More Calendar Fun!

Oh my --- I am in love with the new calendar line!  In fact, I couldn't help but create a 201o calendar even though the year is almost over!  It was so quick & easy!

Here is a peek at the inside:

In addition, just take a look at these fun cards:

How great would it be to create a whole set - one for every month - to give away as a Christmas gift?

Make sure you get your hands on some of this wonderful paper soon!

New Calendar Lines!

These new Scrappin' Sports & More Calendar line is so fun!  The designs on each page (front AND back) are really sweet and the colors are bright and cheery.  The front side of each paper includes the name of each  month and the back has just the design on it.  Since my daughter's birthday is coming right up, I wanted to show you the page I did of her using the August Calendar paper.  Aren't those suns just TOO CUTE?!

And, since we are all getting ready to think about that "back to school" business, let me share with you the layout I did using the back of the November Calendar Paper.  The fall colors matched the oak leaves that fill my yard every fall PERFECTLY!

You can see the whole set of calendar papers HERE.  And, you can be looking for these papers available for purchase very soon!

Have a great day!

T-Ball Fun

My twin great-nephews are in their 2nd season playing little league T-Ball.  During their last game of the season earlier this summer I got to snap a couple of pictures of them.  It was so much fun seeing the intensity in their faces and I knew they were having so much fun.  They are both such baseball fanatics and want to play catch or hit the ball around in the backyard every free moment.  I just love these 2 little guys.

This layout is based on a sketch by Susan Stringfellow (Sketch Savvy).  As soon as I saw the sketch, I knew it would be perfect to use with SS&M's newest sports line, Sports Head On! 

Thanks for looking

Sports Head On Papers!

The new Sports Head On line released by Scrappin' Sports & More at CHA just ROCKS my scrappin' world!  I love the big patterns and as well as the backside of the papers that have very cool patterns!


In my first layout 'target practice' I cut out the scopes from the Sports Head On - Hunting paper and used the back side camo design ... I am going to us a lot of this camo pattern since my son is totally into anything camo! I also used the back sides of the Sports Head On -  Music and Sports Head On - Wrestling papers.

I had a lot of fun with this second layout 'eXtreme golf'  I cut out the golf balls from two sheets of Sports Head On - Golf papers and pop dotted most of them to create an eye catching frame around my photo.  The 'X' in eXtreme was cut from the backside of Sports Head On - Golf paper.

Sketchy Inspiration...

Sometimes when the mojo is low a sketch is just what I need to get my going again.  With the wonderful world of blogs, there are so many places to choose from.  Sketchy Thursdays is a place I go a lot for inspiration and to play along.  When the sketch came out for 7/22 with a diagonal line through the middle, I INSTANTLY thought of our new "Sports Head On" line of papers.  So this is what I came up with from the sketch...

Now I have the perfect layout idea for some fun pictures of my nephew and son that were recently taken at the lake.  These new papers are inspiring by themselves, but add a great sketch and the combination is priceless!!

Favorite Custom Papers!

I'm wrapping up my posts on the Custom Papers here at Scrappin Sports and More with some of my favorite creations!

This one just makes me happy --- I love that I was able to custom design paper in a subject that I would never find on the market - crab fishing!

My last one for you is a design that is framed in my house right now --- love that the papers say it all:

Let your imagination run wild and head on over to Scrappin Sports & More to design your own personalized papers!

Child's Play!

That's right!  Kick Ball is Child's Play!  But, we ALL get into it around here and it's a great family game that we enjoy playing together.  For these custom papers, I created TWO papers to go together and it was a great way to capture this fun family time!

UTAH: Arches Nat'l Park

Utah is a gorgeous state!  I loved our visit to Arches National Park in the Spring 2009.

This layout features Scrappin' Sports & More's Custom Leather Grain 2 Paper, which is amazing by itself so I wanted to keep this layout simple to showcase both the papers and the photos.

Everyday Faith

In this layout, I chose to use #903 Custom Fancy Solid in Teal, White & Black.  I think the scripted lettering is perfect for a special occasion like my daughter Confirmation. 

Sports Head On

From hitting The K-Zone to Being a Leader on the field, our new Sports Head On line of papers will be a hit when it comes to scrapping all of your sports related pictures. 

In both of these examples I used the sports ball design on the front side of the papers as primary accents on my pages while using the reverse side of the papers to add  a look of texture and dimension.  I love double sided paper and you are going to love this new line of papers.

Beauty is in the Eye of the Beholder

And I think these girls are absolutely beautiful (as you can tell my the titles in both layouts).

What else is beautiful?  Why, the papers I got to use on these layouts!  SS&M is debuting 2 new lines at CHA in Chicago.  The first is "Calendars Made Easy", a line of papers and cardstock stickers for each month of the year, and the line I'm highlighting in this post.  I used the February, June and August papers along with the June cardstock sticker in this layout of my niece, great-niece and daughter.

In this 2nd layout, Beautiful Daughter, I used the May and June papers along with the watersports paper from the "Sports Head On" line of papers also debuting at CHA.  I absolutely love the blue and gold tones of these papers. 

I know you'll love these beautiful new lines as much as our design team members have.  You'll be absolutely blown away by the designs they've creating and will be sharing with you all in the days ahead.

Arrrrrrrrgh!!!!

Ahoy there mateys!!!!  Recently we were kidnapped by pirates and taken aboard their ship!  Well...ok, we paid to go on a pirate cruise...but don't tell my kids!!  It was an amazing experience and we had a great time.  As you can imagine...I was armed with my camera and took LOTS of pictures.  So when we got back, it was time to put it all together.  Scrappin Sports and More had the perfect custom paper to all me to showcase my pictures.

"Exploring" SS&M's Custom Papers!!

Last summer, we went on a bike ride turned hike!  On our ride, we saw this great path that went into the woods.  So, feeling adventurous, we parked our bikes and headed on down the path.  We hiked until the path ended at a river where we rested and enjoyed some wild blueberries for a snack!  All of this fun will be remembered always thanks to the Custom Paper I created!

Round #3 of my Custom Papers!

Everyone knows the my new favorite subject to scrap is my granddaughter, Emma!  My venture into designing Custom Papers wouldn't be complete without designing some for her!

I love the way I can keep the layout simple but make such a dramatic statement with the papers alone!
