The One with May American Crafts Layouts

I took a break from scrapping last month, but now I'm back and loving it. Here are the two layouts I made for my monthly American Crafts assignment:Twenty Five & Twenty WeeksTips: I watched Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone while making this layout. I have a lot of projects to work on today, so I like watching long movies that are in a series so I don't have to think about what to put in next....

The One with a Dog Named Joey

We have a dog. I guess technically he is still a puppy. He's 8.5 months old. His name is Joey. And he is a handful. But I've decided he's second-in-line to our most high maintenance pet - that crown belongs to our conure, King Jadis. But back to Joey. This is what he's been up to lately:SheddingThat ain't snow. That's Joey's fur. He's "blowing" his winter coat. It makes quite the mess.ShreddingJoey's...
