It's getting to be that crazy Holiday time of year again. Whether you stay home and cook (not me) or go to family and friends houses, take time to sit back and enjoy the people you are with. Take some photos of your family and of the food. When you get home, jot down some of the great stories that were shared. Print your photos out. We have a wonderful Photo Processor at the store. Put your notes with the photos so that when you scrap them you will know exactly what to include in your layout.
Thanksgiving Day
Photo Scraps will be closed on Thursday, November 25. We all wish you a wonderful day of family, friendships, relaxation....and the best of all -- good food!
We received 5 new magazines in today. Lots of great inspiration to kick start your creativity.

I never knew Basic Grey's Jovial line was so card friendly. Thank goodness Laura did! I really love her roses that were created with the Sizzix 3D flower die. For that added shine, Laura painted on her Glossy Accents.
Laura created this card from Jennifer McGuire's Thinking and Inking free class on 2 Peas in a Bucket. To find the releated links and cards. Check out Jen McGuire's Blog.
You may recognize the card on the right from our Wacky Wednesday. I just used a different border punch. Luckily we have our customers to inspire us.
