Scrapbook Challenge


The scrapbook challenge on Stamp TV this past week was to create a summer page.  I haven't been to the beach yet this summer, so thought I would use Melanie's stamp sets: Just So Sporty and Sporty Accessories to create another page for my oldest son's baseball scrapbook.
This time I scored every 1/2" of the 8 1/2" wide piece of the So Saffron cardstock.  I took the baseball bat image and stamped it vertically between the scored lines, followed by some sponging with So Saffron ink.  I wanted to stagger the pictures to show the sequence of events in his "at bat" (though in the first one he was swinging too early and sadly I missed the actual hit...digital cameras are nice but sometimes it is tricky figuring out the slight delay). Either way, I loved the slide! :o)  We are big baseball fans...  Any Red Sox fans out there???
Here is a close up of the actual scoring I did...
I have one more thing to share today...a sneak peek of my card for the Sketch Girls Challenge this coming Thursday....  Believe me, it is a great sketch!!!  I even used a new stamp I bought at the recent Stamp&Scrap Art Tour in Winston-Salem...


Have a great day!!!

I loved the way you scored and stamped the background paper. A lot of love went into making this wonderful page

I can't beleive you stamped that whole background page. But the bat images really do lend to the theme. Fun idea to capture an "at bat".
