Football Play Off Time!

During the first grade, my son's football team started a tradition of getting mohawks when they made it to the play offs!  This year my son decided to go all out by adding his number and his team's W logo - I thought it turned out pretty cool!

I added some of SSM's backside patterns in my son's football team colors - black & red and I included a star for each year my son has played football and each year they made it to the play offs - so far six for six! :)

#5 Hey batter batter ...

Around here an athlete's number is such a big part of them but when we play fall baseball they hand out t-shirts with the numbers 1-11 and you get what you get.  Last year was my son's first time ever playing a sport without his beloved #55 on his jersey ... but the #3 came and went in a blink of an eye.  This fall he is sporting the #5 on his baseball t-shirt.  The #5 is better for two reasons - it is the number worn by the Rockies Carlos Gonzales and because people tease my son about losing one of his 5's! :)

Suzanna Lee shares a wonderful Soccer layout!

We have been very blessed to have some amazing Guest Designer the past several months and Suzanna Lee our guest for July is no exception.  I love all the layering she did on this layout.  She created the perfect backdrop for pictures of her daughter.  I love all the stitching and the "ribbon" she created out of the blue patterned paper.  Excellent job!!

Here is a close up of some of her work.

6-3-12 Playlist

Our daily life is full of music. Not a day goes by that the house isn't full of our favorite songs whether it be in our cars or in the house.  My husband, Scott, is even known to still play his favorite 80's records on the weekends.  This weekend I thought it would be fun to document what we were listening to that day. 

Scrappin' Sports & More has several lines that include music papers.  I pulled out two of the lines to work on this layout, "The Sport Is..."(#1346) and "Girls Rule" (#1404).  

The big curves with music notes is a SS&M Supersized Cardstock Sticker (#5569). I have been waiting for just the right project to use this!  I cut pieces of the sticker off (initially it was round) and mounted the cut pieces on black cardstock.  Doing this made them stand out on my page. 

What are you listening to today?  

There is no off Season

It's seems with most sports there is really no off season.  In soccer we play all year long.  Maddy did a great job playing indoor this year; even scored a goal, which is pretty good for a defender!  I used the super-sized soccer ball as the background for my main picture.

Volleyball Layout by Guest Designer Lisa Moen

I am so excited to share another Amazing layout from our May Guest Designer Lisa Moen.  I really love how she cut out the Volleyball and moved the title up and then backed it with the orange stars to make it pop!!  The machine stitching mimics the stitching on the ball creating a really cohesive look.  I love the ribbon made from the orange star paper too and the addition of the small volleyball sticker as a scalloped border.  I hope she inspires you as much as she did me!!

I love this game!

I love capturing moments such as the last huddle of the regular season; here my son's football team is celebrating another win to close the regular season at 8-0! What a great accomplishment!

When I use the Super Size Stickers, I like to keep the layout simple so the sticker really pops. I also added a small pop of color by using the Girls Rule Gymnastics paper for my journaling strips.

I also added the scores of all of the games on the back of the layout.

Fall Baseball!

This is the second year my son is playing both football and fall baseball - while things are crazy busy, he loves it and I would totally miss either one!

Here are some baseball photos from this fall - when I see photos of my son at bat I always hear the crack of his bat against the ball, man I love that sound! :)

I was inspired by Kim to cut SSM's Super Size baseball sticker - great way to frame my photos and to show off the background of the Title Sports baseball paper!

Bittersweet

This is Jordan's final season of college soccer.  It seems like just yesterday that she was 4 years old and tripping over her feet when she ran.  The doctor suggested putting her in soccer where she would have to keep the ball at her feet when she ran.  Who could have guessed that that would be the start of 17 amazing years of soccer. Soccer has been part of our lives for almost 18 years and now we are 2 months away from this chapter in our lives coming to a close.  I can't even imagine that there will be no more games.  No more butterflies in my stomach as she takes the field.  No more private celebrations every time she makes an amazing save.  No more instant prayers when she collides with another player.  I will no longer be the mother of the keeper.  No one envied me that role, but I reveled in it.  I wouldn't have had it any other way. 

Here is a layout from last year's season.  She played amazing and was awarded some great honors.  This year is starting out no different.  Already this preseason, she has been the Defensive Player of the Week for her conference twice.  I can't wait to watch every single game.  I won't miss one minute.

She's Got Mad Skills

My Lily is a girl that sets her mind to doing all the things she loves and doing them well.  This layout is all about what she is loving right now; music, swimming, dance and soccer.  What do I love?  I love that "The Sport Is..." line has theme papers for all of Lily's loves making them perfect for creating a fun layout of my girl.

The ruffles are made from the back sides of the swimming, dance & soccer papers.  The bottle caps are made from SS&M stickers.  Believe it or not, the music note bottle cap is made from the negative part of the Music Super Size Cardstock Sticker.
