Documenting Our December

Maya Road | Maya Road

Last year, I worked on Ali Edwards' December Daily album but found that this year I didn't have the time to commit to it. I decided instead to document the highlights of our December this year in the form of one of our Maya Road townhouse; I love all of our houses as they come with mini albums which are perfect for decorating and documenting. Since this album has 6 pages, I could cover 12 days of fun activities we have done this month.

My townhouse was inspired by Katie's house post a couple of weeks ago. I loved how cute her house looked but I wanted to change it up a bit to fit the townhouse.

I started off by painting my house a turquoise blue (inside and outside). To give it a fun festive look, I covered it with Collage Press papers.

Using some of the papers and punches I had, I made a "flower" (idea given to me by Lia) and layered it with some patterned papers and an embossed chipboard star (from our supernova collection) and a letter "t" (from our jonathan chipboard set ) covered with glaze.

The roof was covered with paper shingles and a metal edge to finish it off.

The roof also had a chipboard heart accent (from our mini love chipboard set).

Now the album inside is chock full of wallet sized photos and a bit of journaling to document our memories:

I have a couple of blank pages left to document the last couple of days before Christmas. Each year we can take it out and reflect on what we did in the year.
