I Live For This

Hey there! Today I'm sharing a layout on the Paper Issues blog for our Opening Day challenge.

Oh I couldn't pass this one up. No way! Baseball is my favorite sport and has been since I was younger. What a better topic for my page today than, well, Opening Day!  I get so excited as spring approaches. I just cant wait!  Every year on Opening Day we have a baseball party complete with hot dogs, Cracker jacks and apple pie.

Ok, well, enough about that. Let's get down to business. I grabbed some My Minds Eye Blast Off for this! What? Space theme for a baseball page! Yes! I think I will! I love to use products in different, unintended ways! The bright primary colors in this will be perfect.  

I started with the Have a Ball cut file that Made into a border. Look how cool all those papers look behind them. Who needs a standard red & white ball anyway? Next up, the title. How about another cut file?  This time Lower Case Open Alpha which Cut from the Galaxy stripe paper.

To round out this page, I had to add some A Flair for Buttons flair. It was one more round element and I had the two perfect ones! Today from the Hexagon Love Boy set and the Heart from the Face Flair set.  Lastly, you know me, I need to add all my little bits! All the dots are brads and Nuvo drops!

Thanks so much for stopping by my creative view. That's all I have for you today. I have to get back to watching some baseball games! I really do live for this! You can find more about this page on my blog. I hope I've given you some ideas for using themed stuff in other ways!
