Way back when...

..when I was 9, I took my first trip out on a salmon charter boat in Westport, WA.  I remember feeling sick most of the trip, but still having a fun time.  I enjoyed the casting, the reeling, and even the waiting, but I didn't enjoy the part where they hit the fish over the head!

Fishing!

Last summer my son went fishing with his pal & his pal's dad ... my son LOVED fishing and being outside in the reservoir at the base of Pikes Peak, however my son did not care to actually eat the fish they caught!

This photo was perfect for SSM's new The Sport is ... Fishing paper!  I combined it with Sports Head On Fishing paper and On the Edge Sports - Fishing paper, these papers went together so easy!

Supplies used:

Sports Head On - Racing paper #1329

Sports Head On - Fishing paper #1323

On the Edge Sports - Fishing paper #1309

The Sport is - Fishing paper #1342

Thanks for stopping by!

Papa's Fishing Buddy

When my parents lived on the lake, my kids LOVED to go fishing with my dad.  I have so many photos from that time, that I am now getting around to scrapping, thanks to Scrappin' Sports & More!  I used the new Fishing/Hunting paper from the new line called "The Sport is..."  The plaid background is from the "Sports Head On" line's Fishing paper.  I cut the bobbers out from the Fishing paper in the "On the Edge Sports" line and added some baker's twine to pull it all together.  Isn't it fantastic how all of the different lines work together?!

Products Used:
#1309- On the Edge Sports: Fishing
#1323- Sports Head On: Fishing
# 1342- The Sport is: Hunting/Fishing

And the previews keep coming...

Can I just say, it has been SO MUCH FUN to work with the new lines of paper!!!  They go well with the other lines of paper and even some of the custom papers!!  So here's a look at a couple of layouts that I finished up.  (If you want to see a closer look...come see us at CHA Winter in Los Angeles!!)

Did I mention, as always, the papers are TWO SIDED?  (as seen on the Glow Golf layout)  So you get more bang for the buck!!  Who doesn't love that??  Stay tuned all this week to see more great ideas using the new "The Sport Is..." line!!  You'll be glad you did!!

It's THAT time of year!!

It's the time of year when we get to start sharing some peeks of our new lines coming out this winter!  This new line is VERY exciting!  It's called "The Sport is..." and there are TONS of sports and activites represented in this line!  Today, I'm going to show you the FISHING paper.  The Red, White and Blue is so easy to work with and coordinates well with Scrappin' Sports & More's other fishing papers. On the back side of the paper is a hunting design.  So fun!

Here Fishy, Fishy!

 This is one of my favorite photos of my little man.  He was about three years old and when my parents lived on a lake, he LOVED to go fishing with his Papa.  When I saw the Fishing paper in the new Sports Head On line, I knew just the photo I needed to use it with!  I used the back side of the papers for the blue background and then cut the bobbers out for the perfect accent to the page!

"Exploring" SS&M's Custom Papers!!

Last summer, we went on a bike ride turned hike!  On our ride, we saw this great path that went into the woods.  So, feeling adventurous, we parked our bikes and headed on down the path.  We hiked until the path ended at a river where we rested and enjoyed some wild blueberries for a snack!  All of this fun will be remembered always thanks to the Custom Paper I created!

Products Used:
#999- Custom Leather Grain 2
#1016- Hooked

More Layouts from CHA new releases

I just love this time of the year when all the new products are hitting the market at CHA.  One of the things I like best about being on the DT is getting to work with the newest product hot off the presses!!  Below are a couple of layouts that will be in the Scrappin' Sports & More Booth 2988.  The first two layouts use the new On the Edge Sports line.  I just fell in love with the little campers & the fish paper.  The fishing paper is a perfect match for swimming paper from the Game Day line too (stripped paper).  A few circles to mimic the bubbles in the water & some wire for the finishing line and hooks and the layout practically made itself.  This is just one of the reasons I love this product, you don't need a lot of extras to make a nice looking page.

Next up is my camping layout, Smore Great Moments.  Again, I keep things pretty simple and let the wonderful new paper speak for itself.

Last up is a layout I created using the new Down on the Farm line.  My daughter loves everything about horses, so this paper was a perfect fit.  This was her first official ride on a horse, not walking in a circle at the fair.
