JYC Day 2 ...

... the offical prompt yesterday was about the weather, but as I already intended to add in my frosty photo from the 1st , I decided to go with Shimelle's alternative suggestion of including a monthly planner.
Day 2's activity: a festive colour!

Right - off to read today's prompt!

JYC Day 1...

... my pages from yesterday.

I choose to document the advent calenders, especially as the activity calender is new this year.

And here's the girl's decorating their cards. I've added an envelope into my journal to store their cards in.

Journal Your Xmas...

... so 2 days until Journal Your Xmas starts. This will be my third year and the least I have been prepared for it!

The first year I followed the prompts to the letter. The second year I journalled the day's activities first and used the prompts when there was nothing specific to record. This year I'm starting with the premise that I might not even journal every day, but if I do that's a bonus!!

I bought the November project kit from Scarlet Lime which mainly had Making Memories Mistletoe paper and embellies. These colours are more traditional than I would normally go for, but for ease of use decided to buy some more papers from the range and have added various other bits in - October Afternoon alphas, some ebay ribbon, red tags (think I bought them to use last year!) and some Paperchase felt sowflakes.
So yesterday I made this little tag using the Scarlet Lime project instructions (slightly adapted) to make a title for my as yet undecided album!

It was only today after a visit to Paperchase that I decided on my format - this A5 Kraft file folder plus black card and 6x4 photo pockets.

Last year I prepped all my pages beforehand, but seeing as though time is not on my side, I think I shall do the pages as I go along. I have managed to add the tag to the folder though.

Let the festivities commence!!
