New Papers = New FUN!!!

It's always so exciting to open a package of new papers...ahh..I even love the smell of them! (please tell me I'm not alone, here!)  I just love the new "Sports and Activities" line..it's SO cute...and like Shannon, I was inspired first by the Softball Papers.

I chose to use both sides for my layout, and added the backside of the Workout paper for the red polkadots and some whimsy.  I used the older Sports Head On Racing paper as the background as to me, it looks like the softball fence! I also used some of the Baseball Cardstock stickers as background to my title and the banner. I love how all the lines work so well together!!

Hey Batta Batta!!

The "Blue Cheeze" sure didn't stink!  The girls on this team made it all the way through playoffs for an impressive 1st place standing!  In this particular playoff game, my daughter scored a run which didn't happen all that much as she was typically "RBI girl" due to her fantastic "eye"...she was SO excited to score a run in this very important game!

Athlete in Action!

We had such a great time while Emma was here visiting last fall.  The boys couldn't get enough of her and were alwasy fighting for her attention...it's not surprising that they taught her every sport imaginable while she was here.  What is surprising is how fast she picked them all up!  Just look at that form with the soccer ball - arm back, head down - perfection!

Mickey Golf?

This is one of those times when I scrapped one of the hysterical things my kids said so that we can remember it for years to come.  Around the age of three, my son would constantly ask to play "Mickey Golf!" I just figured he was saying it wrong and didn't bother to correct him-- it was kind of cute, after all!  So, one day I asked him if he'd like to go play some Mini-Golf.  He quickly corrected me: "Girls play Minnie Golf!  Boys play Mickey Golf!"

Scrappin' Sports and More has a few different golf papers, and I used two of them to create this layout, along with some fun cardstock stickers that I incorporated into my title!

Here's a close up of the chipboard letters that I put onto the cardstock stickers for the title:

The Wild, Wild West

We recently spent a week in sunny Arizona - what a welcome and warm relief from the cold of a midwest winter!  While there we spent time sightseeing in Tombstone and a day at Old Tucson Studios.  Spending time at these places brought back memories from my childhood, spending time with my dad - a guy that loved watching "shoot 'em up" westerns on tv.  It was fun to see where old episodes of Bonanzo were filmed as well as movies like Rio Bravo and McClintock.
