December Daily 2012 Pre-Order Now Available

It's time to start thinking about December Daily again!

I'll be using a Studio Calico kit as a base for my album again this year and it's now available for pre-order.

Wondering what December Daily is all about? Check out my compilation page here.

And yes, it's going to be a 4x6 linen-covered album that includes chipboard, page protectors and thick plain overlays/transparencies.


WHY 4x6?



  • To mix things up! I've been doing this for a number of years now and I'm ready to swtich things up again. I'm interested in trying out a smaller size.

  • To simplify it just a bit. Each year so many people start this project with great intentions but never complete it. Even though I've completed it each year I'd like to find a way to simplify a few things for people (such as using the most common photo size) to help you enjoy the awesome feeling of confidence that comes from actually finishing a project!


I designed an exclusive stamps set for Technique Tuesday that's included in the kit this year:

And here's a peek at some of the other supplies included (the kit will also include an exclusive 6x6 paper pack from designed by Studio Calico):

A full list of supplies and more details are available over at Studio Calico.

Printable overlays like I've done in the past will be available at Designer Digitals soon (and I'll be doing them in a variety of sizes including 4x6).

Later next month I'll be sharing my foundation pages - I usually get my album base-pages set up in advance to simplify the process in December.

    I pre-ordered this right away, looking so forward to it! At first I was a bit concerned about the 4X6 size, However, the more I think about it - it does seem more doable. I am guilty of not finishing one or two in the past! Here's to a new size and hopefully a completed one!

    I pre-ordered, although I am a little concerned about the size. I agree with your explanation of it, and figure I will do it along with you (again ) and if I need to I can add on or change it to something bigger. As always I am looking forward to what you have planned. Love this project. Thanks

    The album is fabulous and I agree that the 4x6 size is really going to be what helps me keep up with this project and finally finish a year - 1 photo or a couple photos on a 4x6 (which my little printer can do without me editing) and I'm done. I've ordered my kit and am looking forward to seeing what you create with it!

    For the last 2 maybe even 3 years I have tried and failed to do this project :( I have my album all ready but just don't seem to be able to keep up with the photo taking! Last year was better with the photo taking but this year I am determined to do it!!! Would so love to buy this kit but best use what I have already made!

    I really like how your stamps include all the way to 31. Because of vacation from school and sometimes visiting family i usually document all the way through.Thanks!

    absolutely love this years kit and my preorder is in and now I wait. I can't wait to do this along with you. Each year I have said I was going to do it and either didn't start or didn't finish. I am thinking this is a size that will be doable. Can't wait to see your new files to go along with this project.

    It looks very fun! I've only done a December Daily album once before. I wish I could afford this kit. And I wish that album was available separately - it's very cute!

    I pre-ordered mine too and am super excited to start! I just started Project Life this year - my first foray into scrapbooking - and I think I like the idea of focused projects like these, rather than making individual layouts.

    So I'm really, really excited, plus it'll be our first Christmas with our second daughter so we'll have lots to capture.

    Cannot wait for this project + kit. Now that I've worked through a great deal of my holiday stash, there's not much left this year so the kit was a no-brainer. It's gorgeous and I'm so excited to see it all in person. LOVE the stamps too of course. Can't wait to see how you put yours together.
