Each year for the last seven, I think, I have helped put together a family calendar for Louis' side. I love these. Each month is assigned to a sibling and they make a page all about them and their families. The extra months have various themes depending on what has gone on during the course of the year. The best part is once it's all put together, sitting down and looking through it. It's one of the things I look forward to each Christmas. The last few years I have delegated the making of my own family page to other more experienced digital scrappers. I lack know-how and correct software to say nothing of creative juice that seems to always be out of stock. I love the pages people have come up with on my behalf. Most recently I have burdened my friend, Amber with the responsibility of choosing a theme, pictures and design. She always does a superb job. Always. I do tend to feel a lot of guilt, though. She is so good at what she does, but she is also meticulous and so I know that even though she could do something super amazing in about five seconds that would leave me oohing and aahing for years, she refuses to send off anything of such low caliber. Instead she will pore over an assignment for days or weeks (or longer if I'm ever courteous enough to give that much notice, which I'm not.)
Needless to say, when I realized I was one page short on the calendar this year, I wanted so badly to turn the assignment over to my more-than-able friend, but knowing that she already expended so much time and juice on my own page, I went to extreme measures. I made a digitally scrapped page. NO, really I did. And I like it. So, for your viewing pleasure, because let's face it, I don't know if you'll be lucky enough to wander by my house in the next week or two and have the honor of letting me show off my entire calendar to you. And really, I do show it everyone who chances by. Everyone.
Are you dying to know where I got such cute stuff? Elise Hansen of Elise's Pieces. Isn't she amazing? Her stuff is available at DigiChick. Check her out!
Oh, and because the question has been asked,
No, I did NOT set fire to the Provo Tabernacle. Yes, I have a rock-solid alibi.

Very cute calendar page...so proud of you!
I can see how after your last post you may become a suspect in the Provo Tabernacle burning. Actually, you're just lucky it wasn't the Logan Tabernacle. That really would have been bad. :) Many a stake conference I attended in that Provo Tabernacle....luckily only when I was single. Would be a nightmare with kids.
Haha... tooting..
Good job Camille. I am glad you have an alibi because the Provo Tab is worse than the Logan one.
I love It! Really Cute!
Super cute!
haha, that is pretty suspicious!!
I do love the page. I saw on facebook the one of your family and it was adorable, it now makes sense what it is for!
shout out to elise! and to you too! nice job. i don't even have a CLUE how to digi scrap. i should learn.
CUTE! you did awesome for your first time!! You say such nice things about me - really my head is swelling! Don't feel guilty though - you know I'd do anything for you! i had lots of fun putting it together. take a picture of the calendar so I can see how it turned out :)
I definitely liked what I saw at DigiChick - now I'm gonna have to add that to my addiction. Have you checked out Shabby Princess? My mom gave me a gift certificate for them for my birthday and I spent it all right away! can't wait to get photoshop up and running on my laptop so I can scrapbook every night!
