Back to scrappy things

Well it has been way too long since I have had an all night scrapapalooza at my house.

So with a new box of My Little Shoebox goodies and no long run to worry about in the morning, I scrapped until my heart's content last night.

The one problem when I do this is that I end up doing alot of the same things on all my layouts.

You will note these trends on these projects: kraft paper, brads, & typed strip journaling (of course, this is kind of all my layouts these days. ha!).

So I got the new Wonderful line from My Little Shoebox to work with for CHA.

(but I got blue glitter alphas instead of the pink ones pictured here.)________________________________________________________________

And here is some stuff I made during my all night scrapapalooza.

These little kiddos belong to a friend that I work with.

She lets me borrow her kids.

I get to practice using my camera.

She gets an occasional good picture.

It is a good trade and they make for cute layouts.

Here is a simple little journal.

I cut chipboard with an Accucut die to make the cover for the journal and then covered it with patterned paper.

I cut unlined paper to fit the inside (bc I can never find unlined journals!), then punched holes through the cover & pages, & added binder rings.

I dug through the ole stash to find some eyelets to make a little closure on the tabs on the side.

And a couple of quick cards:

And more layouts.

This is Lee & I on our anniversary trip to Gatlinburg.

Yeah, yeah, the title + journaling is a bit cheesey but I couldn't resist!

Note to self: scarves are not friendly on the ole double chin.

Awwww, it's Katie and I.

I've still got 1 more layout in the works but I finally ran out of creative juices in the wee hours of the morning and had to call it a night.

Check out the My Little Shoebox blog for more projects with the other new lines by the rest of the design team.

I think you will like what you see!
