Hi!

I have some more 6x6 layouts to share with you today for my Basic Grey Cupcake scrapbook. I love this size of scrapbooking because all it requires is a photo and an embellishment. I rarely journal on this size pages because there isn't much room and the photos are usually all from the same time frame or theme, so they aren't really necessary.

The first layout is from a trip last spring to Chicago...

It was cold and windy that day but very bright out. When I saw this photo from the trip that Brad took, I thought how cute it would be to have Gina's Seagull stamp sit on the stone ledge looking over the water for some lunch...

I stamped all the images on these pages in black Memento ink and colored with Copics. I used a variety of colored stickles to decorate them as well. Googlie eyes finished them off for me!

Here's a close up of the embellishment for the second layout...

This second layout's photo is from our Mississippi River Boat ride this past summer. The weather was perfect and the clouds really helped me to get some great photos. This is one of my favorite photos of Brad and Ashley together. Do you notice who's 'looking' for eagles through the binoculars?

Did you also notice that in each photo Ashley has a stuffed animal? She is OBSESSED with stuffed animals right now and has been for years. I love that these little photos show off that fact too.

If you're in the mood for some scrapbooking, come and join in on my Splitcoast Challenge for VSBN that runs until Sunday, February 8th. My challenge is to scrapbook your summer photos and use stamps on your pages. When you upload your page, be sure to add the keyword JAN09VSBNP so it can be entered to win a free GinaK Designs stamp valued at 19.95 or less.
