PL2022 - Weeks 41 & 42 | Sahlin Studio

Weeks 41 and 42 of October are combined. 

I still can't get over what an amazing fall we had this year.

We enjoyed short sleeved t-shirts until almost the end of October. Unheard of in our parts. It cooled down as soon as the sun set. And the days were noticeably shorter, but it was lovely just the same. 

• Crunchy leaves under my feet. A fall favourite. 
• Little dog sunning herself on the back patio. She's a sun worshipper.
• Candlelight concert with Barry, such a memorable evening. 
• Chores in Cochrane.
• And hello snow... This is more like the 'fall' we're used to in Calgary.

December 2022 Template Freebie | Sahlin Studio

Here is the final template freebie of 2022. 

I'm honestly not sure how it can possibly be the end of this year, yet here we ware. 

To download this template, free through December, follow this link.

Here is the layout I made using the template:

For many years, the anticipation of the Christmas cups was high. Then Covid hit, and no one left their houses. That was when my coffee runs out of the house, literally came to a screeching halt. I think I can count on one hand how many times I've been to Starbucks in the past few years... 

So I was delighted on a recent trip to Tim Horton's to get a Christmas cup. I also loved the idea of documenting my favourite things as we head into this holiday season. 

A super simple page and thanks to the template and some dragging and dropping.

Mad for Plaid | Sahlin Stuio

It's that time of year again, I'm tinkering with my December Daily album. 

I don't have as many foundation pages done as I'd like to, but I'm not stressing about it at all. I'll just work on them when I can. I'm always glad to put the effort in to make a December Daily album, even if it does not get totally finished. 

I've used December's featured product from Sahlin Studio, Mad for Plaid to fiddle a bit with this years title page of my album. For the whole month of December, this collection and all it's elements can be picked up for 50% off!

I will be using these photos, for sure. 

But I may change things around a bit. But at least it's a starting off point to get the creative juices flowing. 

I participated in Ali Edwards December Daily Prep Day 2022 class back in mid-November. It was AWESOME. So easy to get hyped up and inspired with so many great creators and ideas! It was totally worth the $5 it cost to take it. I would recommend to anyone who is on the fence. Sign up next year! 

I plan to make this years album a little bit of everything. Some physical layouts [I got the Document your December kit from Elle's Studio] and some digital layouts. At the end of the day, I'll be glad I've done it, no matter how it turns out. Every year I think I might create it all digital, and then have a book printed at the end. Some year I will, but it's not this year... 

Happy December memory making everyone!

Evergreen Collection | Designed by Soco

Released just in time for Black Friday is the Evergreen Collection. It's a collaboration between Designed by Soco and Anita Designs.  

For today you can download the entire bundle for a 54% savings!! Or, if you'd rather download separate packs, they're each available for 40% off. But don't wait too long to decide, these incredible savings won't last long!!

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!]

This past year has been hard. The hardest actually. And I have spent a lot of it being sad. But also happy. Because it's okay to be sad and happy. I've definitely had to choose happy. I wouldn't say it's come easy over the last 13 months. 

In any case, we just celebrated our 24th anniversary, and happy or sad, I'm thankful it's this guy by my side.
