More high school football layouts, 12 x 12

Play hard or go home . . .

Another  layout from a Sept. 2011 game. The big "W", as well as the orange stripe on the helmet, is flocked.  I'm thrilled with the way the helmet turned out.  I especially love the air vents/eyelets.  Although I admit I spent way too much time on the silly thing! It's hard to tell by the photo of the dark green DSP, but you may notice I stickled the words Sophomore, play, and or go home.  Sometimes the urge to bling it up is just impossible to resist, even  for a football scrapbook!

I'm trying to mix in more colors, so every layout I create of our DS during his four years of high school football and baseball isn't just orange and black!

Are You Ready for Some Football? 

And one more football layout that I was able to complete at January 2012 Winter Craft Camp.  The cardstock is from DCWV Shimmer stack, and SU white.  Obviously, I love Varsity Letter, and use it a lot!  I cut the goal post from Paper Dolls. 

Thanks for stopping by.  Hope you can come back soon! 

Football Layouts, 12 x 12

What a fantastic WCC (Winter Craft Camp) weekend with a great group of ladies, packed full of laughs and scrapping!  I created only about 1/2 of the layouts I had hoped to, because I must be the world's slowest scrapper.  I'd like to give the excuse that I do too much talking and laughing, but when I'm by myself scrapping at home, I'm still slow! 

Football was the primary focus this time . . . layouts from our son's past 2 seasons as a high school freshman and sophomore. As always, I love to hear from you so share your comments or suggestions! 

Layout 1

"Freshman" die cut is a  purchase from Paper Wizard.  The 4" football is from Sports Mania.  I used a heavily textured paper, then Karen Foster floss to stitch.

The "Determination/Grit" page is a little hard to see because the DSP is fairly dark.   



Layout 2

I think this layout may be my favorite football layout ever!  I used the same style of football as in Layout 1, same textured paper, and stitched it in the center. Numbers 2011 are Thickers. 

The name is the narrow font cut from Cricut Lite Varsity Letter, which (I think) is a must have cartridge if you scrap sports!

The lineman is cut from Sports Mania, but I made of few of my own changes to the helmet, to make it look like ours, and also added numbers to the shoulders of his jersey.  You may notice the different texture with his uniform -- I intentionally used both textured and smooth paper to differentiate the black colors. 

"Beware" is cut from Happy Hauntings, then I used orange Stickles in the center.  

The black word "Panthers" is also from Varsity Letter cartridge, the standard font.  The paw is from Cricut Lite Zoo Day (which I HAD to have s I could cut Panther paws!).  



Baseball layout for 12x12 frame

My daughter and I worked together to create this single page layout to fit  a 12 x 12 frame.  It was her boyfriend's 15th birthday in September, so this was one of his gifts.  He loves playing baseball, and played over 70 games in 4 states this past summer for the Monster Baseball Club.  

The baseball field is cut from the Baseball Solutions cartridge.  I used SU! cardstock, and grass covered DSP.  The letters and numbers are from Varsity Letter (Lite), and all other cuts are from Sports Mania.  Oh, a friend cut the "squiggly" M in Monster for me that she created using SCAL (Thanks Heidi!).  Pitcher's mound, home plate, and the bases are popped up, although you can't tell from the photos.  Lots of ink distressing, just a touch of ribbon, and a few star brads in opposite corners finished the layout.

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).

Pony Baseball - Summer Travel Season

DS has spent the last two summers playing HOI (Heart of Illinois) Panther baseball.  The team had such a great connection.  Great boys and a great group of parents.  The end of the season was very tough for me, as a mom, as goofy as it sounds.  It was a lot of fun, and mentally the end of an era as most of the boys, including ours, were moving on to high school and all new challenges.  Thankfully, freshman baseball started last week, so here we are again.  Go Panthers!

The cardstock on this layout is from the DCWV Glitter stack.  Not sure of the brand of the paper with the (Panther) paws, nor the ribbon brand.

Cricut cart used was Sports Mania for everything but the bats, which are from Baseball Solutions.

Jr. High Cheerleading Layout

When my daughter's Jr High basketball team played against my niece's team, it's a perfect reason for a layout!  The girls go to different schools.  My niece is a cheerleader, and my daughter is on the dance team.  The left page is all about my niece cheering with her "cheerios" while the second page is pics of our girls in their dance & cheer uniforms.  They were having some fun in the pictures!

Cardstock is Stampin Up.  The background paper on the right is from the DCWV Glitter stack (love this stack).

I used Rock Princess and Sports Mania cartridges, and I think I got the megaphone from Paper Doll Dress Up.  The black design on the solid green cardstock is from Accent Essentials.

I Love My Sweet Niece!

My niece is a great athlete in every sport she's played and enjoys scrapbooking too - what a great young gal!  These are some pages I made to give her for her birthday.
