Having a Ball

Another volleyball page of my girl!! I wanted to do a page of her without the "school colors" like I usually do.. i love all the pastels on this.. I am loving all the little flag banners lately. I think I could put them on every page I do-ha!! I had got a great steal on a flag punch at Big Lots and I have so misplaced it my scrapbooking room somewhere. I guess that means it's time to clean it up really good again. I have looked and looked and it is no where to be found.. Maybe it is hiding under one of my huge piles of STUFF-haha..I like how the title on this is different stickers and then I used my cricut for the BALL .. I again did some hand journaling.. SOmthing I am into right now.. Happy Scrapping !!!

2011 RCS Volleyball Season-8th Grade

I got the proofs for my daughter's volleyball pictures today... OH I love them soo much!!! One of my very best friends did the pictures this year and last-Jenelle. She owns Limelight Photography. U can see more of her work at http://www.facebook.com/#!/pages/Limelight-Photography-by-J-Martin/128208880550739 .

The group shot looks amazing!! I love these girls!!!

Another season has come and gone.. It will be sad next year - we are loosing 3 seniors after this year.. It has been a great year though.. Looking forward to 2012 now..

New Addition

Our family got a new addition last November 30, 2011-my little nephew-Jaydyn James Thompson. Here he is at my daughter's 13th birthday party with my Mom and Dad-aka-Grandma and Papaw. He was only 3 weeks old. His very 1st birthday party. He will be turning 1 year old in a couple weeks. I got this pack of boy paper just to make pages of him-hehe.. I haven't done very many boy pages. I cut out my NEW ADDITION on my graphically speaking cartridge. I rounded the corners on the paper-put a piece of ribbon down-cut out sme hearts-matted the picture-and put a few odd pieces of jewel clusters I had left down. I did all my journaling on strips. So simple but so sweet to me.
Hope everyone has a GREAT Weekend!

13th Birthday

I got this sketch from somewhere I just dont remember where.. I love how it turned out for me.. I am all about scrapping on white or cream paper.. i love the look of it. This is Kandis last December on her 13th birthday. She will soon be 14-makes my heart hurt.. My paper is from K&Company. I have been trying to hand write all my journaling lately-just so my hand writing will be on my pages for Kandis one day.. I know how much it means to me to find something that my grandma Thompson wrote before she passed.. SO I figured one day when I am long gone -maybe someone will feel the same way about me-hehe..
I am on a roll-i think this makes 2 or 3 pages the last 3 days-haha..

Sing It

Kandis last year at School-in 7th grade-singing at a program they were invited too. I think it was a Veterans Day Program maybe. She sung a song. She loves to sing-I love to hear and watch her sing for the Lord-she puts her whole heart and sould into it.. She loves the Lord so much. Simple page I scraplifted off another blog tonight.. I changed it up a little..Nothing hard about this.. Hope U like it!

Stars all Around

I love this new green and black page!! That is me cheering this time last year-2010 at a Alumni football game they had at my old school.. My school closed this year-and combined with a BIG NICE new High School with 3 of the other surrounding High Schools in this area.. So they did a tribute to all the alumni at the football game and let us actually CHEER the entire football game just like in the OLD days-haha.. It will be 20 years this May since I graduated High School. I think I did pretty good.. I know I had a blast and I am so glad I participated. These girls with me n the bottom picture are a few of the girls from the years I cheered.. Oh what awesome times we used to have-and what a great time we had that night..
So I had done this page before for my daughter - for her volleyball.. I had remembered I had bought some of the paper from my High School before a local scrapbooking store went out of business and was dying to try it out with MY COLORS!! I think it turned out great.. I used Wendy Baisden's - Easy Star template-by Hot Off the Press for all my stars! Then just layered lots of paper.. I had another template that I could use for the placement of my gems. I did all my journaling on the computer. I inked everything up and taped it all down. This isnt the page I did for my daughter, BUT this is the exact same page I did for Kandis just went different pictures.. I did this page a few weeks ago for 3 of the seniors on my daughters volleyball team at school. We had a senior night at one of the games and I made this page for each of the girls and we put it in a 12X12 frame for them.. I hope they liked it?!?

8th Grade

My little #1 Volleyball player is going on her 4th year on the Varsity Volleyball team at her school.. She goes to a Christian school and we dont have enough girls for a JV team so there for-she gets to play with the BIG girls.. Which hasnt hampered any of her play time.. She is a starter... For the last 2 years now. She keeps improving even more each each. I can only imagine how awesome she is gonna be by the time she gets in 10th and 11th grade-and she is GOOD already-haha..
SO all my time has been with her and on volleyball for the last 2 months.. Volleyball games and practice non-stop.. Starting to get some time in to scrapbook some of the billion pictures I have taken over the last few months.. This is just a few.
This page is so simple I am not even gonna explain anything .. I had that paper that had Regional Christian on the side of it and it just worked out for me perfect there.. Now that I sit and stare at this I am thinking I am gonna put her name up the side of the picture of herself.lol U can never have too much-haha..
I got a few more new pages I will post in the next few days.. I have been scrapbooking a lot-just for others and not for myself-making some books for some people. Just isnt as fun as making them for myself-hehe..
Hope everyone has a happy TGIF!!!
