Spring Soccer 2009

Although I’m trying to get caught up on my older photos from 2005 and 2006, I really wanted to scrapbook these pictures from Spring soccer. I used the Game On paper packet which was perfect for these pictures.

I love this picture of Susie in the bottom right hand corner. She looks like she’s flying with both of her feet off the ground. She loves playing soccer and loves scoring goals. Her record was 5 goals in one game.

This was John Paul’s first soccer tournament on the Port City Storm team. The team traveled to Charlotte, NC and placed second in their division.

I used one of the Level 1 pages from the Game On kit. I also used the Best Shot stamp set. One of the great things I love about CTMH’s acrylic stamps is that you’re able to change the shape of the stamp. Check out how I angled the phrase “take your best shot” around the curve of the paper. So cool.

It's a Thanks a Bration!

You do so much for everyone else. Let Close to My Heart do something for you!
