December Daily Album 

Designed by: Audrey Pettit

Designer's Note:
I've always wanted to make a December Daily album, but never seem to start one early enough. Maybe by starting one now, I'll actually be ready come December.

Supplies:
Glue Arts Glue Glider Pro with Perma Tac Adhesive
Glue Arts Ribbon Adhesive
Glue Arts Extreme Adhesive Squares
Glue Arts Micro Extreme Adhesive Squares

Unibind Photo Book Creator
Unibind Hardcover Landscape PhotoBook with Pre-Cut 5x3.5" Window

Cardstock: Stampin'Up
Patterned Paper: Teresa Collins, Sassafras Lass, and MAMBI
Chipboard: Little Yellow Bicycle
Rub-Ons: Creative Imaginations
Die Cuts: K&Co.
Stamps: Hero Arts
Trims: Webster's Pages
Buttons: Rusty Pickle
Baker's Twine: Divine Twine
Ink: Clearsnap 

1. Create a cover for the album. Cut a sheet of white cardstock to 8x10.5". Layer with a piece of patterned paper that is 7.5x10" using the Glue Glider Pro with Perma Tac Adhesive. Lay the cardstock on the cover, and trace the window opening from the inside of the album. Cut out window using a craft hobby blade. Add decorative stitching if you wish, and adhere papers to the album cover using the Perma Tac Adhesive.

2. Add trims to the left side of the album cover with Glue Arts Ribbon Adhesive.

3. Decorate your album cover with chipboard, rub-ons, and buttons, adhering each item with Extreme Adhesive Squares or Micro Extreme Adhesive Squares.

4. Create pages for the inside of the book. I used 16 sheets of 8.5x11" white cardstock for my book. A little tip to make it easy to turn your pages is to score each sheet of cardstock 1/2" in on the left side. Insert book spine into the Unibind PhotoBook Creator and adhere the pages following manufacturer's instructions. Allow to cool.

5. Create a title page for your album, placing elements so that they will show through the window opening. I added patterned papers and more lace and trim, along with some die-cuts, buttons, and hand-stamped title tags.

Instructions: 

1. Gather your supplies.

2. I want to treat the Unibind album as a premade book so I bind it first. Make sure you give ample time for it to seal and cool. 

3. Because this book will be a gift, I didn’t want to decorate each inside page. I wanted to give the recipients the chance to personalize this book however they want. So I opted to decorate 5 pages only. I made a sketch before hand and with that sketch, it allowed me to precut my papers. I’m using two strips for each page along with a lined pattern paper cut into a 3x6” piece. I also punched a border on one of the strip and rounded the corners of the lined paper. 

4. I then added a quote stamp onto each of the journaling blocks. 

5. Next, I built my inside pages together. I used perma tac to adhere the strips to the book pages. 

6. I altered the placement of my papers and journaling block for each of the pages for variety. 

7. Next I worked on the front page. I used the same design and adhered the paper strips with perma tac. 

8. I then adhered a block from the shimmered pattern paper onto brown heart paper.
9. I cut out a scallop edge from the brown heart paper and adhered that to the front page of the book. Make sure you line this up to center onto the page and the window on the front of the book. 
10. I used the die cut machine to cut out a "&" sign. 

11. Next, I covered the & sign with perma tac. Make sure you get all the nooks and crannies on this one. For the adhesives that went over the image, I folded them to the back. 

12. I then poured gold glitter onto the sign. 

13. Then I added some U Cut It foam on the back and added it to the center of the shimmery paper block in the front page of the card. 

14. Next, I cut out a capital N and R from pattern paper and adhered that to the book beside the & sign.
15. I then cut out some white swirls/flourishes on the White Accent it all sheet. 
16. Then I laid them onto the front of the book.

17. I decided to go back to the front page and add a strip of pattern paper with the word date handwritten on it. 

18. To finish the book, I added another flourish die cut using the White Accent it all sheet on the back of the book.
