December Daily® Kit From my Stash

This December it's the fourth time I'll be making a December Daily^®*. The first year I made my own 4x6 minibook, in 2013 I used the Kit from Ali Edwards which was sold through studiocalico.com and last year I used again Ali Edwards kit. This time it was sold through her own shop and that kit is still available. Last year's kit was a favorite. Especially those big gold alphas and numbers.

For 2015 you can not only buy one main kit from Ali Edwards but also several mini kits and additional supplies. What I love most, is that you can buy albums and stamp sets separately. Because I still have so much stuff from the past two kits and also other Christmas-related stuff, I decided to save the money and not buy this year's kit. I bought the white 6x8 album and two stamp sets. The rest comes from my stash.

Inspired by my first kit from my stash I put together back in April I decided to make a kit again for my December Daily. To work from a kit vs. the whole stuff I have is a lot easier and it also helps you creating pages that work well together because you decided on your colors and patterns beforehand. For my kit I choose the colors gold and silver, black/white, red, green, gray and beige.
