Our Life: 2012 - The Album

I finally finished the 2012 album I have been working on for about a year. I really want to make a Project Life weekly album but we all know that isn't going to happen. Take a look and let me know if you see any problems or have any additional ideas of things to add. I plan to purchase it tomorrow (I have a 50% coupon from Shutterfly). You should join...easy peasy to make (quality) stuff and they send great coupons pretty often.
