    Wow, these are all great! I like the pop open box with the tree inside, and the lights in the jars and the sewing book and all those cards, it’s just great!

  6. October 14, 2011

    What a lot of great inspiration! Fabulous project, one and all. I have a hard time choosing just one and I sure want to “vote” for a lot of them. But I’d have to say my favorite is the layout done by Malinda Wilson! I am so going to have to scraplift this layout! Just love everything about it. I think the ribbons are used beautifully and blend well with the layout and don’t over power it. LOVE it!
