Yeah you read right. Here I was doing the whole, I'm not giving in, I'm not doing it, I do project life, I don't need another project, I can't and I wont fail for the fourth year running. Yet here I am, telling you all my plans for 2014 December Daily....... What am I getting myself into?
If I share my plans, it will add the pressure to get it done right? That's my line of thinking. Here's what I've got planned to use and do for 2014 :
BINDER : My plans start with the album that I've bought from Studio Calico, here, that's currently on it's way to me along with a red and green ink, why not right?
STAMPS : Of course I'll be using my stamp sets from my store here, Joy, Cheer and my new Summer Set coming 5th December. Why summer? Australia has summer over Christmas. Date stamp will be used plenty also.
EMBELLISHMENTS : I'll be using embellishments such as Color Cast Designs, Freckled Fawn, Elle's Studio and flair from Scrapbook and More [not pictured].
DIGITAL AND POCKET CARDS : I plan to use digital cards that I'll print from, Rachel, Big City Quiet, here and Oh Snap Boutique, here. I found these the other day via a project life group and am thinking they might will also be making an appearance, here. While I'm planning to also make my own cards, like these I made a few weeks back.

So there we have my plans on what I'm going to use. Now onto what I plan to do and not do.
FAILED : The thing I struggled with over and over again was trying to keep up. I was in the mind frame, that if I didn't do each day at least a couple of days after it happened, then that's it, I've failed, pack it up, I'm done. While this year I want to go into it with more of a plan. I also wont go beating myself up if I'm working on it, after Christmas.
I've also found it a little hard when looking at inspiration, mainly because most are in winter and we as I mentioned are in Summer.
One thing I wont do, is follow a list. I'm still going to write down things I want to capturing. But I'm not going in search of lists, like I did last year.
PLANS 2014 : On the topic if 'lists' I'm going to start thinking now about the moments that happen every year that I want to capture. I'm going to look through my project life album and jot them down. Attach to the binder, even if just on a post it note, it doesn't have to be included into the actual album.
Share more of the elf. This is my girls biggest excitement of the year. For the Heidi and Chloe anyway. Last year I tried not to include him too much when I started and the year before [even known I never finished those albums], thinking he'd take up too much of the album. BUT that is the point of the little guy, not to take up the album, haha, but to share the excitement and joy that little guy brings, for the girls to look back and remember that.
More so than anything that is what I have to remember. This is more for my girls, to look back on one day when they are older and remember their childhood and the excitement Christmas brought for them in 2014.
These are my 2014 December Daily plans. What are yours? Did you buy a kit or putting your own together.
