.
