Sand through my fingers..

Just continuing doing challenges from the Olympic crop over at Sisterhood of Scrap, I decided to keep combining the challenges with those at Scrapshotz this month.

When I'd read the challenges at SSZ, I was struck by Rosie's example for her challenge. I wanted to copy it badly! I think it was the simple design and the strong lines around the triangles that really piqued my interest. So, I did what I said I'd do and I copied it!!

Using the Mountain Bike challenge from the Olympic crop, this is what I came up with.

I suppose this is another layout that would have worked with Jess's challenge (in Friday's post) given the fleeting nature of sand through our fingers, the triangles filtering up or down (depending on your personality type I guess ) and the fleeting nature of summer and childhood both.

Let me know what you think!!

Have a scrap happy day!

More sports!

As I mentioned yesterday it was a blah weekend around here. Hubby was more than happy to have a project to work on and cut out this "Hoops" die cut for me using a free .svg file and our Makes the Cut program.

Here's another of my nephews in his team photo. This time it's basketball that takes centre stage!

Using the Moxxie "Nothin but Net" paper from Tina and some of those adorable eyelet outlet brads, this page came together quick and easy (thanks to hubby's die cut!)

Have a scrap-happy day!

Football!

My handsome nephew, Jonathan, is the subject of this morning's post. Using some football paper and Tim Holtz Kraft-Core core'dinations - Nostalgic collection, I was able to put together this page for Tina's Scrapbooking

I had a lot of fun, embossing the stars on the right hand side, the pennants under Jonathan's photo, crumpling and stretching the other piece of blue. Sanding the heck out of it is just an added bonus! I love what the Tim Holtz core'dinations does. That kraft inside is just fabulous for masculine layouts like this one.

It was a good break from all the fun, bright and cute layouts I've been doing lately and I wish my nephews would be free-er with their photos for me to scrap!
