Wonderful Keepsake

The card day girls and i don't give each other Christmas presents but in stead earlier in the year we pull three months out the the hat each and we make 4 pages for each month and at our Christmas breakup (today) we swap the pages so we end up with a complete calender each and this is the result of the finished masterpiece.
