Yappy Scrappy Time!

I finally had some spare time to work on some scrapbook pages today.  These were mostly done before I sat down to add the finishing touches, but I was thrilled that I finally got them completed and into an album.

I've been mainly working on scrapping pics of our darling pup, Gracie, as those are the photos I actually have printed, and not sitting in digital form.  Plus, she's such a super-cute subject that it's a load of fun to scrap her pages.

Here's a page I did of 3 month old Gracie for a scrapbooking challenge.

Puppy Love!

For the challenge, I was required to use black cardstock for my base, punched shapes, a paper distressing technique of some nature, brads, Stickles and only two pictures.  Since I usually put several pics on a page, that last bit was quite a challenge for me.  I think it turned out really cute!

The next two pages were a layout I did for Gracie's 1st birthday including several pics of her "Yappy Birthday" pupcake. Don't worry; all of the ingredients were all-natural with no refined sugar, and we only gave it to her a little bit at a time since she is a tiny dog.

I was pretty pleased with the way it turned out.  I've been hoarding that wide cupcake ribbon for years with this exact layout in mind. I really like how the printed paper allowed the use of so many other colors for mats, stickers, letters, etc.

I've been in a huge scrapbooking block lately so it was good to get a few pages done.  I think I need to go back to scrapping my other love, Disney, as that topic tends to get the creative juices flowing a bit.  In the meantime, I'll probably continue working on some cards and things.  Of course, school starts in a couple of weeks so I'm not sure how much free time I'll have to do anything crafty.  I guess I'll just have to see where life takes me, as usual.  Wherever it is, it will have to be sufficient.

Keep it creative, y'all!
