High School Football layout

You remember that great feeling from high school of beating your biggest rival?  Our oldest is a sophomore now, and going to the same high school as DH and I did.  The same rivalry, between the same two schools, still exists after more than 25 years.  Tomorrow night is the sophomore game, which got me thinking back to the freshman game from a year ago, and our big win, so I made a layout tonight.  Last year as freshmen, the boys won 26-7.  I'm hoping for the same type of game tomorrow night!  The title of the layout may seem a bit harsh, but it's all part of the decades-old rivalry against the Redbirds.    :)

  I used Alphalicious and MS Seasonal Cakes for the fonts.  The words TASTES and CHEWING are cut from a textured paper intended to appear as a leather football.  The only place I've ever seen the paper is at Hobby Lobby.  Redbird is made from felt letters.

All other cardstock is from Stampin' Up (as usual).  I used Old Olive, White, and Crumb Cake (which is no longer called CC). 

The football paper is from one of my favorite web stores, TheScrapCabana. The redbird from 50 States.  I made the "no" symbol with George and CDS.   

Sweetest daisy in the bunch

For this week’s Scrappy Saturday’s with the Bug Challenge, it’s “Spring with a twist of green”.  This photo has been displayed in our house since DD was only 3 1/2 years old, and she’s 13 now.  It’s always been one of my favorites, so I can’t believe I’ve waited this long to scrap it!  I love how dirty her chubby little hands are, wrapped around the sand bucket, and I remember how much fun she was having picking the daisies, just like it was yesterday!

Sweetest in the bunch is cut from Alphalicious, using SU’s Whisper White and Pixie Pink.  “Daisy” is cut from Walk in my Garden, using SU Summer Sun and Whisper White.  The daisies are from Don Juan, welded and flipped using Design Studio.  The stems are SU Gable Green.  The scallop layers behind each photo are from Hannah Montana, and the picket fence (4 welded sections) is from Songbird.  The silouette is from A Child's Year.  The DSPs are from Doodlebug, the background is “Flutterby” on the left,  “All a Flutter" on the right.  The ribbon and brads are Dear Lizzy “Lively”.

Tap and Theater Dance Layout

Photos are backed in SU cardstock.  “Make Some Noise” is cut from Alphalicious.  Flowers on the Theater dance page are felt flowers from Stampin Up.  Reminisce dance stickers.  Glitter paper (pink) from CropChocolate.

Dance Recital Title Page

Cover page for 2009 Dance Recital album.  The card on the page showing all of DDs dances is what I made and handed out to our family/friends that attended the recital over the weekend.  The show is over 4 hours long, so a list like this helps them so they can leave the theater for a break in between the "important numbers"!

I mostly used rub-ons on this layout.  All paper and rub-ons are Stampin Up.  Paper is Old Olive DSP and Purely Pomegranite card stock (which was an in color at the time).

Dance Studio layouts - Hip Hop, Tumbling & Tap classes

When I scrapped my DDs 2009 recital and studio pictures, I decided to do  few extra pages of some photos I took during regular dance classes.

Baseball layout - Back a few years

If only there was more time to stay caught up on all of the layouts I want to make! The pics used in this layout are almost 3 years old now.  I wish I could scrapbook full-time.  Maybe I would be caught up about 10 years from now.  haha

Cricut carts used:  50 States, Cuttin' Up, Baseball Solutions and Sports Mania (for corner baseball).

Jr. High School Baseball

I can't get enough baseball when Spring hits, and am always sad when the season is over.  DS freshman baseball season started last week, so I'm really in the mood for it. Layouts below are Jr. High school baseball.  Between school ball and summer travel ball, it's never ending baseball.  Love it!

Used SU! black glitter on the "bad day" chipboard letters.  Not sure of the brand for the baseball ribbon, sorry.  All cardstock is SU, the DSP is various brands of sports paper.  The player silouettes are all from the Baseball Solutions cartridge -- they are suprisingly cool in person.



Baseball Layouts

Summer is full of travel team baseball, and I love every minute of it!

As usual, all cardstock is Stampin Up! as well as eyelets and ink (sponged edges)  Alphalicious was used for the titles.  All other cuts are from the Baseball Solutions cartridge, with some welding.

  

Love Is In The Air layout - right side added

Finally got the other side of this layout completed, and I'm really happy with how it came together.  Normally I have ideas in my head for both pages of a layout, but when I did the left side for the Scrappy Saturday challenge a couple of weeks ago, I had no idea what I was going to do with the other side.  So I procrastinated, but finally finished it off!

All cardstock is SU (Old Olive, Pink Pirouette, and Real Red). 

Cricut carts used:  Mickey and Friends, Summer Vacation, Mickey Font

This layout is my entry for this week's Scrappy Saturday's with the Bug Challenge.  It's Melissa and Amanda's second challenge, "Something Lovey". 

I'm currently working on Disney layouts from our January trip, and this picture of Minnie Mouse kissing our 15 year old DS seemed so fitting.  We were at the Beach Club Resort, at the Cape May Character Breakfast, which is one of our favorites. I used Design Studio and Hello Kitty Font cartridge to create the (Old Olive cardstock) page with the "xoxo" border on 2 sides.  The file I created has the "xoxo" around all of the edges, but when I went to use it for this layout, I decided to trim 2 sides off so more of the cute frogs would show from the background paper.

Frog DSP is K & Company.  Ribbon is SU also, then I added some rhinestones, a few pearls (for the dots on the I's), white gel pen, Stardust Gelly Roll pen, and lots of dazzling diamond stickles. How can you not love Dazzling Diamonds???  I'm a firm believer in dimensionals too, so the heart and matted photo are raised.

WDW Introduction Page

Confession:  I have no sewing skills. 
Remedy:  We R Memory Keepers Sew Easy tool and some floss!

So my hand stitched Mickey head is a little rough, but I'm pleased with my first Sew Easy project.  This layout will be the first page in the book of our January 2011 Disney trip.
