Today's LO is brought to you courtesy of About a Boy. Today is March 1 and that means time for a new challenge: Use old products, (at least one year old), on your page. Well, that was easy enough. I have stuff in my stash that I've had for 5+ years...(I probably should use that stuff...).
Anyway, I decided to go sports for this one. I know I've had these papers for almost 3 years. I bought them right before we moved in 2010.
I adapted a sketch from Scrapbook Generation. Thanks to them, I realized I could cut the Cubs paper and use it on both sides of the LO. Kind of a *duh* moment. Why didn't I ever think of using pre-designed paper that way before????' Well, that was all it took for the rest of the LO to come together. I sliced into the large baseball and tucked the photo into it. I love using the "baseball" stitch, and was happy to be able to add it here. With so many photos and pre-embellished paper, lots of extra embellishments weren't necessary, so I just played into the theme and added the baseball 'gear'. Is it my most artistic LO? No, but it is clean and tells a great story.
I hope yo will create a LO using your old stuff and post it over at About a Boy
