Just Playing Soccer

Hello fellow bloggers!  I am excited to share with you the layout I made for this week's die cut challenge over at Stuck On U Sketches.  Our theme was "Put Me In Coach."  I looked through lots of photographs for anything sports related and finally found these of our granddaughter playing soccer.  I have been trying so hard to scrapbook in chronological order.  I am generally scrapbooking events that happened in late 2008, but, alas, this layout is from 2012.  Hey, it happens!  LOL.  Here are the details:

Patterned Paper:  Recollections
Card Stock:  Bazzill; American Crafts; Core'dinations
"Soccer" and Soccer Ball:  Boys Will Be Boys Cricut Cartridge cut at 5"
Shoe:  All Sports Cricut Cartridge cut at 2 3/4" using the flip feature (p. 41 of handbook) (I hand cut the leg.)
"Just":  Don Juan Cricut Cartridge cut at 2" (I cut it from the phrase "Just Because")
"Playing":  3 Birds on Parade Cricut Cartridge cut at 2 1/2" (I cut it from the phrase "Playing Dress Up")
Arrow:  Boys Will Be Boys Cricut Cartridge cut at 3"
Stars:  George Cricut Cartridge cut at 1 1/2", 2 1/4" and 2 1/2"
Banner:  1 1/4" circles glued onto 1 1/2" scalloped circles, cut in half.

This was a fun layout to make.  I think it is because I just love the bright primary colors!  I hope you like it too!  Thanks for your comments.  It is always nice to get comments and know that people actually like and appreciate your work!  And, I hope you will consider joining us for this fun challenge!

Fabulous Fall Fun

Happy, happy Friday!  Today is another reveal day over at Stuck On U Sketches.  This week's challenge was to use a leaf or leaves on our project.  I just happened to have these adorable pictures of my granddaughter that I took in 2008 that were waiting to be used on a layout.  I love it when it works out that way.  Here are the details of the layout:

Card stock:  Bazzill and Core'dinations
Patterned papers:  Basic Grey (Origins), My Mind's Eye, DCWV (Rustic Stack)
Leaves:  Flower Shoppe for the large and medium size leaves (cut at 7 1/2" and 2") and for two of the three flowers.  I used a flower punch to make the leaves behind the flowers.  (The third flower is a Recollections flower.)  I ran the leaves through my crimper to give them some texture.
Small leaf banner:  Martha Stewart punch
Tree:  Bloom Lite cartridge cut at 2" layered on a 2" circle and a 2 1/2" scalloped circle cut using the Mini Monograms Cricut cartridge
"Top Note" (yellow background):  I had this in my stash, so I don't remember for sure, but I think this was cut using the Elegant Edges Cricut cartridge.
Fabulous Fall:  3 Birds on Parade Cricut cartridge cut at 2 1/4"
Fun:  Sizzlit Twinkle Toes font
Decorative strip of circles:  Basic Grey

I hope everyone had a great weekend.  I am sharing today a card I made for my nephew's graduation.  The school colors are blue and gold.  I bet you would never have guessed that!  LOL.

Card stock:  Bazzill and Core'dinations
Patterned papers:  K and Company Hopstock pad

I made the words in a circle in Word using Word Art.  I printed it on card stock and then punched with a 1 1/4" circle punch.
