New layouts!

Since Feeling Scrappy's Sketchapalooza is officially over, (which is very sad by the way!!!!) I can share some layouts. Here's just one layout from class. It's probably my favorite that I finished (I completed 17 layouts!)




And I was feeling a bit scrappy today so I completed this layout with a bit of grunge.

Halloween

Wow...I have a ton of pictures from family visits and vacation to share but I still need to go through them all. Here's a quick photo from Halloween for now. I will post more photos when i get a chance. Joshua wanted to be a pirate and Abby was a baby chick. Joshua found this witches hat at the store and wanted me to wear it so I went along. It definitely makes Halloween more fun when you dress up!
