Click Into The Holidays: My December Journal

December 24, 2014 by justtyra 6 Comments

Happy Holidays! It’s Tyra here and I’m delighted to share a peek inside my journal featuring the oh so perfect  Clique into the Holidays Kit.  I am happy to report that my journal making this year has been a success. What made the difference for me this year?

• A new smartphone (and ample space to take pictures)
• A wireless compact photo printer (e.g. Canon Selphy), which allowed me to print directly from my phone
• Last but not least, the super affordable Clique Kits Holiday Kit, including the well coordinated papers and embellishments, along with an ample supply of pocket style journal cards!

So, let’s get to the journal!

I used a 6 x 8 binder:

 

I created a few journal cards of my own, but kept it simple.   Knowing that I’m using a pocket style journal, I precut a lot of paper to a 3 x 4 or 6 x 8 size and used my tiny stapler to make everything come together. The holidays are super busy, so this journal needed to be quick and easy or it wasn’t going to happen at all.

Here are a few of my journal pages! Literally everything came together fast as I simply remembered to snap a photo everyday during the month of December. I also added my children’s school projects, church and event programs, weather forecasts, and receipts for special purchases.

I’m soo happy with the progress I’ve made.  I’m soo happy I was able to capture December my way.  Just remember the next time you decide to assemble a journal, it’s really about the memories.  Keep the journaling part easy. Clique Kits help make that process so much easier.

Happy Holidays to you and yours!  Take care, Tyra.
