Volleyball locker decor & treats

 Lately a lot of my evenings are spent watching this sweet girl play volleyball and I love every minute of it. She is doing awesome!

Along with the fun of watching them play comes the fun of decorating lockers and sending little treats along to brighten a bus ride. So I have a couple pictures of simple things I've made this season.

I used my Silhouette to help me make my locker decor. I did a quick search of the silhouette store and purchased a volleyball cut and some borders. I used both on my locker tag below:

I kept it simple and quick. My daughter has told me how quickly these things get torn off of lockers, plus when you're making enough for the whole team quick is the way to go. I found this quote on the internet and altered it just a little to make it more team specific, used our school colors and my daughter's jersey #. I did each girl's # on their card and just used a font from my computer and cut them with my silhouette.

They had a long bus ride that same week so I bought a few treats to put in a bag and made up a really quick "recipe" for a great game. Here's the finished product:

"Play Hard" is a Teresa Collins stamp I recently won from Paper Crafter's Corner. I've used it quite a bit already along with some of the other stamps in the set. Really loving it!

To get the "recipe" printed on the recipe cards I just printed on a regular 8.5x11 paper and then taped the cards over the printing and ran it through my printer again. I was able to print 3 at a time this way. The card reads:

The recipe for an awesome game!

Contents inside.

(Play Hard stamp)

Mix together, sprinkle with confidence and enjoy a great game!

And this is what was inside:

 

Package of crackers w/ cheese - Label: Crisp serves

Bag of Swedish fish - Label: Perfect passes

Mini charleston chews - Label: Sweet sets

Slim jim - Label: Hard hits

It's fun to make these little things for the girls and I think they really enjoy the treats. lol

Two layouts on Monday

 I have two layout for you today. So let's get started. First I have today's NAS layout using Moxxie's Happy Camper and Fish Stories lines. Here's the layout:

 My daughter got a couple of her friends together after they finished 8th grade and burned all their homework as a way of saying goodbye to Jr High and hello to High School. It was a lot of fun for them and I really enjoyed hearing them tell their stories. She may have just started a tradition for our family. 

  You can see the sketch and more examples on the Nuts blog here.

I also have a layout using the new Magical Moments line from Moxxie:

I kept this layout simple so it didn't overwhelm the photo. I love the way the white space makes the photo the star of the layout, but I still have some really fun elements here from this great line. You can find more details on the Moxxie blog.

Tuckered Out!

 Are you ready for the latest Nuts sketch? Shawn is nearing 300! I can't believe all the awesome sketches I've been able to enjoy!! This week is sketch #282:

I decided to work with my latest Scraptastic club kit for this layout and this cute photo of my little guy taking a much needed nap. He is not a good sleeper, so we often get to the stage where he is getting in trouble when he finally takes a break and naps a bit.

 

As usual I changed the sketch a bit here and there to meet my needs. I only had one photo, but it worked great in the same space as the 2 from the sketch. Here's a few detail photos:

Love this fun star washi tape & these wood die-cuts were really fun!

I did my title a little different because I had the extra photo space. I really like how it turned out. 

Thanks so much for stopping by today! Don't forget you can see more takes on this sketch at the Nuts About Sketches blog.

At the Ballpark with Moxxie

 Have you been following along this week over at the Moxxie blog? All week long there's been awesome inspiration using this new line At the Ballpark

This is one of my favorites from this latest release!

Here is the layout I made using this awesome line:

I can't even tell you how awesome this line is and how fun it was working with it! I totally love these papers and stickers. They just give you that ballpark feel as you're working with them and I LOVE being at the ballpark. So fun!!

  My son loved playing catcher this season and I have to say I more than enjoyed taking photos of him. Especially since my new camera and longer lens came in time to get me some awesome shots!

Like I said I thoroughly enjoyed working with these papers and just added tons of details to my layout. The papers and cardstock stickers are fantastic and it's fun to add a little stamping, stitching and distressing too. Here are a few more  closeups:

 I even used my silhouette to make a title with this awesome lined pp. Totally looks like baseball pants!

Back 2 School with Moxxie!

 Today we are going back 2 school! My kids are already in their second week back, but we are still trying to settle into our busy schedule. I thought it would be fun to do a layout of my little guy waiting for his turn to go. 

 These School Zone papers from Moxxie are so fun and easy to use. I just picked some of the more kiddish ones and decided to go with a simple grid design. I love that I had a photo of the bus driving away to add to this. My younger daughter is in the back window waving too, which makes it even more special to me.

I used the rub-on stop sign from the School Zone rub-on pack in my title, along with some chalk washi tape and red staples.

I added some numbered washi tape along the bottom of the photo and circled my son's age, then cut out some crayons from the patterned paper to add below. I wanted my main photo and grid to be a little more cohesive which is why I picked a few coordinating colors of markers and went around the grid a few times.

 Looking for a way to connect the school bus to the main portion of the layout, I decided to go with this fun arrow washi tape and then added my journaling below.

I hope you enjoyed seeing this fun School Zone line today! 

Thanks for stopping by. :)Ange
