Soccer Champ Layout by Emma

Hello SRM fans!  Emma here today to share a quick and easy soccer-themed scrapbook page with you.  You may have read in my bio that I am originally from England, having moved here to Ontario, Canada over 10 years ago.  Soccer (or football as we prefer to call it) is a huge part of a lot of British people's lives, as the most popular sport.  It's fair to say I am a big fan, and have followed my London-based team, West Ham United, for over 35 years.  They aren't the most successful team (to put it mildly), but I can't imagine supporting anyone else.  Luckily the TV channels here show a lot of the games, so I don't miss out as often as I did when we first emigrated.

Canada is very focused on ice hockey, but they do also have a lot of kids' soccer programs which is ideal for our family.  My son has played for the past 2 years, and really loves it.  

SRM has some terrific soccer-themed items, so for this project I chose the Stickers By the Dozen pack, and the Express Yourself Everyday Boy set to make my scrapbook page of this year's soccer pictures.

 

I used a plain blue cardstock background, and some patterned paper from Fancy Pants Designs to complete the page.  The date was stamped using the SRM Today, Tomorrow, To Do clear stamp set.

 

This was such a quick project to make, all thanks to SRM's products!  Scrapbooking in a jiffy, as we would say in England.  As a Mom, I am hoping for the day I can scrap pictures of my son playing for my beloved West Ham, or indeed for England.  He could even choose to play for Canada if he wanted to, thanks to our dual citizenship!  

I hope you've enjoyed my project, and thanks so much for visiting 

with us today.

Happy crafting,

Emma 

 

 

Planner Stamps :) by Melanie

Hello! Happy September! Melanie here to share one of my week's in September, as well as some cards I made using the Planner Stamps.

For this week in September I used the following planner stamp sets:
Birthday Plans
School Days Planner
Planner Notes to Self

They were perfect for including several different phrases and images that cover things in my life. The Tiny Sport Ball stickers made another appearance this month. They come in so handy since we have sports just about every night of the week :)

The LePen Fine Point Bright set gives me the option to keep track of my kids' events, color-coding for each one.  And to top off the page, I used the border stamp from Planner Notes to Self.

I put the School Days Planner stamp set to work again on this set of First Day of School cards for my elementary kids' teachers. I tucked a gift card into each one as a way to help them get through that first day :)  But they could also be used any time throughout the year to say thank you to teachers.

 The clear stamps are great for layering different stamps. I stamped the smiley face list first on white cardstock. Then put the word stamps (word down) on each line. Then I placed my block on top of the words to keep them in those places. That way I could stamp the words on each of the three images in the same places!

I finished off the cards with the LePen Bright set and some Orchid twine. I also added a border around the edges with the Sticker Stitches stamp set.

Enjoy your day!

August Planner Pages by Melanie

Welcome to day #5 of our new team introduction.  Today we feature Melanie Jarocki who was on our 2011 team.  Welcome back Melanie!  So excited to have you on the team!

Here's a bit about Melanie in her own words:

"Chocolate, papercrafting, brownies, games with the family, hot cocoa, and kids activities--these are few of my favorite things. Oh, did I mention I like chocolate? I live in the Cascade foothills will my adorably patient husband and handful of kiddos (literally, we have 5).  During the day, I am an elementary school PE teacher. At night, I cheer on my children in whatever activities they are involved in. For good measure, I also run a private piano studio. Never a dull (or quiet) moment in our home! I am so pleased to be joining the SRM Design Team again. Creating projects for my family and friends, and working alongside my kids crafting makes me happy. My style is clean and simple. I love pops of color and straight lines. SRM products are the best to add to any project. I can't even remember the last time I created something without an SRM item on it!"

-------------------------

Hello! Melanie here today and I am excited to be sharing some of my August Planner Pages with you. The new Planner stamp sets are fun to use. I started off with Birthday Plans -- because banners and stars are at the top of my favorites list :)

I used the pennant outline stamp on the Planner Banner stamp set to make a banner at the top of my monthly page. To add color to each pennant I used the ColorIn Le PlumeII markers. Then I added the cute heart stamp to every other one.

For the first week of August, I wrote in activities using a different color for each child. Hopefully that will help me keep things straight. The Marvy LePen Set was perfect for doing this!

