Yikes! I can’t believe that it is already December 3rd! Time seems to go extra fast at this time of year!
December is always filled with lots of fun Christmas activities and wonderful memories that I want to make sure we all remember. Creating a December Daily Album is a great way to do this but has often been quite time consuming for me in the past. This year, I decided to keep things simple and made this cute little album in about an hour. It will be quick to fill in and I can easily add some extra photos to it if needed. 
I found these tag pocket cards at Michaels {from the Recollections collection} and knew they would be perfect for an album. I just cut off the strings and attached them all together with a jump ring. I created my own cover page with some papers and stickers from Authentique Paper and added a tag and a couple of jungle bells with some baker’s twine.
For the tags, I just cut out some white cardstock to fit in the pockets, inked the edges, and added a detail or two to each card. I plan on journalling on the front of the card and cropping a photo to fit on the back of the card. If I want to add extra photos, I can just trim them down to make an extra tag and punch a hole in the top.
If you don’t want to purchase the tags, you can just skip the pockets and cut out your own sized cards {or use something like Project Life cards} and attach those together with the jump ring. Even if you don’t do a particular Christmas activity on each day, you can always journal about what the holidays mean to you, your traditions, or favorite holiday decoration or food! There is always lots to record!
It is easiest to wait until you have all of your photos completed before printing. Then you can always use a photo editing program to create a collage of 2 photos and then print as a 4×6. You will then have two 2×3 photos – saves on printing fees and cropping time! 🙂
So what about you? Do you do a December daily album? Give one a try if you haven’t – they are lots of fun to look back on over the years!
Great project !!

Oh, the inspiration you’ve set off in my mind. I am making about a dozen wintery tags with pockets for Jan. & Feb, about 3 dozen flowery ones for spring, etc. i will do just do a quick photo or write up , and be done with it., not something for eveyday, but on special events like a birthday, or first blooming winter crocus, Easter breakfast at my home,….
Thanks for idea.
That’s a great idea Gail!! Have fun with it! 🙂
