Document the holidays - HELLO DECEMBER

I am beyond excited to share with you a creative way to document the holiday season! If you love to scrapbook or if you have never put a picture in an album before - you will love this simple yet stunning project!

Project Life Hello December is all about helping you document those special moments, traditions, and fun activities you enjoy with family and friends during the month of December. Almost everyone takes photos on camera phones these days, and for me it has become natural to capture a moment using my phone. Hello December provides an accessible, fun approach to documenting and sharing your December photos and memories in one simple album.

Project Life is not meant to be overwhelming or stressful. The whole idea is to spend time making memories, not documenting them. Hello December helps you quickly and easily capture the 25 days leading up to December 25—all of those stories of December—from the treats and the decorations to the traditions and every day life.

Your goal is to tell one story each day. That might mean one picture or several. That might include a few lines of journaling or a lot of journaling. Most of the layouts will feature Christmas. However, they don’t have to, as sometimes the everyday events that keep us busy in December are the stories we really want to remember.

Speaking from experience (and many who have taken part in Hello December during past years would agree) the key to keeping the process simple is to set up the album structure before December. 

Below I have included a few ways to help you with that - including a list of suggested products, a few bundles of suggested products and a night for you to come out and put your album together. 

To get started you need the Emerald Envy 6" x 8" Project Life Album (142009), Project Life Photo Pocket Pages (Variety Pack 135297 or Variety Pack 2 142010), the Hello December 2016 Project Life Card Collection (142004), the Hello December 2016 Project Life Accessory Pack (142693). 

(Please note: you will most likely require more than one pack of pocket pages.)

Better yet, you can purchase the Project Life Hello December 2016 bundle from me and receive a bonus pack of assorted die cuts and embellishments! 

Hello December Starter Kit | Cost $60 + tax | Includes two of the 6"x8" Project Life Photo Pocket Pages (you decide which packs), the Hello December Card Collection and the Hello December Accessory Pack. PLUS Bonus Die Cuts and Embellishments

Hello December Full Kit | Cost $75 + tax | Includes the Emerald Envy 6" x 8" Project Life Album, two of the 6"x8" Project Life Photo Pocket Pages (you decide which packs), the Hello December Card Collection and the Hello December Accessory Pack. PLUS Bonus Die Cuts and Embellishments

PLUS if you purchase the starter kit or the full kit you have FREE access to the CROP NIGHT on Friday, November 25th. You can come anytime between 6pm and 9pm and use my assorted stamps, adhesive and papers to put together your album.

If you would like to purchase your own supplies or just some of the supplies and put together your own kit - you are more than welcome to still join us for the CROP NIGHT - the cost is $15 or FREE with a $25 order. 

Please sign up by November 5th to make sure your bundle/products arrive on time!
