Sticks and...

Veronica down Arlington (NY) way sent us this double layout featuring her son's Lacrosse team. I love that she took time to cut around the top stick on the Lacrosse paper so it would show in front of the photo. That, along with the use of pop dots for the letters and assorted cardstock stickers, really adds a great 3-D effect.

Products used:

P0219E Lacrosse Paper
P0264 Soccer Collage
P0300E Distressed Grass
STCX-0007E Lacrosse Stickers
Bazzill cardstock - 12 X 12
PSX ink stamps
Pebbles Inc. Mackavilli alpha stamps
Fiskars Deckle Paper Edgers

Instructions:

Left Page

Used the Lacrosse paper for the background.
Used a 5 x 7 picture of the team and cut it to 7 X 4 1/2 and matted it on a 9 X 5 1/2 partial piece of paper from the Soccer Collage
I cut around the lacrosse sticks so all of the stick could be viewed and layered it partially over the picture.
I added the cones and words SCOOP, CRADLE and THROW from the cardstock stickers on left side of picture.
I had taken a picture of my grandson's shirt (front & back) and cut out the designs and placed them on the corners of the picture.

Right Page

Used the Distressed Grass paper for the background.
I matted all pictures on card stock and inked the edges with brown ink.
I used alpha stamps for the word UNDEFEATED and used scissors to cut around edges
I raised every other letter with foam dots.
Placed quote, helmet, sticks and shoes (raised w/3-D foam dots) on corner

Thanks, Veronica!

Fore!

Hit the links and swing away, golfers... it's your month! If you're not a golfer, but you have an amateur Woods or Nicklaus in your life, send him a note on a blank Golf Ball card from Paper House Productions wishing him a happy Golf Month. Better still, give the gift of Golf in one of our Golf Gift Bags - complete with a full size blank Golf Ball Card!



If your golfer is lucky enough to have a birthday during Golf Month, we have a Golf Ball Birthday Card, too.
Crafters, you can create beautiful pages and special gifts using our Scrapbooking products featuring a Golf theme.




You may recall I am the world's biggest sports non-fan. That is why I could only think of two pro-golfers, both male. I haven't seen any female golfers in the news, which is my sports source.

I do, however, like sports movies. Remember Caddyshack? Who can hear Journey's "Anyway You Want It?" without thinking of this classic and super funny movie?

Anyway, have a swingin' good August!

Just Kickin' It!

I am the world's biggest sports non-fan, but I understand how people get, let's say "enthusiastic" about sports. I feel the same way about cute furry things!

It must be Soccer season, because I've heard commercials about World Cup, and I've seen signs posted around town that youth Soccer registration is now open. Paper House Productions has a BIG line of Soccer-themed scrapbooking products to scrap your World Cup parties (do people really have these?) or your child's Soccer games.

If you do have Soccer parties, remember that we also have Soccer Ball cut out cards to use for your invitations and Soccer Ball magnets and stickers to use as party favors!

Visit us at www.PaperHouseProductions.com to see Soccer and it's friends Football, Basketball, Baseball, Tennis, Golf and Karate.

Now, gooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo out there and have fun! And remember to hydrate!

Football Layout

Now that High School Football season is nearing an end, this is a perfect time to use all the photos you've taken of your favorite teams' games! We just love using the Football paper as a background, edged with Distress Grass paper to add a little contrast. Since our team player is a super star, we trimmed the stars out of the Football Helmet paper to add a bit of detail, and accessorized the page with Cardstock & Twill football stickers and leftover chipboard pieces.

Supplies:

P-0071 Football Paper

P-0300 Distressed Grass Paper

P-0267 Football Helmet Paper

STCX-0005 Football Cardstock Sticker

STFT-0007 Football Canvas Quotes

Simple Swimming Layout

Now that schools in session and the kids have started their sports (and you've had a chance to take a bunch of photos!), put your pictures to use with an easy way to preserve those memories! Roni, the fantastic and creative manager of Paper House's Art Department, made this layout of her daughter's favorite sport! For those of you who don't like or aren't comfortable journaling, the words on our Cardstock stickers can provide a great alternative. To make this layout, Roni used:

P-0325 Swimming Paper
P-0213 Cool Water Paper
STCX-0089 Swimming Cardstock Sticker
Ranger's Orange Peel Stickles Glitter
