Back to school...

One of the challenges that I face with kids in school is what to do with all their artwork, papers, etc.  Sometimes, I scan them, sometimes I take pictures of them...and sometimes, I just use them on the page itself like I did here.  Since Scrappin Sports and More came out with this AWESOME calendar line, it makes it easy to do a month by month recount of all the fun activities my kids did while they were in school.  Now...if only I could get my kids to cooperate and let me sit next to them in class so I could take better pictures!  :)

Februrary Calendar Paper and Stickers

London In July

Today I'm sharing a page I created from our recent trip to London.  We are so fortunate to get to visit our family over there every other year.  This year was the kids first trip to London and even though they enjoyed the sites, they were happy not to have to ride the tube after the first 2 days.  Who would have thought it would be in the 90's in London!

I used the July calendar page as my main background for this layout.  I also used the Game Day Swimming (stripe) and the Mother paper from the Family Line (red).

Scrappin' Sports has Done it Again!

Scrappin' Sports has done it again!  They have created another fabulous sports line that will become a classic!  I love how fun the "B" side is -- perfect for every kind of background!

This paper line is perfect for any and all sports you can think of!

Sports Head On

Scrappin' Sports & More's new "Sports Head On" line is so fun to play with!  For today's Layouts, I used the baseball paper and the water paper.  The papers are so fun to use as is, or in the case of my baseball page, to cut the baseballs out! 

Thanks so much for stopping by today!

Calendars Made Easy Papers!

These new month themed papers by Scrappin' Sports & More are prefect for monthly recaps or capturing the theme of each month, be sure to check out the Calendars Made Easy Paper & Stickers!

My first layout features Calendars Made Easy - March paper.  I LOVE the patterned shamrocks!  I cut out a few shamrocks from another sheet of Calendars Made Easy - March paper and pop dotted them onto my background paper.

Journaling: green shirt / green socks / green eyes / green hair / you sure were in the St. Patrick's Day spirit!  2006

My second layout features the Calendars Made Easy - October paper.  I used the preprinted 'October' on the paper as my title and added a few die cut pumpkins and photos!  Super easy with these great papers!

Shootin' Hoops

On our recent vacation to Arkansas, our cousins had a trampoline with a basketball hoop.  This was a crowd favorite for my kids...and when I was taking pictures (because that is just what I do every second of their lives) it suddenly occurred to me how very perfect this new paper would be with this particuliar shot.  The Sports Head On Line brings the pattern down the middle...perfect for bringing photos like this to life!!  Add some real-life basketball cardstock stickers and pop dots and the page really comes to life!!

Thee is no Season such delight can bring.....

Happy Sunday Everyone :)  I hope everyone is having a wonderful start to the week.  Hopefully you are getting to spend some time with family or friends or maybe a good book. 

Here is a layout that I created using the new Calendar Line and the New Sports Head On Line (blue checked background).  This layout featured the August (yellow), October (orange), January (blue) and the April (green) calendar papers.  This line is wonderful and you can mix and match across months or in this case across seasons to create wonderful layouts.

More Calendar Fun!

Oh my --- I am in love with the new calendar line!  In fact, I couldn't help but create a 201o calendar even though the year is almost over!  It was so quick & easy!

Here is a peek at the inside:

In addition, just take a look at these fun cards:

How great would it be to create a whole set - one for every month - to give away as a Christmas gift?

Make sure you get your hands on some of this wonderful paper soon!

New Calendar Lines!

These new Scrappin' Sports & More Calendar line is so fun!  The designs on each page (front AND back) are really sweet and the colors are bright and cheery.  The front side of each paper includes the name of each  month and the back has just the design on it.  Since my daughter's birthday is coming right up, I wanted to show you the page I did of her using the August Calendar paper.  Aren't those suns just TOO CUTE?!

And, since we are all getting ready to think about that "back to school" business, let me share with you the layout I did using the back of the November Calendar Paper.  The fall colors matched the oak leaves that fill my yard every fall PERFECTLY!

You can see the whole set of calendar papers HERE.  And, you can be looking for these papers available for purchase very soon!

Have a great day!

T-Ball Fun

My twin great-nephews are in their 2nd season playing little league T-Ball.  During their last game of the season earlier this summer I got to snap a couple of pictures of them.  It was so much fun seeing the intensity in their faces and I knew they were having so much fun.  They are both such baseball fanatics and want to play catch or hit the ball around in the backyard every free moment.  I just love these 2 little guys.

This layout is based on a sketch by Susan Stringfellow (Sketch Savvy).  As soon as I saw the sketch, I knew it would be perfect to use with SS&M's newest sports line, Sports Head On! 

Thanks for looking

Sports Head On Papers!

The new Sports Head On line released by Scrappin' Sports & More at CHA just ROCKS my scrappin' world!  I love the big patterns and as well as the backside of the papers that have very cool patterns!


In my first layout 'target practice' I cut out the scopes from the Sports Head On - Hunting paper and used the back side camo design ... I am going to us a lot of this camo pattern since my son is totally into anything camo! I also used the back sides of the Sports Head On -  Music and Sports Head On - Wrestling papers.


Journaling:  You love target shooting with your BB gun. Jan 2010

I had a lot of fun with this second layout 'eXtreme golf'  I cut out the golf balls from two sheets of Sports Head On - Golf papers and pop dotted most of them to create an eye catching frame around my photo.  The 'X' in eXtreme was cut from the backside of Sports Head On - Golf paper.

Journaling:  two boys   /   an air soft gun   /   and a golf club   /    June 2010

Sketchy Inspiration...

Sometimes when the mojo is low a sketch is just what I need to get my going again.  With the wonderful world of blogs, there are so many places to choose from.  Sketchy Thursdays is a place I go a lot for inspiration and to play along.  When the sketch came out for 7/22 with a diagonal line through the middle, I INSTANTLY thought of our new "Sports Head On" line of papers.  So this is what I came up with from the sketch...

Now I have the perfect layout idea for some fun pictures of my nephew and son that were recently taken at the lake.  These new papers are inspiring by themselves, but add a great sketch and the combination is priceless!!

Utah is a gorgeous state!  I loved our visit to Arches National Park in the Spring 2009.

Everyday Faith

In this layout, I chose to use #903 Custom Fancy Solid in Teal, White & Black.  I think the scripted lettering is perfect for a special occasion like my daughter Confirmation. 

Sports Head On

From hitting The K-Zone to Being a Leader on the field, our new Sports Head On line of papers will be a hit when it comes to scrapping all of your sports related pictures. 

In both of these examples I used the sports ball design on the front side of the papers as primary accents on my pages while using the reverse side of the papers to add  a look of texture and dimension.  I love double sided paper and you are going to love this new line of papers.
