The Amazing A Team - Queen & Co.

Good morning!

Today I am on the Queen and Company blog. 

Ever pull something together that seems completely different but really works?  I feel I did that on this football layout.  The stars are an obvious choice but the color palette is the question.  If you look closely at my photos, they were taken in the fall of 2017.  So, I wanted to focus on the colorful background of the photos and not necessarily the bright blue of the uniforms.  Using the Happy Harvest Fall Paper pad from Queen and Company, and it helped me do just that.  I pieced together 2 - 6 inch strips of paper with the seams falling behind my photos.  This allowed me to have longer papers.

I then filled some of the Stars Shaped Shakers with Pearls Neutral Toppings and Wood Toppings.  

I pieced together a title for my layout with the Word Dies and some old Thickers I had from long ago.

To emphasize the word amazing, I cut scrap white cardstock several times and carefully layered them on top of each other.  I then finished it with a yellow layer on top.  Making it thicker and almost like it has a shadow effect.  

Thanks for stopping in today.  I hope you are inspired to create with our Shaped Shaker kits and word Dies.

Pats vs Dolphins - Pretty Little Studio

It's day 2 of my adventure over at Pretty Little Studio!

For today, I was inspired by the little vintage Freedie Football.  They have several vintage style people that are super adorable.  They match really well with all of their collections too.  

I used Ain't Life Grand for this football layout.  

I picked out all the blues, black and touches of green that I could find.  

There is a really good story behind this photo, be sure to read the journaling!

Football and Gray Hair - Simple Stories

Join me on the Simple Stories blog today.  I am sharing a story about embracing my gray hair and I created a shadow box for an older flag football photo pf my son.  

I used Domestic Bliss and the Football Collection Kit.  

Go Team

Today, I am sharing this super cool layout over at The Cut Shoppe and A Flair for Buttons.  The two go hand in hand with each other for this theme.  A while back, Shelley, from AFB was making custom flair for some people and I asked for the Patriots.  Now, there is every team you could want in the shop.  If she doesn't have it, she will custom make it for you!  Talking about custom made, the "Leaf Love" cut file from The Cut Shoppe made perfect footballs!

The reason for all of this football stuff you ask? Well, I scored two Patriots vs. Bengals tickets for my boys for The October 5th game at 8:30 pm.  Funny story, my one and only Patriots game was back when I was in high school, Pats vs. Bengals!!!  I remember Boomer Esiason was the quarterback for Cincinnati and the crowd was so loud, he kept calling time out.  

Kinda cool that my boy went to his first game versing the same team!

Thanks for stopping by today.  See you again real soon.
