three on thursday

1. Have you seen this yet?

It is truly inspirational! TONS of fabulous holiday card and gift ideas. If you’re looking to make some handmade goodies this year, you really should check this out. And if you do check it out, turn to page 44 where you’ll find this little Jillibean creation

2. Thought I’d share a few layouts that you’ll find on the Bean Talk blog today. The first is some photos of my girls getting off the bus on the first day of school (last year). They were definitely All Smiles…thus the title. =) (Visit the Jillibean blog for full credits.) This was my first try at using 6×6 photos, and I really like the way it turned out.

This one is also a Write.Click.Scrapbook. layout. I used all the photos I had of our homes over the years. Three out of 6 (at the time) isn’t too bad. I enjoyed cutting out the birdhouses on the Head of Cabbage paper to make the borders–fun! (Visit the Jillibean blog for full credits.)

3. We just got back from a week in Shanghai, China this evening. What an amazing experience!! I’m so tired–been up for more than 24 hours, so I’m going to bed. I’ll be sure and post some photos soon!
