I have a tendency to leave things unfinished just before the end. I'm breaking that cycle now, first I finished my Me: The Abridged Version a few weeks ago and now, yes ladies and gentlemen, I finished my December Daily 2010!
I'm leaving to spend Christmas and New Year's at my parent's tomorrow so yesterday was my last chance to finish the album before the end of this year. And I did it!
I did five pages before dinner, and finished the final five by midnight. Well... technically, "The End" rolled out of my Silhouette exactly at midnight. Kind of fitting, huh?
It only took me about a year.... Ahem, let's just try to do better for this year's DD.
I've also been using my Silhouette more. I usually search my dies for what is in my head for what I want for a page but I've often not been able to find what I want, and then I'd think, hey, wait a minute, I can make anything I want using the Silhouette! It started with the "2011" on my December Daily 2011
For the DD2010 I've done three elements with the Silhouette, and I've also made a birthday card with pennants cut using the Silhouette.
You'll see another trend in the photos above. For this year's December Daily I started taking pics using Vignette (A sort of Instragram/Hipstamatic for Android) and decided that it would be fun to use those types of pics for my December Daily. Something about the grainy and grungy quality of the shots and edges fits really well with the album I have in mind for this year.
Here's a few shots I made for this year's DD
Well, I have to go now and pack, so I wish you all a very Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!
