Christmas journal progress

I've spent some of today and this evening trying to make progress on getting my Christmas journal ready.

Well... I may have to rethink the whole Paperchase binder idea:

I was originally going to have one entry per side, but it was looking quite cramped to then fit a photo, date, and journal strip in, so decided since I had cut enough pages I could make it a double page entry for each day instead.

Well, that was fine in theory, even if the pages would be random in style within each double-page bit...

However, I've got as far as day 15 and the ring binder bit is getting too tight for the pages.

I may have to get some book rings and purchase some chipboard or sturdy plastic to create new covers, either way it is going to be a standing album!

Hopefully it will all turn out OK in the end, just the album pages start off really random and then become less random as we go on. Oops!

I am sure a mix and match of the final touches will sort that out and bring it all together though.

Fingers crossed!

I made a good start on my JOY album yesterday and am doing something similar to you with mixed pages and using a double page spread for each day. my book is already really thick and I have added any PP yet!!! I will look forward to following your blog through December
