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! :)

Football MVP

During a 2-week pre-season football camp my son received a certificate of recognition from the coaches at the camp - he was beyond thrilled to be honored and we are beyond proud!

His award was for "COACHES AWARD FOR RESPECT TOUGHNESS".   He has always played extremely tough so it was great he was recognized for it and hopefully it encourages him to keep playing tough!

For the Love of the Game layout by Carolyn Lontin

I love the Sports on Fire line by SSM especially when you mix it with a little bit of the Reflections paper, some stars from the Title Sports line and of course a layout just isn't complete without at least one card stock sticker! :)  

Tonight we had a  baseball game near our home football field - makes me really look forward to another football season this fall - even the hot sweaty dog days of summer tournaments in late August to prepare the boys for another exciting season!

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.

Championship 2011!

Hi everyone, I have another team photo to share with you today!

This photo was taken after my son's football team won their fourth SuperBowl in five years - and we have a shot like this each year!  But, what I especially love in this photo is that you can see the score board!  Very cool!

This  layout features one of my all time FAV papers made by Scrappin' Sports & More - the Reflections line!   It also features papers from recent releases such as The Sport is ... and Title Sports - see how well the different lines by SSM work together!

Pride Layout

This year when it came time for our son to get his 'play-off mohawk' in football ... my DH decided to join the boys and sport a mohawk of his own!  In this photo, five of the six boys have been getting mohawks together since the first grade (they are in 5th grade this year!)  Great memories!

I think it's SUPER COOL to use SSM's Custom papers to add the team name and colors to a layout!

PageMaps FUN!!

I feel so fortunate that we got to be a part of the awesomeness that is PageMaps!!  I LOVE the sketch that Becky gave me to work with and I look forward to using it over and over!!  Be sure to check out all of the November PageMaps (including this one)!  They are amazing to work with!

I decided to do the photo of my son wearing his Rally Cap at the Portland Sea-Dogs game.  He was there with the team that he was the bat-boy for (all 7th graders) and had a blast just being "one of the guys."  Unfortunately the team got absolutely creamed!  But, he did is part to cheer them on by putting on his Rally Cap and getting the rest of the boys to do the same!

Play Hard

I love baseball photos, I love it even more when I catch one like this where my son has finished his swing and the ball is still in the photo (and that I am getting pretty good taking photos behind the fence)!  

When I saw this photo I immediately thought of Scrappin' Sports & More's Sports on Fire line and then of course I added in some of my other favorite baseball lines by Scrappin' Sports & More! :)

No Hitter

Okay so maybe it's not technically pitching a no hitter but we will count it as one! :)

Journaling:
You came in as pitcher with one out and the bases loaded, you threw six strikes in a row to end the game!  You were so excited as you ran off the field with your team!  March 2011 (oh no!  just realized my layout says March 2010 - lol - have to fix that! :) )

Baseball Teammates

I love capturing photos of the boys on my son's sports teams bonding - I caught this great shot of the boys in the dugout during their play-off double header games last spring ... once they saw me in the dugout with the camera they couldn't squeeze together quick enough to be in the photo! :)

I decided to keep this layout simple by using one of my all time Scrappin' Sports & More paper lines - Reflections; I love the simplicity of the reflection side and I am a sucker for the side with words.  This paper line makes a great addition to any sports page!
