Missy and Cassie Mini Album!

I had tons of pictures of the two of my cats and didn't know where to even start with them, so I decided to make a mini album for the pictures of my two cats together. I love this little album! I kept everything pretty simple, and used the same patterned paper for the box and the front page of the album. On the rest of the pages (the photo pages) I used Inkadinkado Cats stamps- VersaMark "Meow" on cream paper, light brown chalk ink paws on the pink photo background, and a grey chalk ink cat on the page. Finished it up with some black ribbon and some grey chalk ink around all the edges, and voila! Super cute little cat album!

The Letter A

I just love covering paper mache with adorable scrapbook paper, so when I saw this letter A half off at Hobby Lobby (it was only a buck!) I just had to get it! So, I covered it with Basic Grey paper, added some ribbon, and voila...an adorable A for my scrapbook desk!

SUPPLIES: Letter A- Hobby Lobby, Paper- Basic Grey, Ribbon- Michael's, Ink (for edges)- My Mind's Eye

Isn't this little alien just adorable!?! I love his peace sign, and what a goofy expression!


SUPPLIES: Alien stamp- Stampabilities, Word Stamps- KI Memories, Cardstock- DCWV, and I don't know who made the patterned paper! Sorry!

Some more Stamptoberfest challenges...


A card I made for Zack...and it fit into the Use 3 things challenge (ribbon, stamp, and patterned paper!)

And these were the first "fat book" pages I made! I love these!

Second fat book page!

Some of the cards I made for Stamptoberfest...

...over at Two Peas in a Bucket. Stamptoberfest runs 10/3 to 10/12, and I love all the challenges. It's making me think a little outside the box. So, here are some of the halloween cards I made. I'm usually not one to celebrate much of halloween (since it is only Zack and I), but I loved these little stamps! They are from House Mouse. So cute!

Welcome Home LO

Hi everyone! So I got a few layouts done despite my scrapbooker's block! I am still catching up on all the photos from our move to Iowa and even previous to that (I used to always be on top of my photos, but they have really piled up!)

This is one of those Layouts I did where at first I was kind of like "Eh..." but then I started doodling the Iowa words on the first page and made the "Home" part of the title and now I love it!

I also got a page done on our new apartment in Cedar Rapids. I just love the Home Bingo Card by Jenni Bowlin Studios. So cute!

Not feeling very inspired...

You know those days when nothing seems to work? I'm having one of them! I tried using the new glue pad and glitter I bought, and for the life of me, cannot get it to work the way I think it should! It shouldn't be that difficult, should it? Well, I am going to keep plugging away and try to get inspired. This is one of those days that a trip to Hobby Lobby might just help my scrapbooking uninspiration!

WOW!

A few days ago I entered my first scrapbook related contest on Hero Arts, and the challenge was to create a holiday gift with at least one Hero Arts stamp. I didn't win one of the prizes, but I won on the Honorable Mentions!!!! Yay! (Although I still wished I would have won, but it got me to challenge myself!) So, if you want to see, it is the second honorable mention...you'll see my name (aheuring) on it. Here is the link!!!! (And Mom, if you go there, make sure Hannah isn't in the room!)
