1. Grand Budapest Hotel Graphics I really don't know much about this movie but without even seeing the film, I'm already loving the graphic design! Since the entire world is fictional, a design team came in to design EVERYTHING. The film's lead graphic designer, Annie Atkins, said: This film was particularly fun, I think, from a graphics point of view, because we were creating this entirely fictional country that Wes had written - the State of Zubrowka. It meant that every little detail had to be made from scratch - flags, banknotes, postage stamps, everything. Now that sounds like fun! See so much more here on Graphic Exchange. 2. Brittney Lee's Wedding Invitations After finally seeing Frozen, my love of Brittney Lee (previously posted about here), the movie's visual development artist, has exploded! Not sure why I wasn't before, but I am now following her blog and have found her wedding invitations. How unique are these? Seriously loving the color combination and the whole pop-up package! 3. Disney's March Magic Teams I love when my passions overlap

Another great gift idea for the bride to be is a scrapbook of letters from all her girlfriends, bridesmaids, and close family members. See yesterday's post on another gift for brides, a scrapbook of all the wedding events! My friend Amie actually pinned this relatively early in the wedding planning process so I kept it in mind for later. About a month before the wedding I sent messages to about 20 people, from her close girlfriends to her family, including her brother and nephew. And then I saved the best for last with a letter from the groom. A few days before the wedding I snapped a few photos of the pages that I had completed for some of the letters—hope you like them! If you'd like to make your friend a letter scrapbook as well, here's a sample of the note I sent to everyone requesting for their participation: I'm planning on making a scrapbook to give [the bride] at the rehearsal dinner filled with letters from the women closest in [bride]'s life! You can just give me a letter or you can actually make one page [size] for the bride. Your page can include anything

Creating a scrapbook of all the bridal events for the year is a great keepsake and gift for a bride! A couple years ago, I started up a scrapbook whirlwind by making 2 books for my girlfriends that were getting married in 2012. I started way too late into the year though and didn't have nearly the arsenal of scrapbook tools that I do now! So for Amie's book, from this past year's wedding celebrations, ended up being triple layered in stickers and all sorts of embellishments! Plus I started it right away and did one page/event at a time—which allowed for my creative juices to really flow through each page. So I just wanted to share a few of my favorite pages from these books and at the end of the post there are some tips if you find yourself making one for yourself or for a friend! For another gift idea, see my post on a scrapbook of letters for the bride! First up, Lauren's scrapbook: This was my first ever scrapped page

1. The Progression of Storytelling Really enjoyed this short video found on Brave the Woods! Joe Sabia has great storytelling skills—all using his iPad to supply the visuals. Just watching made me so excited to create and read and learn and share! Hope you enjoy it as much as I did or at least I hope it brings a smile to your face this Friday morning! 2. Once in A Lullaby Adorable poster by The Heads of State (and congrats on the new site!)
