Hi Ladies (and a gent or two)! Jill here. Since the holidays are coming fast and furious, I hope to share more gift ideas, card ideas and project ideas with you in the next 6 weeks. Something I've been noticing on Pinterest is that everyone is pinning December Daily Albums. These have become sooo popular and correct me if I'm wrong, I think it all started with Ali Edwards. Anyhow, I have an Advent Calendar I want to share with you. With this Calendar, I plan on adding things to it to make it my December Daily. It's not your typical December Daily but I think it will work out great for keeping notes, adding a few photos and holding on to a trinket or two. Let me know what you think...
I used Canvas Corp 3x3 envelopes for the majority of the album. I added our new Kraft Coin envelopes and Bite Size Bits in between. I will put notes, candy and prayer verses in the envelopes for the Advent portion. Then when each day is done, I'll fill the envelope with notes from the day or a special treasure.
Sooooo, I have one kit to GIVEAWAY! This project includes a ton of Jillibean product: Christmas Eve Chowder papers, Corrugated Alphas, Christmas Eve Chowder Diecuts and Stickers, Christmas Eve Chowder Bite Size Bits, Kraft Coin envelopes, Co-branded Unity stamps, Ribbon, Jingle Bells and so much more!
What do you need to do? I would love to see more people sign up for our newsletter and e-mail blasts. If you haven't already, head on over to the Jillibean Home Page and sign up! I will be sending out instructions for this calendar in the next week, so make sure to sign up here! If you're already signed up, you can leave a comment here on the blog or sign up to follow us on Pinterest. Type in Jillibean Soup in the search bar and our account should come up or try clicking here. I'm loading old and new projects every day. If you do not have an account at Pinterest (a virtual bulletin board) - send me a note and I'll invite you!
Anyhow, 3 chances to enter - you can sign up at all 3 places (newsletter, comment on blog, Pinterest) if you want!
Good Luck! I'll pick a winner on Friday!
Have a great rest of the week!
I think this is a cute idea! I am wanting to do a december daily this year, but must admit I am a little intimidated...I like your idea!

This is so neat! I really really want to do an album of some sort this Dec. because our daughter is due to be born at the very beginning of the month, and I think that it would be a fabulous way to record Christmas and her first few weeks at the same time! But I have to admit that I've found the December Daily process intimidating to start. This kit is so cute and would be the perfect way to get going!!
P.S. I just signed up for the newsletter and I am going to follow you on Pinterest as soon as it lets me! ;-)
