We've got spirit, yes we do!

This is the last of my cheerleading layouts...this one, the "formal" shot I took of Jillian in the early fall.  This is for the first page of her Cheer Album, so no journaling on this one, just lots of SSM papers! A mix of Gymnastics (blue stars) Tennis (yellow stripes) and Cheer papers made for a quick and easy layout.  I added some "confetti" from the tennis papers for a fun look, too.  

This is my final post for Scrappin Sports, and I want to take this opportunity to thank the entire team here for a wonderful term! I've really enjoyed working with everyone and these great products!

Thank You Scrappin' Sports & More!

Today is my last post on the SS&M blog.  For the last year and a half I have had the pleasure of designing for Scrappin' Sports & More.  Behind the business are some absolutely fantasic people. They are supportive and kind and thoughtful.  Instead of designing something new today, I posting some my favorite projects I have designed for Scrappin' Sports & More.....

Thank you to everyone at Scrappin' Sports & More!!!!  It has been such a please to work for and with all of you!!

Sending you all lots of joyous thoughts for the holiday season,
Katie

Super Bowl Champs!

About a week ago, my son's football team finished up another undefeated season including a Super Bowl win!   My layout features several great SSM lines, which I always love to mix & match!  

This is my last post for SSM - I want to thank everyone at SSM for having me as part of their team these last few years, I have truly enjoyed being a part of this amazing family!!  I also want to thank SSM's fans and followers for making SSM such a success and if you were local to SSM, I hope you stocked up on goodies at their warehouse sale!

Scrolling through my blog posts here at SSM, I couldn't pick just a few favorites as so many important moments for my family are here on this blog - so if you have some time you can check out my SSM projects from the past few years. :)

First NFL game

Today my post is featuring my son Alex's first NFL football game.  He was lucky enough to get to see his Dallas Cowboys beat the Carolina Panthers earlier this year.  It was an amazing day for both Alex and Mark.  I found this sketch posted on Pinterest and knew it would be perfect for this layout. 

Here is the layout I came up with using the sketch.

The Cowboys paper was a custom paper that I had made a couple of years ago and was just waiting for the perfect layout to use it on.  

Have a wonderful week!!

Happy Thanksgiving!!!

Today in the US, we celebrate a day of thanks. Given that this is my last post for Scrappin Sports  More, I find it fitting that I give thanks to the many wonderful people that have made designing for this team an absolute pleasure. I know that I have made friendships that will continue long past this team and for that I am grateful!

I was looking back at all the projects I have created over the years and I thought I would highlight a few of my favorites...

Happy Thanksgiving!!

R.I.P.

Lily played her last game with her travel team, Red Thunder, two weeks ago.  She has played with the same team for the last five years, U10-U14.  While they have elluding the coveted state title, they can count on one teammate's hand how many in-season games they have lost and they have made it to state playoffs the last few years

As we pulled into Coach Christina's driveway for the end-of-season dinner we saw a lawn of crosses. Coach's family created a graveyard scene which also included fog and bagpipe music.  On each cross was the year, name of each team they beat, and the score of the game. It was an impressive 78 crosses A.K.A. wins on their lawn!

Football Play Off Time!

During the first grade, my son's football team started a tradition of getting mohawks when they made it to the play offs!  This year my son decided to go all out by adding his number and his team's W logo - I thought it turned out pretty cool!

I added some of SSM's backside patterns in my son's football team colors - black & red and I included a star for each year my son has played football and each year they made it to the play offs - so far six for six! :)

Football

When I got Alex's 8th grade professional football picture, I couldn't believe how old and muscular he looked!  When did my little boy grow up into a young man!!  I layered lots of Scrappin' Sports & More papers & stickers to create this bright fun layout.  I love that the focus is still Alex and the mountains in the background. 

Hope everyone has a wonderful day!

I Got This!

