December Daily 2010 | Day Sixteen

Wow Ali thanks for the inspiration as always! I didn't send any cards this year and I am feeling a little bit guilty about it but next year is another chance! Your book is beautiful and you are such a wonderful role model to your kids. In today's world of sadness, disasters and war it is so nice to see the essence of your being everyday in the pages you prepare. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for sharing your life with us. Have a most joyous and safe festive season and a wonderous beginning to 2011.

Fabulous as always !

Wahou !! But how much cards have you write ????
I think I'm gonna write cards too....if I have enough time this year !!

I'm really loving seeing your Christmas pages. Today's was my favorite so far.

I love checking out your december daily every night and tonight I loved the new photo ideas. Shooting the bunch of cards before they are posted. Lovely! Now I'm excited about doing my cards this weekend. Who would have thought. Thank you.

I love your page today, so pretty and love those vintage buttons. That is a lot of card to mail, wish I would have thought to take a picture of mine before mailing. My page for today was going to be about my cards that I send out, so thank you for the idea of saving a stamp. So sweet of your mom to send them notes and cards, she has beautiful handwriting like you. Thank you again Ali for all you do, I'm sure you are just as busy this season too but you taking the time to share this with us means more than you could know. One more week till Christmas Eve, hooray!!

Ali this is a lovely aspect of Christmas to capture and I love the letters ~ such a wonderful keepsake. thank you for yet more great inspiration.

Thanks for the post Ali! I'm enjoying thinking about our holiday month more this year...although I'm stressing about only being complete up to day 5 :-) Just finished scanning the letters to Santa! Am hoping to "catch up" a little this weekend!

Oh...and have to finish up addressing my cards too!

Thanks so much for the inspiration

Ok, my album is even thicker then that... I'm already on the look out for 3"binder rings.
:D

Great idea for today - I was going to drop my cards in the mail but I think I'll stop and take a photo of them stacked up on the table first....and saving the postage stamp stub...great idea. I would have normally just trashed it!

I just put the stamps on my cards and was going to toss the stamp paper...thanks for the great idea!

hi ali! am loving all of your DD pages so far! quick question... i am sharing a post today about what i do with my christmas cards after the holidays... an idea that i totally stole from you last year (square punching them into a photo montage)... i was trying to find the link to your post on the new AE website, but am having no luck. can you point me in the right direction? i want to make sure i give you due credit;)

looks great....what pen did you use to journal on the photo?
Thanks!

It always makes me happy to see you DD, but even happier when I see some of the ideas that I had show up in your book! It makes me feel like I actually know what I am doing. I have a page with my Christmas card, the leftover part of the stamps, and a picture of them all on the table for one of my spreads from last week! Thank you for all of the inspiration! Only 8 more days!

This is so lovely.

A quick question... I'm wondering what type of pen you used to write the journaling on the photo?

I used your "merry little Christmas" for the back of our photo cards this year and just love how they turned out. I will have to link up to them once I get a picture taken. AND I used the same stamps....lol.
May have to put this as my day 16 too bec. I spent last night addressing envelopes.

My day 16 was about keeping in touch too! Except I had no motivation to take any pictures. Bad Amy. I may just try snapping a photo of them today before I drop them in the mail, and use the photo as the background on my journaling page. We'll see. That's one of the things I really love about digi scrapping... so easy to change!

I love the note from your mother. I'm glad she does that. I lost my mother to cancer almost 6 years ago so my daughter will not have something like that. Thanks for sharing. I mailed out my 4 cards last week. I still have some to make this weekend for my close neighbors. I will take a picture of those. Great idea!

I also wrote our Christmas cards yesterday.
Love your card! I saw a very nice card on flickr where one of your brushes was used, and it was a great idea for Christmas cards - I'll need to remember that to next year.

love this so much. : ) Your mom's little notes are so special.
