This is for the 2007 SHCG Week #27 WC-Stashoffont, which was to make a lo that includes at least two old items from our stash, one office supply, and one word in two different fonts.
Stash Items: The baseball pp is from one of those 8 1/2 x 11 Paper Pizazz sports themed pp books from the 90s! I originally bought it to scrap about my brother's teeball games. Well, he's about to turn 19, sooo... um, yeah. The red sticker alphas are from a DCWV Christmas sticker stack that's a coupla years old. The pink cs strips and the textured bg cs are also from years old DCWV stacks.
Office Supplies: I used a highlighter over the title alphas. I think the graph paper also qualifies as an office supply. It is in my workplace, anyway.
Font: I used two different sets of sticker alphas for TEAM.
The Athletics arch was cut from a poster that was distributed at the game.
This is page 5 of 5 that I scrapped for this event.
SHCG: We make team a great? are you saying we make team Athletics great? I am so cornfused...I actually like this page but I am not getting the pink stripes?
SHCG: This is really cute... what a HOT couple! ;) I also was confused at first by the pink, but after reading Tiff's comment and going back to the lo, I get it. I notice that the Oakland matches the Athletics on your other pages; I like how it ties them together. Love the overall layout also... great job!
SHCG: Great job using your stash! The title was a bit confusing to me, I would have liked to seen "team" on the bottom. I have to say though that my favorite thing about this LO besides the adorable couple on here is the awesome photo of the 85 shadow! I just think its too cool! Great job Bren!
SHCG: What? What? How did this cutie get by me? May I begin by saying that you and your husband are absolute hotties! *swoon* for the both of you. I am so stoked to see this challenge revived! It was one of the craziest and creative challenges thus far. Sharon kicked my a$$ with this one! I was going to say that I wasn't sure about the pink stripes, however... did I just notice 3 matching pink racing stripes on your jacket? Hmmm? Hmmm?? I like the photo placement here and I think you did an amazing job of incorporating all of the elements. J'adore the photo with the 85. Magnificent! It feels slightly top heavy, but for some reason I like it the way it is and can't suggest any changes. I definitely agree that you and shrubby make a great team!
SHCG: Wow, kudos first off for resurrecting this challenge while resurrecting your stash, yeah baby! I love how the green & yellow continues in the background cs & terrific use of the highlighter. The graph paper works well for this, love that cute "retro" (as in stash retro) baseball pp! Also cool w/ the double sticker title. Now, I really like the athletic feel of the stripes but the pink does throw me as well; obvious choices would be another shade of yellow, green or inked white but even a red that matches the title, or orange (or maybe blue? not sure) would work better I think. I also think the placement is a little top heavy, w/ the 2 photos on top & only 1 on the bottom; I could visualize 1 being on top, not as close to the top semi-circle/half ball, w/ 2 on the bottom row (maybe the Athletics semi-circle would have to overlap the left side of one of the pics a little, which I think would be fine). Awesome use of that poster by the way, love that you incorporated it! AND what a fantastic photo of you two, it's well lit & you both look so radiant & oh so very adorable together. A great team indeedy!! Super challenge response!
Great lo! I love the baseball pp, the way you did the title and the journaling! Great photo placement! The pink stripes are a great touch and coordinate great with your jacket! And, Yes, you two are a great team!
SHCG: Nice page. The pink strips are an interesting color choice to me, however. I may have considered something else to coordinate better (although if this is using your stash and it's all you had, I'm all for it!)
