Hello! Layle back with you again today for Day 2 of December Daily™ with Simple Stories. If you missed Day 1, you can check it out here.
A few months ago I visited several online galleries looking for December Daily albums using our [email protected]! Binders in preparation for this week. I also put out a call on a few message boards and on our Facebook page asking people to send me photos of their albums to feature here on the blog. WOW! Boy did I ever see and receive some great albums!! As much as I would love to share them all, if I did this post would be miles long. So here are a few of the amazing albums from some pretty talented people out there!
First up - Alexes Marie Brown
Alexes used our teal [email protected]! Binder as the base for her album. I love how it looks like she kept to a few basic colors - red, white and teal - to keep her album looking nice and cohesive.
Next up, Amanda Miller
Amanda also used our teal [email protected]! Binder for her album. Isn't that cover fun? Makes you want to open it right up to see what's inside, doesn't it?!
Have you ever wondered if you can PAINT the cover of our [email protected]! Binders? Yes, you can! Amanda Caves painted the cover of our red [email protected]! Binder with gold paint -
Next up is Gina Janoher Marti with our brown [email protected]! Binder and our Handmade Holiday collection -
Gina adhered one of our 6x8 Handmade Holiday Pockets to the inside back cover of her binder to hold Christmas cards - how clever is that?!
Next up we have Katie Sellers Gordon. Katie did what I always forget to do with my [email protected]! Binders - add an album title to the fun metal label on the spine!
On this page Katie included something I include in my December Daily album every year - a family Christmas card! So easy to do, just punch holes in your family Christmas card and insert right in the binder as its own page.
Carrie Cook kept her cover sweet and simple - how COOL ist that red wood 'merry' that she used?!
Carrie took her son's Christmas letter to Santa and inserted it in one of the 6x8 Pocket Pages included in our [email protected]! Binders. How fun is that?!
Next up is Sherry Coogan -
I love how Sherry's cover above looks like a present wrapped up with washi tape, and what a neat intro page she has!
We wrap it up today with Lise Harris who has already put the base of her 2013 album(!) together using our new 6x8 red [email protected]! Faux Leather Album and our new December Documented collection.
Now all Lise has to do each day in December is add a photo and a little journaling, and she's done! Overacheiver :) Just kidding!! I wish I was as prepared as Lise is to get started!!
Thank you so much ladies for letting us share your amazing December Daily albums today here on the blog! We love seeing how different designers use our products.
Check in tomorrow as design team memeber Jill Cornell shares her December Daily album using our new December Documented collection.
And hey, if you've created a December Daily (or similar) album using one of our [email protected]! Binders, add a comment below with a link to your album and we'll add it to our Pinterest "December Daily with Simple Stories" board!
Great albums thanks for sharing... I'm halfway through preparing this year's DD will post a link when done :)

I used one of your 6X8 Albums for December Daily last year and I loved it.
Here is a link to my project.
