The black and white striped background is so stunning!!!

[@JaymaMalme]

Thank you!

[@CraftyConceptswithErin]

The black and white background looks so good and great tip to cut the little strip for a guide while adhering your strips. Perfect title for the first page ❤

[@JaymaMalme]

Thank you! And to think I almost didn’t get that stamp set I used for the title 😂

Beautiful layout, Jayma. I love the addition of the greenery!

[@JaymaMalme]

Thanks so much! I love when greenery works in my clusters. 😍

It finished up as a great page for starting your December daily. I like it better than last years to be honest, but then I love bright sparkly colours. When you got your circles out it reminded me that the recent, It's your birthday' stampset & thin cuts (CC9237) has a circle die plus a square die as well that might suit some of your date stamps better & the square is not as big as the ones you showed. I like the numbers you are using as they are whimsical & less formal.

I love this page and your sharing the process of what paper to use and why you choose that particular paper. I have both of your sketch books.😀 I also appreciate you sharing how you organize your December daily supplies. Could you share a picture of your coffee bar? I have one but it is very simple and I am looking for ideas. Thank you for all you do.

[@JaymaMalme]

Hi Teresa! I am glad you enjoyed the paper-choosing process. That’s always a big part of the fun for me. 😊 I’d be happy to share a full photo! I can’t add a photo here so I’ll take one and post it to my KZbin feed as a post i stead of video. My husband built it last year, it’s one of my favorite spaces now!

I made my first December Daily last year and really enjoyed it. I started early and your organization tips really helped! I also have the Creative Team idea book that I plan on using again. I like it use one main kit throughout the book but I love the Home Again and Evergreen and will use both this year. I can’t wait to see what you come up with your future pages! Thanks again Jayma!😊

[@JaymaMalme]

It’s so fun, isn’t it? I feel like the small pages aren’t as daunting as 12x12s sometimes. (Though I do love 12x12!) I hear you about sticking with one collection. I said I was gonna do that last year but I have so much fun Christmas paper…I just can’t help but dive into my stash and find the perfect pieces to go with the pictures! So, I am letting myself run wild 😂

[@JulieCarriere_TheScrapZone]

I love your title page 😊

[@JaymaMalme]

Thank you!

Love the bottom right cluster 🎄. So when does Elfie make his appearance? I noticed your calendar said 26 more days til Christmas. TFS

[@JaymaMalme]

Thanks! He usually comes on Dec 1. I took the photo the night before so the kids hadn’t changed the countdown yet! 😂

[@leighhess3501]

Beautiful layout, as always. So clean and simple. Wondering where to find the little evergreen "sprigs" (stickers?) I've seen in many of your winter layouts?

[@JaymaMalme]

Thank you!! They come from various die sets mostly, sometimes they are Cricut cuts and sometimes from embellishment packs. These ones are from a slimline die called Sprigs & Leaves Slimline that is filled with different leaves so you get a bunch of leaves in one pass thru the die-cut machine.

[@schnauzermommy]

Love the colors that you used. Were the green sprigs done with glitter paper?

[@JaymaMalme]

Yes they were! I’ve always gotta sneak in that glitter 😊 It’s from a retired pack that had that bright green.

Jayma-when you use texture paste, what brand do you use. To make it shiny, I saw Chelsea do a page and she said she used liquid glass over it once it was really dry. How do you do that? Do you use a disposable paintbrush? Thanks and Merry Christmas!

[@JaymaMalme]

Hi Erin! I use the Ranger texture paste. To add liquid glass you can just use the tip of the bottle. It has a skinny tip so you can squeeze it on and use the tip to help spread it around. You could use a brush if you want, but I think it would ruin the bristles. It dries pretty fast and rock hard!
