It just came together, by itself...

I colored this image last January (see post HERE) but could never figure out what to do with it.  I made the Scrappy Background just as long ago, this one with squares and rectangles and again, didn't know what to do with it.  About a month ago, I die-cut around the image and distressed it, STILL not knowing what to do with it.  So it and the Scrappy Background have been floating around my desk for quite awhile.  YESTERDAY, they met up with each other and a lightbulb went on in my mind.  HOLY COW!  They belong together!  I love how this came out...

December Daily, 5th thru 31st...

December Daily Prompt...

Welcome to your prompt for today for the "DDIG - Anything Goes" Facebook group...

 

Your mission, should you choose to accept it, is to make a journal card or page commenerating a Christmas tradition or traditions.  This could be a tradition you remember from your childhood or one you do now.  It could be a picture of your tradition or a journal entry.  After all, "Anything Goes!" in this group...

 

Here's what I did...

I started writing down some of the traditions I remembered from when I was a child and those I do now.  It was interesting to see the things that didn't change. Now, THAT'S tradition... :)

If you're stumped, start asking yourself these questions:
Do we do an Advent calendar? 
Do we bake cookies?
Do I take a picture of my favorite ornament?
Do we cut down our own tree?
Do we open our gifts on Christmas Eve or Christmas morning?
Do we drive around looking at light displays?
Do we host a party?
Do we go to a Christmas pageant or Church service?

Once you start thinking about it, you'd be surprised what you remember and the list can be endless...
so go now and have fun! 

December Daily...

I'm doing my first "December Daily" and I actually have the first couple days done... OH MY GOD!!  What an accomplishment for me!  Aren't you proud Susan?!!

 

My friend Susan started a facebook group called "December Daily Inspiration Group - Anything Goes" (click HERE to join us) and it has been wonderful.  Looking at everyone else's creations just confirmed to me that I didn't want to be left out in the cold... literally!  This has been challenging to keep up with but LOOK, I'm up to Day 4 and it's only Day 6... HUGE!!

 

The upper right hand panel is supposed to represent my album cover.  Susan gave me the printout when we were together last Saturday and it just fits perfectly in the ongoing theme I have thru out the rest of the book.  Each month has an actual calendar on it.  Why shouldn't December's be bigger?  It's a special month...

 

So, wish me luck on this endeavor and we'll see where we end up together... :)
