Some Christmas Pages

I am enjoying getting caught up on my digital scrapbooking pages since this summer. Both kids' birthdays are in the summer (July & August) so I do them a book each year from their birthday to right before the next birthday. So I needed to catch up on Aug-Christmas. Here are some of the layouts I've finished so far. I still have a couple more Christmas layouts to do for each.

For 2015 my goal is to continue to do both kids' albums and to start a Project Life family album. I plan to just do a 2-page layout for each month of the year for the family album. I am really loving the look and simplicity of doing Project Life so I want to give it a chance.

If you have any questions on anything I used for my layouts just comment or email me.

December Daily 2014 {Part 3}

I finally finished up all our December Daily pages and I am so happy with how it all turned out and can't wait to have in book-form in my hands! I also did some beautiful double and single page layouts for the kid's annual books that I will share at a later time. For now, here is the rest of the pages.

We still have one more Christmas to do with my side of the family but that will be this Saturday. We had to wait for my sister (who is in her residency) to get to be off and for my Uncle (who is battling cancer) to get a break from his treatments. I am once again reminded that Christmas is about being with your family near and far and enjoying their presence and not about the presents.

I hope you had a wonderful Christmas too!

From Our Home To Yours...

MERRY CHRISTMAS AND HAPPY NEW YEAR!

LOVE,

THE CHEATHAMS

December Daily 2014 {Part 2}

Here are some more of my December Daily pages for our album. I have enjoyed doing these quick and simple pages. I am all caught up as of today! I hope I can stay on top of it this week!

December Daily 2014 {Part 1}

I decided to give the concept of a December Daily a try this year. The idea is to take a picture each day and scrapbook it into an album for the whole month of December. I knew I would need a good template to use and some easy digital products. I did my research right before December started and found what I thought would work best for me. So far it's going great and I've been able to keep myself caught up with minimal time and effort. We are about halfway through the month so I thought I'd share my pages so far.

Christmas Home Tour

Merry Christmas to you!! So glad you stopped by to take a peak at our home decorated for this magical season. I have 95% of the decorations done and just need to add some outdoor stuff. It's nice to start out the busiest month of the year with the bulk of the decorating done so you can enjoy all the activities and fun of the season!

I am linking-up with Andrea at Momfessionals blog to share my decor.

First up is the big, family Christmas tree in our living room. It's big and bulky and there is not a lot of room for tall stuff under it but we love it! This year I changed it up quite a bit but still used a lot of things I already had. I made some embroidery hoop ornaments, added a Santa hat, and made some chalkboard prints framed in red. Everything else is what I already had on hand. 

I got my inspiration for this year's tree from the Pottery Barn catalog. I think I got pretty close! I even had some letters done up in glitter but I just didn't have room for them. Maybe next year!

I spray painted an old frame and added a free printable. I have a ledge on either side of our big picture window in our living room. I love to change them out each season.

Stockings hung on the hutch because we don't have a fireplace mantel. Maybe one day we will! :) I still need to get Daddy's embroidered.

A few seasonal touches in the office.

The top portion of the hutch all decorated.

These cute, primitive trees are from Hobby Lobby (50% off boo ya!)

My big project last week was getting our first Christmas countdown finished. This baby is 5 feet long and so we hung it in our long hallway in the middle of our house. I haven't gotten all the items for each day but I have most of them. I got this idea from Thrifty Decor Chick (and PB).

Last year, after Christmas, I snagged some awesome deals on small trees, small ornaments and tiny tree skirts. The trees were just $10. I got the skirts and ornaments at Target. This one is in Jonah's room. He calls it a Santa tree.

Here is Haley's girly tree with the colors of her room.

Thank you for stopping by my little space and I hope you have the merriest of Christmases!!
