Don’t you love that feeling when a big important project is finished, the satisfaction and joy that it’s done.  That’s how I feel every time I finish a journal. It’s pure joy and happiness! I love doing a December Daily album each year. They don’t always get finished but when they do it’s magic. This year I decided to do mine in the standard Daisy Dori and I’m hooked on this size. It worked out beautifully. I have a few pictures below and then a walk through video to share my experience.

I was able to create beautiful double page spreads in this size. The pictures I printed were mostly about 2×3 inches and they fit perfectly.

A typical journaling card also fit wonderfully! I love using those as backgrounds for my photos or as a tip in to make room for more photos if I needed.

The blank pages in the Daisy Dori were perfect backdrops for full double page layouts. It reminds me of scrapbooking on a much smaller scale.

I had fun using up supplies this year. I decided to use several different alphas for this title and I think it lends nicely to the whimsy of the page.

I was okay with covering some of the pages with scrapbook paper. It was fun to design a whole new page around  the photos. I love all the green on this spread.

The beautiful designs on the inserts made decorating a breeze when I didn’t have a lot of time. This page was so easy! A picture, a title, and a die cut that’s it!
