Sometimes I find it very hard to create a page that comes with a cute printed design (such as above with the frogs). The best solution is finding one picture and making a border for the picture and then add a few words. That way you are not loosing the design of the paper. I used the cricut to create the words.

Christmas 2009
A great tip is to use cut out chunks of decorative paper and glue it on a solid 12 x 12 paper. In addition, put another solid border around your pictures. My good friend Maggie also suggested other good tips when thinking about taking pictures of Christmas.
-Decorating the tree
Hanging up stockings
Selecting a tree
-Decorating the house
-Addressing and mailing cards
-Outdoor decorations (yours and neighbors)
-Wrapping gifts
-Make all the special Christmas goodies
-The table-before everyone sits down to eat
-Cookies and milk waiting for Santa
-Children asleep
-The living room on Christmas morning & after the gifts are open
-Guest who visit or attend your holiday parties
Another good way to get photos you might not usually get would be to give each of the members of the family a disposable camera the day after Thanksgiving. Instruct them to take photos of their favorite things about Christmas or things that make Christmas special to them

Murder Mystery Dinner Page
This is one page from the Murder Mystery Dinner from my Gatlinburg vacation. I liked that I inked my own fingerprints on to the page. I also drew question marks on the plain red stripe. Keep in mind to take pictures of details, like my brother's name badge "Brian O'Flanagan" when he was part of the show & also the ticket stub

Scenery on hikes
When on vacation or just taking a nice stroll on a walk, don't forget to take pictures of the scenery to display on your pages. Cropping into smaller pictures is a nice touch for layouts.
