Two More Scrapgal Projects

Why is it always so hard to get back to routine and catch up after a trip, no matter how small?! But here I am. Back to normal :) And glad to be back with the kids! So I am going to share my last two official projects for the month of October for Scrapgal.
The first is a layout. I find myself making more 8 1/2x11 layouts lately just for fun or personal to me topics! And this one was just for fun! All of the product is Little Yellow Bicycle from their Frightful line. Except for the Martha Stewart candy wrapper embellishment, the Making Memories letter stickers and the American Crafts Thickers.

And I don't typically make cards, but have decided to try to get in the habit again of making cards with my scraps after working on layouts. These two are definitely using my scraps. Especially those cool fabric border strips. I love those!
So there you have it for the month of October. I did three layouts and two cards in all. Plus a little matchbook mini that will be coming up in the next few weeks. But I'm not supposed to share that yet! :)

  1. Very cool....I too like the 8 1/2 x 11 for little personal layouts. Love the light in your room, especially for pictures. And soooo agree with catching up after a trip. Need a transition phase before reality.

  5. I've never scrapped 8.5 x 11, but I love this page...I might just have to try it :)

    Those cards are adorable, and what a great way to use your scraps up!

  6. I really struggle to make cards too. I think mainly because I'm not sure they are appreciated. and yes, I always have a tough time getting back in the groove after a trip

  8. How fun, loving the spiderweb in the corner of that layout and the clean and simple cards! Maybe I should try making some layouts with my scraps leftover from my cards? Haha! Can't wait to see that matchbook mini, you definitely have my curiosity piqued!

  9. Love your Halloween projects! Card making does not come automatically to me, either, I should make more while all my stuff is out!
