Here We Go

Happy #ThrowbackThursday

I'm back today with another sports-themed layout I created back in March. Biking is definitely a sport, just ask my dad, who entered his first race this past fall. He trains by biking 100's of miles each week. I think his PR is 58 miles. He rides a recumbent bike and that has worn off on my girls. He bought two for my daughter, who struggles on a regular bike but whips us all on her trike. And just recently, he won a $$$ recumbent in a Facebook contest so now she's really riding in style. Anyway, here she is riding her old trike around the cul-de-sac.

Supplies: Combo 12x12 paper (366804) – Amy Tangerine Plus One, Sidekick 12x12 paper (366813) – Amy Tangerine Plus One, Duet 12x12 paper (366817) – Amy Tangerine Plus One, Pair 12x12 paper (366821) – Amy Tangerine Plus One, Companion 12x12 paper (366824) – Amy Tangerine Plus One, Thickers Twins Foam Stickers (366837) – Amy Tangerine Plus One, Remarks Accent & Phrase Stickers (366840) – Amy Tangerine Plus One, Remarks Us Tiny Matte Puffy Accents (366842) – Amy Tangerine Plus One, Adhesive badges flair (366906) – Amy Tangerine Plus One, Teammate Icon Embroidery Stencil Kit (366848) – Amy Tangerine Plus One, Thread Kit / Spools (366864) – Amy Tangerine Plus One, Mixtape Washi Tape (366839) – Amy Tangerine Plus One, Studio Calico Mr Hueys Mist – Lemonade, Heidi Swapp Color Shine – Primrose

My girls like to race to the middle of the cul-de-sac, where there is a single little street reflector. That's the spot that they race to. You want to ride over it first. We have a ball doing this from the starting line, which is the division line between sections of concrete.

I used the tiny washi tape from the Amy Tangerine Plus One collection to create racing stripes across the page.

Still loving the brush script words and phrases. They make the perfect bold title for this page.

This is definitely one of my more simple page and sometimes it just makes sense to be that way.

The weeks are just blazing by these days. Between a MAJOR product launch I am leading at work, back to school coming up and enjoying the last bits of summer with the kids, I just don't like how fast it's moving. Then we have the girls' birthdays and then the holidays begin. What the what???

Anyway, it’s #ThrowbackThursday so as I mentioned last week, I’m here to share some layouts I created earlier this year that haven’t been featured on my blog yet. I should be all caught up in a couple of months. LOL

I created this sports themed layout for an American Crafts feature in April. When I think of the Day Dreamer and Plus One collections, “sporty” isn’t what first comes to mind but after looking at each of these collections a little closer, they actually worked perfectly for the sports photos I wanted to scrap.

My daughter played volleyball with the Texas Tornados for about a year. We are soo proud of her for trying a team sport. She usually likes solo activities so this was a great thing for her.  They played in tournaments and even won 1st place. I got a few shots of this particular tourney and loved this photo of her. 

The girls do a lot of chants during the game so I thought it would be fun to feature one of their favorites as part of the title.

I simply cut the letters out on my Silhouette CAMEO and then stitched a huge ACE on the photo, using the Amy Tangerine stitch letter template.

I'll be back next week with another sports themed layout....
