dec. daily {2010}...

welcome to this week's unity/{ippity} dt HIP HOP blog hop! 

we have a very FUN theme for you this week.  have you heard of the dec. daily inspired by ali edwards?  it's quite simple, you create a memory book for the first 25 days in december...and journal each and everyday. you create the bones of all the pages BEFORE the month of dec. starts because we all know that dec. is always a crazy busy month...so then you just have to add a photo or some memories of the day...even receipts from a shopping day {anything as a little reminder of your day}.  what a wonderful way to remember all those little moments that seem to just quickly pass by us.....

i have created my cover....still need to create the inside pages which i will do within the next couple of days {hopefully!} ;)

it's a pretty simple design but in real life it is super SPARKLY and lovely.

i actually just tore up an old cardboard box...and used that for the cover and then added 5 pages. the other pages will consist of photos, envelopes, decorative card stock, etc...

ahhhh....GLITTER...i LOVE glitter...

have i mentioned that before? ;) 

i used the stamp images from the kits kissmas & mistletoe & love in return

all of which you can get from an ippity CHICK!

we also have some VERY EXCITING NEWS...we have our {ippity} FALL 2010 collection releasing in ONE WEEK!AND oh my goodness you are going to LOVE every single NEW RELEASE we have...they are UNIQUE yet something you can see yourself using OVER & OVER again. we are going to start revealing the kits starting on SUNDAY.  2 per day...along with our dt blog hop.  i hope you will be able to join us!

Friday with my Unity FRIENDS!

Hello and HAPPY Friends with Flair Friday!!

Last night I was able to get started on a PIRATE mini album that I have been wanting to work on. I still need to finish the backs of each of the pages and have a couple more that I need to add the finishing touches to...but I was able to get a great start on it.

I used all Unity Stamps to create these pages...
Frame this Alpha
SBC-103 Priceless Reflections {Dec '09} Collection

Have you seen the December Scrapbooking kit yet?

Check it out on the Unity homepage HERE.

You get a HUGE amount of stamps

12 pieces of scrappy paper

INK in Moulin Rouge!

The album is made from items that I had in my craft room...mostly from other mini albums that I didn't use all of the pieces from. I just punched a hole in the upper left corner of each piece and used a big silver ring that I also had in my craft stash!

Did you know that Target now has a .99 cent scrapbooking section? I picked up some rub-ons and other accessories the other day and used them here....

The rest of the pages need just a little more work...hopefully I'll be able to complete them this weekend! :)
