I have created year-in-review calendars as Christmas gifts (grandparents and great-grandparents) since 2006. They have become a tradition and I'm always happy that I did them in the end ... even though the process is often stressful. Sometimes I do paper scrapping and sometimes I do digi scrapping ... this year I did digital!

I had the hardest time deciding on a design for this year. My husband is a fan of lots and lots of photos and I wanted something more 'designed' and artistic. I can't help it, but I want to show off and I wanted it to be better than something from a photo-print place template ... oh my.

Anyway, I finally decided on a common theme and powered through to get these done!
