"X" COUNTRY

Hey, it's Lynette Daniel saying TGIF! to our Scrappin' Sports & More Bloggers! I'm sharing my brand new layout of St. Bede Academy's own Cross Country star Leo Lopez. Go Bruins! I took some perfect fall photos of Leo and used the glorious green tones in the (Girls' Rule) Golf! papers to match SBA's school colors. I used the backside for the outside border and the right side green & white "stripes" for the flag strips of journaling of his score/rank.  I streaked the Kraft cardstock with green paint and gave it a flow~ but cool masculine grunge look and topped it with a die cut X. Tried to replicate the "X" (cross) throughout the layout by using green staples on the journaling tags. Title is painted (chip) grungeboard. 

Have a great weekend SSnM fans and hope this inspires you to try something new!

(Girls Rule) Golf Paper #1390

Sports paper...not just for sports!

The thing I love best about Scrappin Sports and More paper is that it is so easy to use for so many topics!!  The shoes on this layout were originally from a Cross Country paper, but it was perfect to document my dog, Jenny, and how she HAS to lay on my shoes when I am not wearing them!!  Crazy beagle!!  But they could also be placed on a reflective layout...documenting a journey you are taking, new school shoes...just about anything!  Pair them with the "b" side of the sports paper and you have the perfect combination!!

When CHA comes around, there are times I have to surrender some layouts to the show for your viewing pleasure.  But it is sometimes fun to go back and recreate those layouts.  This time around, I got a totally different look using the same products.  Take a look...

Have you ever re-created a layout?  Tell us about it here!

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.
