SHCG: I LUV your bowling bowl shaped photos and extra bowling bowls. I miss some of your great journaling maybe it is on the next page. The color scheme is interesting. I also don't quite get the waves but whatever floats your boat. PS I know we are constently telling each other to ink the edges of photos but I am rethinking that one and cleaner edges on your lower photos may have looked better then inked.
SHCG: I consider myself to be a multi-photo scrapper, yet I can't seem to get my hands to squeeze in as many photos as effectively as you do. You also have a knack for using color shemes that are unexpectedly harmonious. Another stylistic surprise you usually employ on your pages, are the embellies you craft out of simple paper shapes, as you did here with the circles that mimic the bowling balls. I like the diamond pp, too. I have a few minor suggestions. I don't think the waves are the right complement to your lo's subject. Instead, I see long, skinny arrow heads like the ones you see in bowling lanes. I also think the picture of your nephew (?) in the orange shirt needs to be pushed over a little bit to the left, to fill some of that space, and move the bowling ball down a little bit from the matted photo. So cute that Flat Sarah is included in this family event and that she made a spot on your lo. Looks like another great time among your family. Great contribution to the BWC.
SHCG: You never cease to amaze me how you find new and interesting ways to incorporate so many photos and journal! What a fun 2 pager both in style and in the events you managed to capture!
SHCG: Sharon, as always I bow down to your fantastic abililty to create multi-photo layouts that truly rock! Your family seems like such fun! I have not peeked at the second page, but the one thing I crave here (that you might not need, but future generations might appreciate) are little strips identifying people in the photos. Otherwise, I think this is flawless! Super job!
SHCG: What a great 2-pager! I love the little playing cards you added. The papers are really nice and I like how you matted the top picture with the same middle paper. Looks like you guys had a ball. Love that you included the Flat Sarah, what a great memory. Great job :)
SHCG: I love this two pager. I love Flat Sarah. just too cool. You rocked the multiple pics here blushbabe! The only thing I can suggest is to put a light faux stitching around the pics that don't have mats to make them pop a bit more...kwim? Love the colors and the cards are too cute.
This is the left side of my response to ~Alma Scrapera~/Nitza's “A Good Sport” challenge for SHCG to do a sports related LO. I actually scrapped this right before the challenge was posted but thought it fit because it focuses on how my family went bowling then played miniature golf the day after Christmas '05 while vacationing in Texas.
PLEASE excuse the imperfect scan; there's more of a margin all around that got cut off, esp from the right & top.
My immediate family (parents, 3 siblings, 2 sibling-spouses, 4 nephews & a niece) all live in different states so we try to get together for either Christmas or Thanksgiving every year. It makes our time together even more special & fun since we're apart most of the year.
I just HAD to use those mini-playing cards on this, even though this isn't a card-related LO. I thought they evoked a cool “gaming” feel to this, plus they were so cute. I used the Joker card (because we all laugh a lot when we're together) plus the 6 of hearts (for my parents, my 3 siblings & me).
One funny thing about bowling was that we had been helping my niece w/ her Flat Stanley project (in her case, Flat Sarah), photographing a paper cutout of her in various places in NY. We brought Flat Sarah w/ us to Texas for the holidays & even took her bowling w/ us as you can see from the bottom center pic!
