Things I love....

#1 on the list:  "The Sport Is...".  SS&M's newest paper release!

This line is not limited to just sports either!  Included in the new papers is the Homecoming/Prom double sided paper.  Here, I've used the Prom side of the paper - the writing is elegant and with it being in black and white, well, it will go with any color you'd like to add.  I used Umbrella Stripes and Tiles paper to add pops of color to this Prom layout of my kids from a couple of years ago.

Products used:
#1347 The Sport is Homecoming/Prom
#1164 Cards, Anyone
#1040 Defining Swimming
#1041 Umbrella Stripes and Tiles

AreYou Ready for some Football?

Luke is!  When Luke was 8 years old, he would carry around that football whereever he would go, always ready for someone to say, "wanna play catch?".  He's almost 11 now and doesn't carry it everywhere he goes anymore, but he's always ready to play some FOOTBALL!

Paper and Large Football Sticker - new sports release - Winter 2011!

We love hockey!!

And we really love our mascot, Icy D. Eagle!!  And with Scrappin Sports & More's Sports on Fire line, you can use the Playing the Game paper (item #1137) for nearly any sport.  It's fire on the front and words on the back!!

Indoor Soccer

I love the new double sided soccer paper from SS&M's The Sport Is line.  I combined it with the great soccer ball cardstock stickers from the Name of the Game line  to create the background for my page.  I finished it off with the soccer ball from the Name of the Game paper.  Love how these all coordinate together :)

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

Football Mascot!

When I arrived at my son's football game this past fall and saw one of his teammate's dogs wearing a team jersey I just had to get a shot of him!! 

This photo worked so well with so many of Scrappin' Sports & More's lines!!  I used the brand new line "The Sport is ..." with  "Classic Football" added in some "Down on the farm - dogs" and topped it off with some custom 'good dog' paper!  I love mixing & matching lines like this!

You make me so proud!

I have been so proud of my son this year.  He has tried 2 sports that are totally new to him, cross country and basketball.  Cross country for a sprinter is a big undertaking, but he stuck with it and had some really good times.  While he may not have the best shot yet in basketball, he is tall and has done a wonderful job rebounding.  Of course, Scrappin Sports & More new papers were perfect to capture both of these sports. 

Scrappin' Sports Products Used:
1340 The Sport is Cross Country
1266 Name of the Game Stop Watches
1240 Game Day Cheerleading (gray stars)
1303 On the Edge Sports Soccer (light green)
1322 Sports Head On Cross Country (shoes)

Scrappin' Sports & More Product Used

Home Sweet Home!

When I saw the new "The Sport Is...." line of papers, there was one paper in particular that popped out at me.  The "Homecoming" paper is beatiful black with white script and a lovely font on the back that says "prom."  It was, of course, intended to scrap the high school dances, but when I saw the Homecoming paper, it meant something else.  There is a very special family that I know who was missing one family member from April until November of 2010.  The father of three, and wonderful husband, of this family was stationed in Saudi Arabia during that time with the Maine Air National Guard.  In November, his family was so excited to greet him at the airport to welcome him home.  So, to honor this incredible military family, and ALL military families, I created this layout about his "Homecoming."  Welcome home, Mike!

Products Used:
#1347 -The Sport is Homecoming/Prom

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!!)

Another Sneak Peak!

Super-sized cardstock stickers!  Yep, that's what I'm talkin' about.  SS&M will be debuting their newest over-sized embellishment at CHA this coming week - 10 super-sized ball stickers!  I love these.  I could use them on every sports layout I do for the rest of my life and never grow tired of them.  They are the perfect size for layering with a photo, your journaling or your page title.  They just look fantastic. In the following examples, I've used the golf ball super-sized sticker and (for all you music lovers out there..) I've also used the music super-sized sticker!  I hope you give these a try.  I know you'll love them and be as excited about them as I am.

Thanks for looking!

Yummy New Papers!

CHA -- the Craft & Hobby Association's trade show is only about 10 days away and that means some fun new papers coming your way from Scrappin' Sports & More!  I love to created with bright and cheerful papers and the new Swimming Paper is perfect for that!  Now we all love to swim at my house but Cooper loves it the most by far!  LOL --- he is a golden retriever after all!

Isn't that paper fun?  The background paper is from the Down on the Farm line --- perfect for  coordinating backgrounds!  I love that both sides are so much fun and coordinate so well.  In addition, the colors are a perfect match for the past swimming lines so they go great together!  Here is another design using this line:

Meet Kennedy...

Yep, my neice went and had this adorable little guy this summer and made me a GREAT aunt (I always knew I was bound for greatness!!).  Here he was only a week old and my little cuddle bug!!!  It was just perfect that Scrappin Sports & More has a Family line of papers (especially since I now have a Great NEICE that just arrived for New Years!!).  I'm having a hard time keeping up with everyone!  They need to slow down so Aunt Shannon can scrap!  Ha! Ha! (no, seriously guys...if you are reading this...)

If you haven't checked out the "Family and More" line...you totally need to!  There is literally something there for the WHOLE family!!
