My son is a freshman and lettered in Bowling. He is not interested in a letterman's jacket at this time, so I am scrappin' it!! He also received a certificate from his coach. I wasn't sure how I wanted to put it together because the certificate is so big. I decided to create a back drop for the certificate.
I welded the square from George to the letters and numbers from Doodletype. I used a cicle from George for the letter "O" and made three smaller circle finger holes in it. I cut out the letters and numbers in white. Sometims I weld the shadow of the letter to the shape then cut out the letters normal, but this time I wanted to cover the black background entirely.
I used paper I found at Archivers. My nearest Archivers is about a 25 minute drive and I only get there a couple of times a year.
Very cute layout!
ReplyDeleteWow, Lori. That's a really nice layout! I love it! You've really been doing some really great projects!
ReplyDeleteIsn't that funny? My son earned a varsity letter last year & we got him a jacket. It's like pulling teeth to actually get him to wear the darn thing. Kids....
ReplyDeleteLove the layout.
Lori, this is a beautiful LO! Don't you just love the gypsy and all you can do with it? I like how you kept the white letters the same size... looks great as usual! Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteGreat layout, Lori! I never got a letter jacket, but I've got bunches of letters from volleyball...I should do what you did! What a fab idea! You're getting really good with that Gypsy! :)
ReplyDeleteIt's funny that you said you only go to Archivers only a few times a year because it's 25 minutes away....ALL the stores are 25 minutes away from me! lol Just part of livin' in the country, I guess! How I miss civilization, lol :)
I forgot to mention that between my house and Archivers, I can get to 2 different Hobby Lobby stores and 2 different Michaels stores. If I go 5 minutes in the opposite direction, I can go to a third Michaels store.
ReplyDeleteI would HATE to live far away from all the stores!!!
Love the bowling layout I bowl and have tons of pages to get started might have to lift this one . I too could not live somewhere if there were no craft stores close-by, thats the only stores I shop in except to get a few groceries when I have too.
