ALI EDWARDS STYLE

If you are short on time then this post may not be for you.
Thanks to the wonderful Ali Edwards I put together this journal last night with bits and pieces I had around the place.
Now I'm all set to photograph and journal each day of December leading up to Christmas without the hassle of putting a journal page together from scratch each day. I know myself better than to try and do that, 5 days in and it will be the end of the project.
So, with the basics already in place, all I have to do is click away, journal day to day stuff and add some simple embellishments. This journal doesn't need a lot, it's simple and Ali style.

front cover; Christina Re paper, dymo tape, chipboard, paint, felt star from Spotlight.


Day 1; trading card holder, Christina Re paper, Ali Edwards digital journal card, Hambly transparency.

Day 2; polka dot card, Heidi Swapp chipboard number.

Day 3; Maya Road sheer file card, chipboard number.

Day 4; kraft cardstock, Ali Edwards digital journal card, my own designed digital number.

Day 5; black cardstock, Ali Edwards digital December journaling page.

As you can see I have limited my colours and selection of papers and embellishments to keep this project very simple and flowing, I will be adding pages to the days that need more room.

Thanks for looking,
