Here are some sports lay-outs that I have done for some of my daughter's sports pictures...It might give you some ideas for your own sports themed pages...

| I like to use the team colors for the background color on my pages and use black as a main border for the photos I back the photos with pop dots and they really pop. I used my cricut to cut out the letters. I like to use some 3D embellishments for added demension as well as stickers. The team mascot is a LION with paw prints on all school spirit stuff...which is really fun to use as an accent on her sports pages. I also like to use her hair ribbons to tie into the pages for memories...this blue and white polka dot ribbon was her main go to ribbon for these games...I used my corrugater to add texture to the torn black border as well... |
Well, hello October, come on down, this year is blowing by; it feels like "Life in the Fast Lane" lately, but it will surely settle down soon. We did some yard work over the week-end. While we were working on the trees in our front yard, all of a sudden, we heard birds (hawks) making loud screeching sounds to each other like they were talking, and then we saw one over our heads, then there were two, and then there were three of them, circling over our heads...Gary yelled their hurt, I stopped stuffing limbs and leaves in the trash bag and looked up thinking how does he know they are hurt, so I asked him "How do you know that they are hurt?" and he yelled "No, they think the dog is hurt or dead and are looking for an easy meal" well, Rebecca, dropped the trash bag she was holding, jumped up from the ground, practically leaped across the yard, grabbed her dog and became very defensive over the little Jack Russel Terrier she calls "Gracie", she was clutching her protectively while muttering "they're not getting my dog, I'll kill them if they try and take my dog" (I think her hackles were up instead of the dogs)...Gracie just looks around like what's the big deal I'm fine, let me down...after a few tense moments, I guess the hawks realized that the dog was not dead (she was just lounging around sunbathing while we worked), so the birds quieted down and flew away... It seems like our yard teems with squirrels until the fall and then they disappear...actually I think these hawks come to roost in our trees and feast on our squirrels....and then they move on to greener pastures. Near the end of winter right before spring comes we start having an abundance of squirrels again. The squirrels can be a challenge to Gracie as they love to tease and aggravate her with their antics when she is safely in her cage and can't get at them... My daughter has been playing volleyball and softball so I thought I would give you a few ideas of some ways to do sports layouts that might help you with your own little athlete's photos.
