Back to the scrappiness

I think I have recovered from my lack of sleep.
But I have this dang cold thing {not swine flu} thing that keeps lingering.

I think my sleep-deprived night got things stirred up again.

Dang!
Anywhooooo, back to scrappy-related things.
I have a few My Little Shoebox layouts to share.
{and be sure to check out the blog to see what everyone else has been making this month}

All my layouts are from the new Whoo Love you line.

This is a picture from last summer that I have been meaning to scrap but never could find the best papers to use.

Until now.

{and yeah, yeah you are welcome for the shirtless photo}

I had 2 things in mind when I made this next layout.
One thing was to get away from my 2-page layouts where I just line up the pictures in a row and decorate around them.
Accomplished.
And the second thing was that I really wanted to make this big, fun birthday cake!
They had the most fabulous cake at the crop {it was a fun green, not pink though} and I forgot to take a picture of it.

So I decided to make my own instead!
{if you notice, my cake isn't edible...it is best this way}

And this one is for Katie.
Some things, some memories just need to be scrapped.
You never know when you might need a good laugh later.


{please click on this layout & read the journaling so you don't think I am a total cheeseball for using that title}

Happy hump day!
