Wow, thanks for sharing all of the crazy 8's with us blog-friends!

I love the blog list on the sidebar. Didn't know you could do that until I saw yours. Managed to figure it out myself for ours. Curious if you had us listed anywhere as one of your China travel companions? I couldn't find it on the list.

Hope you are all enjoying this holiday season with AA.

Thanks for the tag. It looks like fun. I'm not the best at getting these done, but I'll try...

I bet you are just going to have the best Christmas! Oh, isn't it great to live things all again through a child's eyes? And AA's first Christmas... HOW FUN!!

I hope you have a very, Merry Christmas!!

Love,
Michelle

p.s. Regarding your question, I use Serif PagePlus X2 for collages, which is the same software I use to digital scrapbook. There isn't a template, so I create my own. I like the flexibilty of doing the sizes I like and cropping how I want to.
