What to do when Irene blows into town?

What to do when there's a hurricane raging outside?  You scrap, of course!
I wanted to work on the PageMaps blog card sketch this month and I finally got time to sit down and do it.  Here's the sketch....


And here's my take on that sketch!  I used Basic Grey papers (Origin and Max & Whiskers) to make the card.  I love the earthy brown/gold/orange/blue shades of that paper line.  On the inside I put "Party Animal" and will give it to a co-worker for her birthday.  I hope she likes it!


I also had time to scrap some old pictures of Anna and BJ from long ago.  Since I love everything Basic Grey, I also used the Max & Whiskers papers for this.  The challenge was one from Back Porch Memories to use a grid on your layout.
Oh what to do now?  It's going to be 24 hours before Irene gets done with us.  I guess I can scrap some more until it's time to get dinner started... I hope all my friends and neighbors stay safe!
