Scrappy Doos or Scrappy Don'ts?

Last night Libby was sick and up a lot so I was able to get a new look on my blog (not that anyone saw the old one) but I am starting to figure it out, and it is kinda fun.  I need to do something more on the sides, but right now the stripes are busy enough, next time I will go with a solid or mostly solid.  I also got another layout done.  This one I used a picture of a grizzly bear I took at Bear Country USA outside of Rapid City, SD over the summer. I use Sarah Meyer's kit Treasured Memories and her It's Puzzling Frames and Clipping Masks.  TFL
