Christmas Daily Days 5-8

Here is the next installment in my Christmas Daily album for my granddaughters, Paige and Payton.  Today I'm showing pages five through eight.  As with all the pages in this album I used digital stamp sets from The Cutting Cafe and my Cricut Expression and Imagine machines.  For page five I used both last year's December Daily set (Decorating the fireplace sentiment) and this year's December Daily 2 (Day 5) set.  Just click on the set for the link.  I used my Cricut Joys of the Season cartridge to cut the fireplace and the holly on the fireplace.  The bow came from the Gypsy Wanderings cartridge.  The scalloped circle behind the day sentiment is from Mini Monograms and the background frame is from the Imagine More cartridge.

I used Doodlecharms for the Christmas stockings on the Day 6 page and cut them with my Imagine so I could use the fill feature for patterned papers from the Imagine More cartridge.  I really like the Imagine machine for being able to use this feature with any of the regular cartridges that I have.  I hung the stockings from hemp cord and added the names by hand using a MS sepia marker.  I used Winter Frolic to cut The Stockings were hung. 

The Designer paper makes the page for day seven.  This paper is from 3 Bugs In a Rug North Pole collection.  I simply cut it to 8 x 8".  Then I added a scroll that I cut from Cricut's Heritage cartridge.  I'm sure it's not nearly big enough for all the things that Payton will have on her Christmas list.  LOL  The title was made using Gypsy Font.

Day eight uses the Santa that was the right edge of the piece of paper above.  I just trimmed around it, added it to a piece of blue cardstock and added the title I cut using Gypsy font.  Do You Believe In Santa is from last year's December Daily set.  I have to tell you that I made most of my album pages so my daughter could just add pictures.  As a busy working mom, I didn't think she would have the time for journaling but she is pretty good about taking pictures.  I will let her use my Canon Selphy printer so she doesn't have to even take the pictures anywhere to have them made up.

Check back in a few days for my next four pages.  I can't wait to give this album to my daughter so she can start filling the pages.  I just hope it gets taken care of so my granddaughters will have it long after I'm gone.    If you missed the first four pages of my album click here for the link.
