Let's Go Bucs! A Baseball Page with Project Life

It's been awhile since I've made a scrapbook page.  I guess I've been enjoying taking lots of pictures and making memories this summer that I haven't stopped to put them on a page!  I know I will be busy this winter! :) 

 

But since it's still baseball season (for some fans at least) I wanted to make my first page from our trip home to PA in August.  If you're not a big baseball fan, I'll fill you in on this awesome Pirates team.  This is our 3rd straight year to make playoffs after a 20 year streak.  It's been so fun to watch them.  We even drove 522 miles last year to go to the wildcard game!

 

I'm hoping Wednesday night's wildcard game has a better outcome!

 

 

When I was using my Bohemian Borders stamp set the other day I happen to use these stiches on a card and immediately saw baseball stitches.  I tested it out (which the boys thought was awesome) and that night I ordered my photos so I could make this page right away! 

For the "Let's Go Bucs" background, I used the Layered Letters Photopolymer set.  Even though they're photopolymer and they're easy to line up, here's a tip: if you mount one word at a time they keep a consistent look.

 

 

The "Gather Together" sentiment is from Seasonal Snapshot 2015.  You can find it in the holiday catalog.  Isn't that font the coolest?!

 

 

And who doesn't love pretzels, family, baseball?! (My boys are easy to love too, FYI) :)

 

I had so much fun making this page.  Our 4yo even asked if we could send it to Starling Marte (our left fielder) - he said he'd would love it!

 

:)  Sorry Eli, we're going to keep this page! 

 

Anyway, thanks so much for stopping by.  Sorry that my scrolling list is not working.  The website that I use to list the items used for my projects is not working from my computer and since our cat spilled water on my husbands MacBook, I'm going to just list the products below. If you have questions, please don't hesistate to ask! :)

PLxSU Moments Like These - Day at the Beach!

I'm so excited to show you this page I made this weekend!  I have been waiting (for too long) to start scrapbooking, but recently purchased some of the Project Life kits offered through Stampin' Up! (PLxSU).  I'm so anxious to dive deeper into the memory keeping so I hope that this very first page motivates me!  I was intimidated looking at those who have been doing this for years, that I kept putting it off.  I'm so glad I gave it a try!

 

Here is sweet Eli.  He wanted to know why I put pictures of him on the paper.

 

I printed these pictures a couple months ago and knew that I wanted to display the pictures of Eli in action, but didn't quite have the paper or layout in my mind.  This weekend I sat down to stamp and this all came together! 

 

For the base I chose Kraft cardstock and paired it with the new Mint Macaron Envelope Paper.  I stamped the large piece of Mint Macaron with the coral stamp from By the Tide. 

For the corner details, I added a few accessories from the Moments Like These accessories kit.  This is a new set/PLxSU kit you can order June 2nd!

 

I added a journaling card from the Moments Like These card kit. 

 

 

If you haven't guessed yet, the sandcastles are made with the Handpicked Framelits.  I used the gardening shovel and the small planter to make the sandcastles and the buckets.  Aren't the cute? :)

 

I hope you enjoyed this! There will be more! I promise! :)

 

Check back later tonight for Ten Minute Tuesday! (that is if I get 10 minutes today)

Below are the products used for this page.  The PLxSU kit used is called Moments Like These and it will be available in ONE WEEK!
