Update....

Ok. I finally got a new place ...back in Hawthorne. But it has hardwood floors! For now it will do. I am making it a point to try and finally design my own elements while creating wonderful pages for my Creative Teams and other designers. I found a really neat site to assist in questions. It's called ScrapKitChallenge. Check out the forum here.http://scrapkitchallenge.myfastforum.org ... I did some BBP for the co-owner Kathy. The designers there are really nice and helpful.

Ok. I didn't expect to finish my calender till friday but it's done. I totally love it. I printed them out and OMGosh they are too beautiful. Well I hope you like them I know I do. PERSONAL USE ONLY

Kits used to design these calenders are:

Jan, Feb, Mar - SgD Designs

April - The Scrappin Cop

May - HollyAnn

June - Gina Hubbard

July, Aug, Nov - Kim's Scrappin'

Sep, Oct, Dec - Inspired Design Studio

2009 Calenders - Jan, Feb, Mar 4x6 format

I wanted to share with all of you my current project.. I am making a couple of friends 4x6 calenders. First I create the calender page and then a matching 1 photo layout with photos from 2008. Then I head to CVS to print out the layouts. Next stop is the Dollar store to purchase 4x6 photo albums ...Insert the layouts into the album, and ribbon and other embellishments.. poof - a personalize calender.
