1st Soccer Season

This page is based loosely on the November sketch on the Upsy Daisy blog.  I used the Vogue paper line again.  I find it works so well with summer photos I couldn't help myself.  I must also be truthful;  blue and green are my favourite colours so noone will ever have to twist my arms to use this line. 

This layout is my first ever sports themed page and I found myself seriously lacking in the sporty embellishments department.  This past summer marked the first soccer season for my oldest daughter.  She really wasn't sure what she thought of the whole experience for the first few weeks until the jerseys arrived.  She was less than impressed that her team got the blue ones.  It wasn't until they pointed out the writing on the underside that a smile appeared.  Check it out.  Tim Horton's was their team sponsor and the fine print on the shirt was a free pass for timbits after every game.  All of the sudden soccer was the place to be and wearing blue was cool.  It's ruthless marketing if you ask me.  I suppose it could be worse.

"1st Soccer Season"

Supplies:  Paper (Upsy Daisy Designs), Trim (Bo Bunny), Button & Sticker (Jenni Bowlin), Epoxy (Epiphany Crafts), Letters (Basic Grey, Heidi Swapp), Brads (Bazzill)

If I could have found a soccer ball on anything I would have turned it into an epoxy for this page.  I'm still on the lookout for one.  You know what?  I just got an idea.  I should just google it and print a mini clipart soccer ball onto the blue paper and epoxy it.  There you have it.  This whole blogging thing really is good for something.  Why I didn't think of this two weeks ago is beyond me.  I'll chalk it up to sleep deprivation.  That's my excuse for everything these days.  With that, I'm going to sign off for tonight.  I have to pack for twelve hours of uninterrupted scrapbooking and shopping tomorrow.  Oh what fun!!  And there is not even a single note of sarcasm in that last sentence.  My, the times have changed when Friday night is happily spent packing craft supplies for an all day event of cutting and gluing paper on Saturday.  I wouldn't change it for a second.
Cheers (hehe),
