The Last Day

Almost every year I scrap the FIRST day of school.  For some reason, I never really thought to take photos and scrap the LAST day of school!  Maybe it was because I was so excited to get to the beach and start enjoying the summer.  So, this past June, I remembered to bring my camera and had the kids pose outside the school as I picked them up.  The smiles were big and the sun was bright!

I used a mix of the "School is Cool" collection and the "Title Sports" collection to create this page.  It was only a few months ago that these photos were taken, but I can't believe how much they've changed already!

Products Used:
#1357- School is Cool First Grade (Green)
#1357- School is Cool Third/Fourth Grade (Yellow)
#1361- School is Cool Seventh/Eighth Grade (Gray)
#1380- Title Sports Softball (Red Stripe)

Thanks so much for stopping by today!

Love this Boy!

After seeing Nicole's post where she cut out the fun title letters from the patterned paper and re-arranged them to create her own title, I just had to give that a try too!  Here I used the title "Volleyball" and after some creative re-arranging, I ended up with:

Supplies Used:
-The Sport is ...Volleyball

#1360 - Fifth, Sixth Grade Paper
#1291- Cats - Down on the Farm

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.

I just love the new soccer paper from Scrappin' Sports.  I love how easy it is to cut out the title so you can place it exactly where you want it on the layout.

Soccer party!!

At the end of the soccer season, the kids got to have a party at the bowling alley.  So then the decision...do I use SOCCER paper or BOWLING paper?  Luckily, Scrappin Sports & More has BOTH!! 

So here is my son with his 2 besties hanging out at the bowling alley, but wearing their soccer shirts!!  Confused yet?

Boo!

I know, it's still way to early to be thinking about the holidays, but really Halloween is just 41 days away! The boys started talking today about costumes and such and it got me thinking. With a little bit of time on my hands today, I decided to start planning ahead --- well, at least a little bit. I went through all my fun Scrappin' Sports & More scraps and pulled out all the colors that reminded me of Halloween. These are the papers I used:

School is Cool - #1358 - 2nd Grade

School is Cool - #1359 - 3rd/4th Grades

Title Sports - #1384 - Wrestling

Title Sports - #1375 - Hockey

Title Sports - #1370 - Cross Country

Down on the Farm - #1291 - Cats

Family & More - #1275 - Cousins

Family & More - #1276 - Niece

Here is what I created with my scraps:

I am 2 cards closer to being ready for the holidays!

She shoots....SCORE!!

After sitting on the sidelines for three years watching Colby play soccer, Elizabeth decided to give it a try. And, she scored her first goal in only her second game! She was so excited (and shocked)! I love her smile as she ran over for her congratulatory hug!


Of course, there's nothing better to scrap this momentous occasion, than Scrappin' Sports & More papers! I used mostly the soccer paper from the "Title Sports" collection, but also a strip of soccer balls from the "The Sport Is...." collection. I was pretty excited to figure out that I could use the SOCCER title but cutting it out, re-arranging the letters and leaving out a C to spell SCORE! Love it!

Best Friends

This is a layout I created for last year's homecoming.  I may not be invited into the dance but at least it's still okay to take pictures before the dance :)  It's amazing how grown up these Freshman girls look when they are not in pony tails playing sports!!  The newest homecoming paper from the Title Sports is a beautiful blue-grey making it a perfect neutral color for all the colorful dresses. 

First & Last Day of 6th Grade

It is amazing how much children grow within the course of a school year.  It was never so apparant to me as it was in Lily's 6th grade year.  

The primary paper in my layout is both sides of the Fifth/Sixth Grade paper from the "School Is Cool" line with a splash of the Watersports paper from the " Sports Head On" line (yes, puns were totally intended).

"School Is Cool" line

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.

Winners never quit ...

My son tried wrestling one season through our local high school's youth program and it was a tough season.  Since my son is a bigger kid he was usually paired with more experienced kids - he sure learned about not giving up!

I was thrilled to see SSM's new Title Sports Wrestling paper - I love the tiny words on the paper!  I mixed the wrestling paper with Title Sports Golf and Title Sports Volleyball for a layout I love!

Soccer Spirit!

It is hard to believe that soccer season is upon us already here in Maine.  Practices have started & tournaments are scheduled for this weekend.  Each year my hubby takes photos for Lily's soccer team so we have an abundance of fabulous soccer photos.  

The Title Sports Soccer paper is this fabulous green color that reminds me of the soccer fields. I used it to create "Soccer Spirit" as well as a couple of other Title Sports papers that complimented the Soccer paper. I hand cut "SOCCER" from the paper, too!

Soccer Camp!!

It's so hard to believe that summer is winding down!  Didn't school get out just yesterday?!  Thankfully my scrapping obsession-- I mean hobby-- means that I can preserve the memories of this summer that has flown by and we will be able to remember all the fun for many years to come!

One of the fun things that the kids did this summer was to go to soccer camp!  This was Colby's 2nd year of going and Elizabeth was a last minute addition to the camp.  They both had a BLAST!  The new title sports line is perfect for this layout!  I LOVE the built in titles and I especially love the soccer one!  I cut the letters out and popped them up with foam tape.  Then, I added some fun soccer stamps to complete the layout!

Check out this close-up of the fabulous title letters!  Aren't they fun?!

Make your kids happy with your scraps!

I made my daughter one happy, happy girl with a few simple scraps!  I created this  cute bookmark and she was super excited!  She loves to read and even volunteers at our local library.  At the tender age of 8, she's actually started writing book reviews for the library's website!  So, this bookmark was right up her alley!  I used scraps from the Title Sports collection and I love how it turned out.  The only one who wasn't happy was my son.  So, now I need to make another one! ;)

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!!

Homecoming

It is hard to believe that the two girls in these photos are heading off to college in less than a month.   I love that the layout reflects a time of youth and happiness.  The Homecoming paper (#1376) from the Title Sports line made it so easy to pull off a simple & sweet layout to compliment the photos.

Going the Distance

For the past 3 years Victoria has had a passion for distance running.  I envy that she can run for such a long time and never seem to tire.  Oh to be young again :)  Scrappin' Sports newest Title Sports line was perfect to capture her running Varsity track as a Freshman.  I hope she keeps up her passion for running and is able to complete the marathon she keeps talking about.

Let's Play Golf

Play Ball!!

It's time to PLAY BALL!  I love this photo of my son ready to swing and with his eye on the ball.  The Title Sports Basesball paper was perfect to showcase this fun photo!  And, the huge baseball album sticker was also just what this layout needed!  I cut out the "Ball" letters from the baseball paper and added some Glossy Accents.  Then, I put them on with some foam tape to really pop them off the page!

Have a Ball!

My nephew, Mitchell, has a birthday coming right up.  He is a HUGE baseball fan. His favorite team is the Red Sox. To make his card, I combined two lines.  I used the Baseball (#1367) and back side of the Gymnastics (#1374) papers from the Title Sports Line & Baseballs paper (#1255) and Baseballs Cardstock Stickers (#5544) from the "Name the Game" line.  I think they worked perfect together!

Hockey

As soon as I saw the new SSM Title Sports Hockey paper, I couldn't wait to dig out some photos from an Avalanche Hockey game earlier this year. The backside of the hockey paper has pin stripes - love them!

I kept this layout simple, by cutting out the word 'hockey' and pop dotting it over the top of my photos and accenting it with a hockey puck cardstock sticker and a skull brad.