(Close Up Included) 

by Lynette Daniel, Owner of Scrap That Moment

Miss Hannah Gebhart was so serious playing Princeton Youth Soccer defense this year! She was a blast to shoot. Maybe she tried a little harder knowing I was on the sidelines just for her. ;) I loved this tongue in cheek picture it shows her determination and playfulness all wrapped up in one darling little girl. I was inspired to try something totally unique with the soccer paper, the idea was to get a mixed media look by using watercolors and paints. The trick was blending all the layers together with a chevron design. I mitered the "frame" corners to continue the motion of the page. I hand drew the title which I tried to mimmick a font called "Bring The Noize" that seems to have an attitude to match. Thanks for looking and appreciate your comments!

Gratitude

With the fast-paced world we live in, it is often hard to just stop and be grateful for all that we have. It is even harder, it seems, to take the time to let others in our lives know how much we appreciate them. In this world of social media, our fingers are constantly typing away, but as paper crafters, we know we can whip up a card in a matter of minutes. I challenge you, in this month where we celebrate Thanksgiving, to go a step further. Put that card in an envelope, stick a stamp on it and send it to someone you care about!!

Here is an example of one that I recently did...

Gym Fun!

My girls are not gymnasts, not by any stretch of the imagination, but several years ago, my youngest was able to enjoy a birthday party that was held at a local children's gym.  She absolutely loved flying on the trapeeze...and did it over and over again!

I used my new Silhouette Cameo on this page to cut the balloons and the title.  The Scrappin Sports papers worked SO well in the cutter!  I can definitely see myself using it over and over again with these papers!

Football MVP

During a 2-week pre-season football camp my son received a certificate of recognition from the coaches at the camp - he was beyond thrilled to be honored and we are beyond proud!

His award was for "COACHES AWARD FOR RESPECT TOUGHNESS".   He has always played extremely tough so it was great he was recognized for it and hopefully it encourages him to keep playing tough!

Kick

I know I have said it before but I really love how easy it is to mix and match all of the Scrappin' Sports & More papers.  On this layout I used 6 different papers and 1 set of cardstock stickers.  I love the look of the chevron with the stars and the colors were perfectly matched to my daughters soccer colors. 

I have done so many soccer layouts over the past 12 years and I love how Scrappin' Sports & More papers keeps them looking fresh and new!

Here is what I came up with....

Scrappin' Sports & More Product Used:
#1431 Sports & Activities - Wrestling (red chevron)
#1395 Girls Rule - Tennis (yellow)
#1384 Title Sports - Wrestling (background grey stars)
#1379 Title Sports - Soccer (both green papers)
#1349 The Sport Is - Soccer (soccer balls)
#5541 Name of the Game - Soccer (soccer balls cardstock stickers)

Thanks for stopping by!  Having a wonderful week.

Altered Antique Clock

One of my best friends, Tina Gebhart is a GREAT mom. She works all day then comes home to 4 kids and all their activities and she still finds time to coach her daughter's city league soccer team. She's been my bleacher buddy at our son's football games for the past 4 seasons. For Tina's birthday, I wanted to make her something different. The area that we live (Princeton, IL) in is known for antiques and flea markets. I picked up this wood mantel clock that had seen better days. I call this piece "Time with Hannah." I did a photo shoot of her daughter a couple weeks ago and got a darling shot of her playing goalie looking down field waiting for the ball to dare to come near her. I used the Sports & Activities Soccer paper line on the front face and designed "grass" out of cardstock. I love using scrapbook papers for home decor and I especially liked spoiling Tina by capturing a memory of her little angel in "time." Thanks for your comments, I really do appreciate your feedback.

All my best, Lynette Daniel

An invitation...

to have some fun with your scraps!! I love to go through my scraps from time to time just to challenge myself and see what I can create. So many times I come across papers that I had forgotten I still had and my mojo is kicked into high gear!

So here is a party invitation that I came up with using my scraps...

This was just a reminder of how many different colors and patterns of paper there are in the Scrappin Sports & More lines!!

What will you do with your scraps?