Susan knows my kiddos are in lots of activities. I love that she sent me the Tiny Stickers Assorted Sports to add to my projects.

It is fun to add color and images to planner pages using the wide array of products SRM offers. My colorful pages make me smile each time I look at them :)

Enjoy your day!

Baseball is Life Shaker Tag by Lorena

Hello, SRM friends! It's Lorena with you today and I'm excited to be sharing a fun project for the sports lovers in your life. The new Sports Take 2 stickers are the star of the game today!

I started die cutting two round tags from cardstock and acetate. Second, I die cut a circle from the center of one the cardstock tags and adhered the acetate behind it to make the window.

On the base of the tag (which once everything is assembled will be the "inside" of the shaker area) I adhered one of the big ball images from Take 2 Stickers by the Dozen / Baseball. To fill the shaker, I die cut some cardstock sequins and stars, but the fun part was adding lots of tiny baseball balls to the mix!

I simply adhered one of the border stickers from the Take 2 Stickers by the Dozen / Baseball to a piece of white cardstock and punched them with a 1/2 inch punch.

Once the shaker mix was ready, I adhered the two tags (the base one and the acetate one) together with foam tape, leaving a small gap to pour the mix inside.

The final touches were adding the "Baseball is life" sentiment, which I put together using two different border stickers and of course some baker's Twinery Twine. I went with red and black, but grey would look nice too.

I hope you like this idea! It can be used for many different sports just by changing the color combo and using the right stickers: SRM has soccer, volleyball and basketball too!
Thanks so much for stopping by!

Basketball is Life by Shannon

★...well it is in the Morgan household…★

There's a forward, a guard, a coach and a super fan...I'm the super fan, of course. This year was pretty special because both of the *{mighty morgans}* played as #11. Eleven is one of our favorite numbers, second only to lucky #7.

Thank You Coach Card by Michelle

Michelle Giraud's daughter's Cross Country season is over and she wanted to make a special thank you card for her daughter's coach.  Using SRM's Cross Country Say it with Stickers Mini, she created this beautiful card. 

Michelle simply adhered the main sticker at the top.  

Then she adhered the definition at the bottom which left the middle to fill in with a picture and a little decoration. 

 She used the same designer paper to cover the envelope and used the quote sticker on the front of that.  

I'm sure the coach will treasure this card.  On the inside, Michelle typed up a list of milestones for the past seasons including races and times, date os sectional championshiped they had won and some funny anecdotes about the coach.  What a keepsake a card can be!

Do you know that SRM makes stickers for almost every sport?  See all the designs HERE!

Cross Country by Corrie

(Say that 5 times fast!) We absolutely love the scrapbooking skills of Corrie Jones. This 12x12 layout shows her creative style, using SRM sports stickers.

Corrie says, "At the cross country banquet for my daughter this year, a couple of the parents for the seniors had put together scrapbooks for each of the senior runners. These albums had pictures of the kids for as long as they had been running for the school - some as many as 7 years. It was pretty cool and we all got a little teary thinking how these kids were going off to college next year. Well, my daughter is just a freshman and I thought if she was going to get a scrapbook her senior year, I needed to get going on it NOW. These parents had a day and created 5 books. No way I was going to get this whole thing done in a day! So I have started. And here is one page of it. Thank you SRM, for the Cross Country stickers!"

Love the way Corrie used a Glassine Bag on her layout. Are there sports stars in your family? Click HERE to see the huge variety of SRM sport stickers!

Sports Tubes by Jamie

Looking for a unique Christmas stocking stuffer this year? Here's Jamie Cripps with a fun idea to create tubes that hold sport tickets!

Jamie says, "On each tube, I added two border stickers then tied a bow toward the bottom. I then placed the labels on white cardstock and trimmed around them and used a foam square to hold each to the appropriate tube. I finished the tubes off by adding a metal rim tag with baker's twine and adhering the Christmas tree sticker in the center of each."

Layouts by Corrie

We are thrilled to feature Corrie Jones today.  Her layouts are top notch!  First up is a sports layout using our "Express Yourself, Athlete" stickers;

Corrie also put our popular border stickers to use for this Navy layout, creating fun banners. (Our "Birthday" border stickers worked perfectly!)

Join us tomorrow for a special altered project by Liz!
