Winter where I live is hard. [Alternatively, the summer is dreamy. It's a perfect mix of good and bad.] 

The days get increasingly shorter as we head into December. The temperatures drop. Windchill comes into play making cold conditions even more frigid. Not every day is awful. We have our fair share of  clear bright sunny days, although Baby, it's cold outside... 

When it snows, it snows. Usually accompanied with the wind [hence the windchill] drifting huge piles of snow all over. Making removal, driving, and sometimes even getting doors open, a challenge. 

We were issued a heavy snowfall warning the day after Halloween. So we're now accustomed to warming up cars,  scraping windows, shovelling sidewalks and dressing in multiple layers before leaving the house. 

Somehow, decorating for Christmas makes this cold, dark time of the year easier.  Here's a non-photo layout I created using the Evergreen Collection, and one of the recently released December Memories templates, just kind of documenting my feelings. 

I love how this turned out. 

How you live your life is really so much about attitude. 

[Having said that, don't even get me started about January and February... Those are a couple of long hard months]

We also got our tree up and decorated this past week. So I created another quick layout using the December Memories templates. [There are so many to choose from and makes creating pages so quick!]

December Memories | Designed by Soco

We're nearly midway through November, and for those of you who participate in any kind of memory keeping through December, you are maybe beginning to think about foundation pages.

The-Lilypad is kicking off the holiday season with Unwrap the Magic, a brand new Document Your December [DYD] collection. Go and check it out!  It's a huge collection of December themed products, from all different designers and they're all available from today through November 14th, for 30% off.

I'm super excited about the 6x8 templates that are available by Designed by Soco.  [These templates are available in 12x12 sized too]

I have done December Daily albums for quite a few years now. I bounce back and forth between using physical paper & elements to doing pages strictly digitally. 

As soon as I saw these clean, sleek simple templates, I was excited.  This year I will use a combination of physical papers, journal cards and embellishment with some simple, super fast and easy to put together digital pages. It will round the album out so nicely. 

There might even be a time in the future, that I'll do my album completely in digital form. Then I can sent the pages off and have a digital book made.  

Here are a few pages I created, using the templates above.
