That one photo of Betty down in the corner close to the camera is absolutely precious! 🥰

[@jonigoodmanson2179]

Loved all of your videos! Thank you so very much for all that you do for our community!

[@kelly-janes]

I watched each + every one of these videos and loved every second! I need to document this in my December memories, because your DD video series is something I look forward to each year. Thank you, Ali, for all you do for our paper crafting community!

Re the lights.... have both!!! I have two sets of white and one set of coloured. The coloured and one set of white stay steady... and the other set of white twinkle.... best of all our preferences ❤😊

Great way to end your album! ❤️

[@jessicascraps4010]

Loved this so much - I also have loved those circles I have used them on a few pages

[@ilonamollema6467]

Day 25 is definitely one of my favourite pages!❤ I love the 1,2,3 tabs on the photos, it makes it more interactive. And the stars on the strings are so beautiful! Thank you so much for sharing the creative process of making this album. I know it's a lot of work, but it's highly appreciated!!❤

What a fabulous way to end the colorful, festive and fun Christmas Season. Loved it!

[@JessaCrownedByJesus]

Love love love how this day came out! Epic Christmas Day storytelling! 🖤🎄

[@abigaelmacritchie1365]

The stars you added on your picture make me want to hang big paper stars from the ceiling of my actual living room next year 😂

Love the journey of December Daily. I work on mine through the 31st and usually end with beautiful sparkly New Years Eve paper. I love this project and enjoyed working in the 10 x 8 album for the first time this year. Thank you!!

[@christinabuckley1943]

Ali, you knocked this year’s album out of the park! I just love it all 😍

[@lynnbeard2450]

This December Daily seemed to just fly by this year! Perhaps it helps that your 'kids' are getting older and there are so many more diverse stories to tell. It seemed so calm this year. (maybe not on your end!) Thanks again for sharing. Always love coming along with you and getting so much inspiration! Hugs from Texas.

[@peggycollins2983]

So beautiful. Looks like a great day!

[@heather9599]

first-as always-LOVED getting to see how you do this project...so much inspiration. second-I have a suggestion-where you added washi tape around the 25 vellum piece-I use the edge of a stamp block and line it up and tear the washi for an exact cut line...hopefully that makes sense. It's just easier than trying to cut at the correct place :)

Great tip! Thank you!

[@amberdawson816]

I really love this set of layouts! I always have so many photos on Christmas Day and I love how you tackled adding so many! Thanks for all of the ideas and inspiration this month!

[@susanb1388]

Beautiful! You are very creative and I like watching you create. I wish I could be as dedicated to get the memory book made!

[@ellaconner9452]

Great pages!! Very cool 🧑🏻‍🎄🎄🎅🏻. TFS

[@homemadeontheridge]

Perfect ending to one of my fav projects! ❤

[@KirstieMacGowan]

Thank you for this years December daily videos! I have really enjoyed this and have found so much inspiration from them! ❤

[@suehensler325]

Loved your album! Thanks for all the inspiration.

[@mickimoon5008]

I really enjoyed this!

[@amberdawson816]

Regarding page attachers - a good tip for people to make their own is to cut down the Grafix plastic acetate to 3/4" wide, use red line tape and punch the holes. It's sturdy enough to work on it's own until you get more back in stock.

[@AliEdwardsDesignInc]

Great tip! Thanks Amber!

[@natashahernandez2272]

Thank you for showing how to make this without the silhouette machine.

[@AliEdwardsDesignInc]

Sure! Some things are easier than others :).

[@suzdoyle4863]

I'm intrigued by the cooking times/temps for the monkey. Is this a new delicacy? Australian here so maybe I missed a trend?!

[@AliEdwardsDesignInc]

HA HA HA. It's from Monkey Bread: www.pinterest.com/pin/14003448835529546/

[@gemma3869]

Hang on…..do you consider Christmas to be over after Christmas Day? the 25th isn’t the end of the holidays here , we have Boxing Day and another 6 days after that before the end of the year and people generally continue doing Christmassy/celebratory things during that time. Is this not a thing in the US?

[@dibailey540]

I'm intrigued by the playground balls you have in that main pic. Can you explain what they are?

[@AliEdwardsDesignInc]

We were looking for a unique + fun way to give gift cards. We found these balls at Walmart for $5 and I cut them open with a craft knife - just big enough to fit in the gift cards and then I hot glued it closed with ribbon hanging out so we could hang it from the ceiling. The kids thought it was fun!

[@dibailey540]

@@AliEdwardsDesignInc Thanks! I was trying to figure out how you got the cards in them!
