Day 214: Tag Football

For this football layout, I used paper from Bella Blvd as the background on the left page.  I framed my son's team photo and individual photo with a frame from Wild Asparagus. I used a similar color green card stock from Stampin' Up! as background for the Joe Namath quote and the grid with the chipboard football icons. The grid stamp was actually part of a 6-frame postage stamp by Just for Fun. Ink was StazOn by Tsukineko.The chipboard title and football icons are by Little Yellow Bicycle. The "leather" corner triangles have been in my stash for ages.  They are from Fresh Cuts by Rebecca Sower.

The right page features paper from Jillibean Soup.  I simply added some orange photo corners (paper by Bo Bunny) to bring out the orange shirts of the players and to give a little pop from the busy background. I had some sports stickers in my stash, and added the football and helmet to give the page a little more dimension.

While these two pages aren't matchy-matchy, I think the green on the left page ties in with all the grass in the photos on the right page.  I also needed something to brighten those dark photos, since they were taken in the early evening and the light was not optimal. I think the orange shirts were tied in on both pages with the use of the orange photo corners.
