Here goes...

Well this is my very first blog post, the first of which i hope will be many :)

At the moment i am attempting to complete my Journal Your Christmas album from Shimelle Lane's class http://www.shimelle.com/. I know, I know, Christmas!!! but i really had no time during the Christmas period to keep up with it. I did keep up with my daily journalling so i do have my references to go back to everyday. So its slowly coming along, and i must say that i am enjoying creating my first christmas journal.

I chose an American Crafts D-ring album 8"x11.5" and i am creating landscape layouts. From this experience i think i will downsize to 8"x8" next year if the plan is to keep up with it daily through December, but we will see :)

I have been mainly using products from Polka Dot Whimsy November speciality kit http://www.polkadotwhimsy.com/. But i do have a good supply of the Basic Grey Dasher and Figgy Pudding collections which i will also be adding.

These are a few of the first pages:
