Washi Workshop with Shanna

Hi there friends! So this is going to be a different type of washi workshop today as I have December Daily on the mind! Are you thinking about doing a December Daily, or similar project? I am super excited to start mine and I have started gathering ideas on how I might go about it this year. I do best if most of the work is done before December first, so then all I really need to do is take pictures and jot down the details. This year December is a HUGE year for us! My husband is coming home from a year long deployment and my brother in law is getting married. Even though its going to be busy, I think its very important to document such a memorable month in our life! So if I have any hope of getting this done I need to pre-plan! Even though I bought the Studio Calico December Daily kit, I still wanted to plan out exactly how I was going to go about doing all this! So when my kit arrives I can make the base pages and be ready to go!

I am wanting to use a matchbox style page (I found a cut I need to customize on the cameo software) for each day, as you open it there will be a spot for a picture attached with washi tape and a pocket to tuck all the goodies I come across in. I also want to include notes from the girls in there as well. 

For the cover I want to create a very graphic logo for each day of the month. I don't know exactly how I will create this yet but I love these from Shalin Studio. (so cute, right?!)

As I have mentioned before that I adore using washi tape in my mini's!!! I wanted to link you up to some I plan on using in my December Daily! 

I am sorry but I am 100% in love with these reindeer!

Wide Gold Airmail, enough said! :) 

Red Polka Dots! Hello, I love you!

Another thing I find super important to complete my December Daily is a small home photo printer. There are so many amazing ones out there. I happen to like the Canon Selphy, I LOVE the size (I even travel with it!) I love that the paper and ink are sold together but mostly I love that I can print JUST the photo I need in the moment I need it!

So what are you doing to prepare for your December crafts? If it's the December Daily, card making, present wrapping.... I would love to hear all about it! I hope we have inspired you today to get yourself in gear to create everything you desire for the season! 

Talk to you soon!
