Day 67: Soccer Layout

I completed a two-page soccer layout for my son's scrapbook very quickly.  It just seemed to come together! I used soccer ball paper from The Paper Studio for my backgrounds.

My left-hand page just looks like one big soccer ball.  Then I have a horizontal 5" x 7" photo centered 0.75" from the top of the page.  I have two 3.5" x 4.5" photos that I placed on the bottom corners of the larger photo, angling them inward.  I used a soccer ball and a "swoosh" sticker in the space created by the three photos.  I cut a 2" x 12" border from a photo paper of grass and adhered it 0.50" from the  bottom of the page.   I thought the grass title strip tied the page all together, since all you see when you take photos of soccer games is lots and lots of grass! I used a 1.5" x 4.5" "Soccer" border by Laserline in the center of my "grass" strip.  On the left side of the "Soccer" title, I used stickers to spell out the month and on the right side of the title, I used numbers to create the date (these stickers from Creative Memories).

My right hand page is a black background with multiple photo images of soccer balls repeated over and over. I had 5 photos that I wanted to use, but a couple of them were shots from far away, and I wanted to be sure years from now we would be able to see our son, so I cropped out a lot of the background and made really narrow pictures. I angled them off from my longer photos.  I used some epoxy soccer embellishments from Creative Imaginations to add some visual interest, and this layout was complete!
