Turning out to be a great week!

I love it when life goes as planned.
Often I feel like someone is giggling as they throw a wrench in my best laid plans.
I try to go with the flow, but sometimes it just isn't that easy and occassionally not pretty.  
Which is why when things go as planned I am grateful.  
The beginning of the week felt like everything that could go wrong did go wrong.
So I am estactic that this weekend is going great! 
What is so great you ask?

Well, today my daughter, Lily, busted her booty at her playoff soccer game. 
 Did they win?Nope. They tied.  
Now they have to win tomorrow to make it to the state playoffs.  
BUT (yes,I am starting a sentence with the word but), Lily ran hard, fought hard, and was aggressive.
Who could ask for more?

Yesterday I found out that I made the Gel-a-tin's Design Team.  
I tried out for this team on a whim, hoping that they would notice that my stamping 
skills are as good as my daughter's soccer skills.  They noticed!  Woo Hoo!

This is the card that I designed just for the Gel-a-tins DT call....


Stamping on Washi Tape was not as easy as I had imagined it would be.  The tape is slick!
I had to stamp the sentiments a few times before getting them lined up (and not smeared). 
Love how it turned out! 

Now we are off to double Halloween party. Kiddos in the afternoon. 
Adult bonfire tonight.  The costumes are ready. The food has been cooked. 
It is time to have some fun!

I think the rest of this weekend is going to be just as great!  
Hoping you have a great weekend, too!

Pee-Wee Lily

I found this cute photo of Lily tucked away.   Not sure if I scrapped the same photo 
years ago or not, but it made me smile and inspired me.  


To this date Lily is still a good soccer player.  I often share with you that 
she is an athletic girl.  She has been that way since early childhood.

For this layout, I stuck with lots of soccer paper from Scrappin' Sports & More.
I used three different lines of paper and love that they all coordinate making 
this a colorful soccer layout.

I love to watch Lily in motion.  Whether it be soccer, swim, or dance, she is fun to watch. 
She is such a sprite. Small and fast and graceful.  





  Scott found it more difficult this year to get photos of the girls on the bigger field, not surrounded by opponents.  That is why I love the middle picture of Lily in this layout.  No opponent, just her in motion.  

The patterned papers are new from Scrappin' Sports & More. It is the front & back of the new Soccer papers from the "Sporty Words" line.  I played on the big "soccer" printed on the paper for the title work.  The big soccer ball with the words on it was fussy cut out of the backside of the same paper.  Pretty cool, huh?

Scrappin' Sports & PageMaps


Did you all see this month's PageMaps?  The designers  at Scrappin' Sports & More had the honor of using Becky's sketches and being showcased in the November PageMaps.  I am so excited!

 Using an 8 1/2" x 11" PageMap, I created "Sanford Soccer."  I used lots of soccer papers from several different Scrappin' Sports & More lines to achieve this totally soccer layout.  It is so awesome that each of their lines match and can be used together.  


I loved the sketch Becky assigned me, but I am more of a 12" x 12" scrapper.  So I took the 8 1/2" x 11" layout and simply added it to some white cardstock giving me the size I needed.
