December Daily 2010 | Digital Layered Templates & Overlays

For those of you who are planning to do all digital December Daily projects, I've created two new products to help you document your season. The new products include a set of 12 layered templates and a set of 12x12 31 days overlays. Click the sample layout above to view larger.

Here's a look at the package of 12 layered templates (these all come in one package - I made three preview images so you could see all 12 of the layered templates):

Here's the 12x12 31 Days Overlays which include a bonus set of 4 layered templates that co-ordinate with the layered templates shown above:

These overlays do not include specific days of the week (like the 2010 6x8 overlays I'm using in my hybrid album). They could be used in a variety of different projects documenting days or birthdays or anything that includes a number.

Here's a closer look at those products in action starting with the left side of the spread (click image to view larger):

and the right side:

If I were doing this project all digitally I'd aim for a simple approach using templates plus a combination of the products I used above (and listed below). Word and phrase stickers are still one of my favorite products in paper or used on the computer. I just found the Katie Pertiet Text Clusters Brushes & Stamps No. 1 and they are so cool. And white cardstock, always white cardstock.

There's a great post over at Designer Digitals in the General Digital Talk forum right now that addresses getting templates ready in advance for December Daily. If you'd like to learn more about prepping digital files in advance and see some samples check it out here.

    OH, I am so getting these. I am doing another 8x8 (I just like that size so much) and loved my hybrid pages last year. Thanks for doing these...

    I LOVE these overlays. I bought them this morning and used them to make a 2 page layout of pictures from our trip to the county fair last night. Now I am psyched to try making my December Daily pages (in digi form) ahead of time. Thanks, Ali!

    Hi Ali!

    I just started using your templates, and they are completely awesome! It's amazing how easy they are to use, even for a hybrid newbie like me. I just have one wish - these gorgeous December Daily templates as 8,5*11... I love my home printer, but it is only standard size. But I will probably get these 12*12 and shrink them to 8*8 too :)

    Any advice on converting these digital templates to 8X8... would we have to take them apart piece by piece and resize each layer?

      Not at all Lynn! I actually recommend constructing them at the current size (without changing anything). When you are finished with the page (save first as 12x12), flatten all the layers, change the image size to 8x8 (under Image/Image Size) and save as jpg for printing.

      ahhh... I had not even thought of doing it that way. Thanks so much!

    Fun reading all the comments. I am going with the hybrid and am excited to get started. Collecting my materials but am committed to completing my current project before getting started.

    Lovely templates Ali! I'm doing mine hybrid or mostly traditional paper, but these templates are very tempting.

    I have a question. I need to use an album I have. It has flocked brocade on it already and I like it.
    I need to turn the pages the long way.
    I guess I use more landscape photos anyway. I purchased the
    kit at designer digitals for the Dec. daily 2010 but do not know how to turn things around.

    Hi Ali! I LOVE this project. This will be my second project to follow along with and adapt to my own style and I actually am trying to use what I have on hand for this as I have so much scrapping stuff....I tend to "hoard" it! Anyway did you mention where to by the pack of plain hambly overlays? I cannot find them anywhere. Thanks! :D

    Ali-
    the clear heavy hambly overlays - because of the thickness - what did you use to cut these? do you like the thickness or are they too thick? you might have mentioned it, but i can't seem to find the post. i'm trying to decide if i want to order any of these??

      Hi Lori - I use my trimmer and go back and forth over it a couple times. I use a Fiskars Desktop Rotary trimmer.

    Oh I just love these.
    For the right side you have to adjust the template I guess?
    I'm thinking about doing a prohect 365 nect year like this. Loose the christmas stuff and then a week each layout.
    But then I have to have other overlays I guess? Or can I adjust these ones for my project?

    [...] AE : Sure! You can purchase any of the three December Daily template sets I have available at Designer Digitals: vol 1, vol 2, and vol 3 (made for 2010). In addition you might want to check out the 31 Days 12×12 overlays which work alongside the vol. 3 layered templates. You can read the post I did about the templates here. [...]

    Hi Ali, I bought the 6x8 templates with dates on and the little square embellishments with 'tis the season etc on. However, I cant seem to open one of the files with the little squares in (computer says it is too big?) and the files that I can open are black or brown. Can I change the colour?
    Thanks

    Hi Ali - I love these digital templates and was wondering if I re-sizing the template down to 6x6...would I lose the quality of the images? Hope that makes sense?
