Little Cheerleader

Last week I decided to do some spring cleaning. While purging items that hadn't been touched in my craft closet since I had closed my daycare (over 2 years ago), I found a drawer full of sports photos of my girls from when they were little.  This one is of Kass in 2002.  What a find!


Kass is no longer that cute little cheerleader.  She is now 19, a freshman in college.  She hung up her poms in 6th grade for soccer cleats and a swimsuit.  The picture in this layout reminds me of how much fun she had cheering with her little friends.  


I used SS&M papers to make the banners and tags.  Again, I used my square punch for the ends of and gave them a curl at the end for a little dimension.



To make the tags I cut out 2"x 4" strips of paper and snipped the top right corner off all five tags at one time.  Then I used the cut off piece to template the other side...I wanted them to be even.  I decided I didn't want the tags to be the same height, so I just placed them where I wanted and trimmed off the excess paper.  Little blue eyelets were added to match Kass' uniform.

Do you have any older sports photos of your children or even yourself?  I'd love to see them scrapped and on Scrappin' Sports & More Facebook Page.   Please do share!
