* Journal your christmas Day 7 *


Supplies: Lauren gier a month to be merry, Jenn Barrette & Sahlin Studio Kitchy Christmas & Jenn Barrette & Shawna Clingerman Very Merry and Bright.

Day 7's subject is about everything that is still on your to do list. I had to think back what had I done around that time and what needed still to be done. We are not just a few days away from Christmas. Days are going really quick.

* Journal your christmas Day 5 *

Supplies: Lauren gier a month to be merry, Jenn Barrette & Sahlin Studio Kitchy Christmas &  Jenn Barrette & Shawna Clingerman Very Merry and Bright.

I worked on some layouts this weekend to try to catch up, that didn't quite work out because I am not feeling so good recently. I hope I will not come down with the flue.. Happened to me last year around this time of year as well.
Anyway the subject was Advent calander, I am using a december kraslot since few years to count down :) No big win so far...

* Journal your Christmas Day 4 *

Supplies: Very Merry & Bright from Shawna Clingerman & Jenn Barrette and Kitschy Christmas from Jenn Barrette & Sahlin Studio, journaling tag from Kristin Cronin Barrow.
I am running a little behind in my Journaling pages, you might have noticed that ;)
However, I am taking a break this weekend from all things Chrismassy in order to try to catch up. Notice the word TRY. Today I finished day 4 wish was about christmas dreams. I am hoping for a white christmas, but it certainly doesn't look like it will happen. It's now the 16th and this morning we had some wet snow which only stayed a few hours in the garden and than again the rain whiped it all away again. However for even a brief moment it was lovely sight.

Journal your christmas Day 3

This time the subject was Christmas Cards. Some years now I have been handcrafting my cards. I like it and think it gives something special. I already bought some paper earlier this year, but never came around to start it. Until now, when it's only 3 weeks or so before christmas. So I decided to make som digi cards this year. I printed them out this weekend. I have searched for printing matt, but without luck. So I am printing glossy/shiny now. I think  can collect them some days later. I  am really curious how they will turn out.

Journal Your Christmas Day 2

The second day was about the weather; until now there is no snow, in fact it really looks a lot like autumn,  with rain and wind. It doesn't feel like the season at all.
I read the new forcast, after the second half of december it looks like it will be a lot colder and there will be snow and freezing. We will wait and see...

Journal your Christmas day 1

I have started not one christmas project but 2! And that in one of the busiest times of the year. But I am looking forward to it and hoping I can keep up. I wanted to take shimelles class already last year, but instead did a december daily with Ali Edwards as inspiration. This year I entered the class.
I am already a bit behind :) but I know most work will be done in the weekend, so expect layouts on those days.

I bought Kitscy Christmas by Jenn Barrette & a Month to be Merry by Lauren Grier & Holly Berry font by Darcy Baldwin available at Sweet Shoppe Designs. These kits are not the style I usually scrap with but I love the items in the 2 kits, so I am challenging myself to use them and without templatest to step out of my comfort zone as well.

Day 1 is about Christmas Manifesto. I used Shimelle's text and added some words of my own.
