Here's my Halloween She Art Cutie, Boolinda.  Hope you enjoy.

HAUNTED HOUSE - A RAINY DAY PROJECT

This was my rainy day project, a halloween haunted house. It's a paper mache house from Hobby Lobby that I cut down the middle to allow it to open up and then decorated it Halloween a la Ya Ya style.

You can use it strictly as decoration and as a mini album. Each of the pages is also a pocket. It can hold 16 photos. That's a lot of real estate my friends. If you add pockets on each side of the pages with tags you can increase the photo count to 24.

I hope you enjoyed my rainy day project.

SHE ART COMES TO WESTLAKE

Scrapbooking has brought me to many places and now it's brought me to "She Art." This mixed media craft is really too cute to ignore. Thank you Miss Nola for bringing this craft to the Ya Yas.

A LOUISIANA DELEGATION

Here's scrapbooking 101. A group of photos that tell a story, simply matted, a few cricut cutouts related to the photos, a title and background paper that doesn't distract from the photos.

MAY SCRAPENO - MOM'S EMPTY NEST

This month is a tribute to the moms currently experiences an empty nest for the first time like me. Well, it's been almost a year and a half but I can now write and scrap about it without getting teary eyed.

Well, let's face it, you could change this to a baby's layout, a girly layout, teens, spring, Easter....you get the picture.

ADVENTURES IN SCRAP

Any time I can get away and scrap with my friends is an "adventure in scrap." This week Karen and I, the original Gypsy Ya Yas, were off to Scott to the Ladybug Lodge for a three day slumber party. I absolute love cropping at the Ladybug. These ladies have played such a role in my scrapbook experience over the past two years. They inspire me to go beyond my comfort zone and create not only scrapbook pages, but pages that reflect my spirit.

HWY 61 BLUES MUSEUM

Here's another treasure found while traveling for work, the Hwy. 61 Blues Museum. The museum did not really have a lot of items. What it had was charm and character and a very interesting blues muscian who sang for me the entire time I was visiting. His father was actually someone very important to blues and he was doing what he could to keep his father's memory alive. It's an experience I feel fortunate to have.
