Photo album ordered!
I love when I can cross a "to-do" item from my list. The item I crossed last was to make an album of my photo a day project.
What I had set to do initially was to take a photo a day from 31/10/2011 to 30/10/2012. From the start, I decided I wanted to make an album out of it. {what's the point otherwise? 365 random photos in your hard drive?}. I designed a double page for each week - one photo on the left, 6 on the right. And if I missed a day or two, I'd just reduce the number of photos on the right. Easy, and the album would still look OK, and the number of pages limited to little over a 100 instead of potentially 366!
Last week I finished filling my album and this week I designed the cover and sent it to blurb.com to be printed. Can't wait to see the album.
Here's the cover is designed.
The postage stamp shape is Maling Label No. 4 by Paislee Press. Font is Bebas Neue.

No! December already?
I am not what I did in November - it went so quickly and I have nothing to show for it.
Well, almost nothing. Last post I mentioned I had made some cards for charity and didn't take photos. Afterwards I made some more and took photos of 3 of them.
I am not great at colouring, so at first, since they had to be quick cards I didn't think in using some of my images - but eventually I changed my mind and use the snowman in a few of them.
The sentiments are ready made, a digital download from Sahlin Studios.
I also wanted to use a decorated bauble, but couldn't find anything I liked so I made my own and cut it with the Silhouette.
The outside shape I designed in PSE and the inside is part of a snowflake brush by Ars Grafik. Originally the design was much more intricated, but the Silhouette wasn't cutting it right so I had to simplify it. My kinda card. Minimal.
Thanks for looking!
