Is it Sunday yet?

Panic set in a few days ago when I realized that Father's Day is this Sunday. Oops. So, I didn't have enough time to order a nicely bound photo album and have it arrive in time but I ended up making something just as nice and it is all thanks to Emily Powers (thanks girl!!). When I saw her 2008 desk calendar I had one of those a-ha "That's it!" moments. If you haven't seen it yet, I urge you to run to her blog, lickety-split, to check out her gorgeous designs and photography. Emily used a Martha Stewart clip-art calendar (from the now defunct Blueprint Magazine) and designed her own canvas so she could include photos. Is she brilliant or what?

Here are my June-December pages. I didn't want to mess with perfection so I followed Emily's layout design to the T. :)

Is it Sunday yet? I can't wait to give Eric his Father's Day Gift and then we're off to my parents for a good ol' fashioned BBQ.
