CHA Sneak Peak.....New Sports Line

I think you'll have to admit, this line is like no other that we have had in the past.  If the design team is any indication, it will soon be one of your favorite lines and with 18 designs to choose from I think you will admit, there is something for everyone! The Design Team has been having a blast designing layouts for CHA.  These will soon be posted on the blog, so make sure you check back often to get some wonderful inspiration!

Monster Trucks: World Finals X

In 2009 we took a trip to Las Vegas to see the Monster Jam World Finals X - this is the big end of season event in which trucks qualify for all season long.  At first, I was just excited for the mini family vacation ... I never expected to have as much fun as I did or meet as many nice people.  The drivers of the Monster Trucks are so nice, so much fun and so very appreciative of their fans (as well as their fan's parents for bringing them!)

This layout features Scrappin' Sports & More's Custom Spirit Names Paper to highlight the champions of the 2009 World Finals X.  The Free-Style champion was AirForce and the Racing winner was Maximum Destruction.  I had a lot of fun creating this layout!

Sneak Peaks for CHA!!!

Scrappin Sports & More has two wonderful new lines available at CHA this summer!!  The first is this wonderful calendar line.  There are also coordinating stickers for each month as well.  Be looking at the blog later this week and next for some wonderful layouts and a calendar created from this new line.  If you want to see it up close, please stop by the booth at CHA and place your order!

She Loves Polka Dots

For the past couple of years, my youngest has loved everything with polka dots.  It doesn't matter what it is...bedding, clothing, lamps, drapes, rugs, purses....she wants it all!!!  I wanted to capture this love in a layout for her and the #926 Custom Spirit Dots 2 paper was the perfect choice.  I mean it's polka dots, in the colors of my choosing with her name on the paper.  It doesn't get any better than that!!

What an Adventure!

The Custom Flourish #1 paper design was an instant favorite and a perfect paper for scrapping a recent trip we made to Universal Studios in Orlando.  Being able to use bright fun colors like teal and lime green against the red and black background of this paper really helps convey the fun we had that day at the amusement park.

Supplies:
#912 Custom Flourish #1
#1240 Softball Game paper

For all your professional wrestling needs...

Ok...so let me explain...my hubby and I have this deal...he goes to professional wrestling matches and I take pictures.  I have to tell you...I have learned to really enjoy scrapping the pictures!  It's not your every day pictures to say the least.  Actually...the large embellishment on this page was actually part of the sign we brought to the match to hold up!

One of my biggest challenges with scrapping professional wrestling pictures is that not a lot of companies have papers to accomodate my needs.  NOT the case with Scrappin Sports and More!!  Not ONLY do they care a wide variety of wrestling papers...I can CUSTOMIZE my OWN papers!!  How cool is THAT?  Yep!  They spoil me!!!

So Happy Together

My husband and I recently celebrated our 25th wedding anniversary.  I can't tell you how exctited I was about being able to design my very own custom paper to help record this milestone event.  Not only was I able to incorporate our wedding colors in the paper, but I was also able to include our names on the paper.

#1300 - Down on the Farm Pigs 12 x 12 paper

Batter Up!!

Playing with these CUSTOM PAPERS has been so much fun and, I really enjoyed customizing this one for my son.  He loves baseball and his favorite part is batting!  When he saw this layout he said, "Mom, that's so cool that you made that paper for me!"

Bronco Fan!

It's no secret around our house that we are Denver Bronco Football fans through & through!  Each year my son attends one Bronco game - but last year he was lucky enough to attend two games!  Even though the second game was very cold he was willing to stick it out to see his football team play!

The Scrappin' Sports & More Custom Diagonal Spirit Names Paper turned out perfect for my Bronco Fan on Game Day!

Like Father Like Son

In today's layout, I used #906 Custom Spirit Names to create my Chemistry paper.  I had already taken pictures of the first time my son used his Chemistry set, so I wanted to use purple as one of my colors to match his gloves.  It's not often I get to use purple on a layout about my husband and son.  To complement the dark background, I used small white circles and pops of colors from scraps I had left over from prior projects.  This layout came together really quickly and could be used for any theme.

A Purr Fect layout & Alex's New Dallas Room

Today, I have two layouts to share with you.  The first is celebrating two of the furry little friends we brought into our home last year.  I used #908 Custom Diagonal Spirit Names to have both their names printed on the paper.  Can I just say how fun that is to have paper totally customized!!! 

In the next layout, I wanted to capture my son's support of the Dallas Cowboys.  He has had the bedding for over a year, but we finally got around to painting his room Dallas Cowboy grey.  I was able to use #922 Custom Stripe 2 in navy blue & grey to create The Cowboys paper. 

American Pride

I absolutely love the Scrappin' Sports & More Custom Flourish Paper - this paper is perfect for so many different events and themes!  I decided on American Pride because the flourishes reminded me of fireworks.

I enhanced the flourish by tracing it with Stickles.  I also used Stickles to outline the clear stars to make them pop with the flourish.

More Custom Goodness!!

These Custom Papers have been so fun to work with!  For this paper, I chose some great boy colors and added my son's name for the text.  Then, kept the layout clean and simple to accentuate the great lines of the paper.  Then, I found a super cute poem online (author was unknown) and it fit perfectly!  These Custom Papers defnitely work a look, if you haven't looked already!

1 Paper...2 ways

If you are anything like me, you go have a stack of patterned paper about a mile high.  When I get patterned papers, I tend to get at least 2 of each pattern.  The cool thing about Scrappin Sports and More's Custom Papers is that not only can you get 2 of each paper, you can get a bunch of each paper and make an entire album with one personalized paper made just specifically for you. 

Here, I used one of our customized papers to work on a recent trip to Mexico. How cool is it that I not only get an awesome vacation, but now I have an awesome customized scrapbook!!

Fabulous Custom Papers!

When  I heard that I was going to design my own custom papers, I admit that I jumped up and down just a bit!  How exciting to be able to choose the perfect color combinations along with the paper and font styles?  I went right to work searching through my pictures for just the right ones -- the unique ones that were screaming for unique paper! 

Did you know that ordering custom papers is a snap with Scrappin' Sports & More!  It was super easy and quick and the end result was fantastic!

Throughout the month, I will be sharing them with you here -- a couple at a time!

In addition to my Custom papers, I used:

#1114 - Bowling Star Yellow
#1294 - Ducks

In addition to my Custom papers, I used:

#1152 - Classic Hockey

Seth Lontin: the closer

I fell in love with my son's nick name of  'the closer' during spring baseball, so I jumped at the chance to have a Scrappin' Sports & More Custom Paper made with his name and nick name to scrap one of my favorite photos from this season!

Here is my layout, the custom paper worked so well with so many of Scrappin' Sports & More's other papers!

Happy Belated 4th of July!!!!

I hope everyone was able to celebrate this wonderful country we live in by spending time with all the important loved ones in your lives.  We are so lucky to live in such a wonderful country that gives us such freedom.  God Bless the USA!!!!

Another wonderful thing that happens in the month of July, is CHA!!!  I just love seeing all the new lines and new products, its really inspiring.  Here at SS&M we are showing off our custom paper.  On this layout, I used 2 custom papers.  The first is the #905 Custom Cotton paper, which I chose to use a black background & white lettering for Washington DC.  I paired it with another Custom Paper, #906 Custom Spirit Names, which I choose to use a blue, yellow & white.  The words in yellow say "8th grade class trip" and the white letters say "White House Capitol Mt. Vernon"  Just love how you can customize to meet your needs!!  Check out the SS&M website to create your own paper!
