This is my catch-all/collage page for December 2009. I usually do a page for each month with all the odds and ends that don't fit into any other lo's. For 2009, I'm also including each month's birthstone, flower, and astrological signs just for fun. My January through November LO's are in my gallery (2009 Album & Month LO's in 'albums'), where you can also see the themes I used/am using for 2006, 2007, 2008, 2010, and 2013.

I chose the blue base of this LO for the December birthstone - Blue Zircon. I stamped and heat embossed the border and the Prima calendar stamp, which is on vellum. The December flower is Holly. I used a quilled one I've had in my stash for years. The gems and brads are all Blue Zircon colored. The scalloped circle names the book I read that month as part of my project to read the 100 Greatest Books Ever Written: The Red and the Black by Stendhal. The thank you note is from Cassie's teacher. I used it to make a pocket for a tag with some info from the month. I made another pocket behind the strip of matting under the column of photos to hold another thank you note - it's the scalloped piece you see sticking out. The photos are of Abby in a new sweatshirt - she's hates clothes lol - a candle I love at Christmas time, my dd with 2 of my bff's kids when she and I had a sleep over there, and a photo of 2 of my Christmas ornaments that I used for a mini challenge in POD that month. The paper in the middle is a print out of the email my dd sent me when she got her first laptop and her first email account.
