This month, the theme should be an easy one. We probably all have some sports photos, whether it is an activity we do ourselves, our children, or grandchildren. It can be a sport we do or a sport we like to watch.
And add stories to those photos too!
Let’s go!
Getting in on this one early. This year I did the swim 22 challenge, swimming 22 miles (the distance of the channel) over a period of nearly 3 months. So my sport is swimming. This is me in my costume after I got out of the pool the day i finished my 22nd mile.
I just wanted to share this previous layout I did for the Mud Bog that we hold on our property. It’s like a Jeep Rallye, I guess, and everyone has a great time! It’s not a competition, just a lot of fun.
I found this in my files already downsized to 600 so I guess I must have shared it here at some point. The pic is my nephew and his two boys.
I have 2 already made and downsized layouts in my projects folder which I did last year. I have shown them earlier and in it are my 2 granddaughters and their favorite sport. Last year I printed these and send them by mail to the girls and when I was visiting last May those printouts had pride of place in their rooms.
I have so many sport layouts…
Another basketball layout.
The sport is Roller Skating, and the star is great-granddaughter Magic. (Who else? 😉 )
More basketball…
Bonnie: That’s very effective. The ball looks cut into the background, rather like the sports cards. The use of sections of the basketball as masks is striking! The NSG should hire you! 🙂
LOL, Ann…thank you. The ball is a AnnieCdigitals template…one of the few templates I have purchased. BTW, the Love for Layout Templates blog train launched yesterday…free templates. https://www.facebook.com/groups/1615483965431254
Another basketball layout but not me or my team this time. Lily is a friend’s daughter and that’s her Dad.
Pickleball layout from 2018
My friend is pretty good at pitching horseshoes. 2018 South Carolina Senior Sports Classic
My cousin and his son-in-law coached the church basketball team for his grandson in 2019.
They coached the team again in 2020. Both are older layouts I did for a book I gave to them.
More pickleball
2 of my pickleball friends. Both have become excellent players.
Bonnie: Your Legends page is beautiful! Is it from a template or did you do the design yourself? And the colors are gorgeous, too! Have your friends seen it yet? You go woman!
Ann, the page is from 2019. I’m pretty sure it is a template. I am leaving soon for a tournament. I will look for the template when I return. Yes, they have seen…thank you for your kind words.
Pickleball and basketball…sort of…and the friendships we develop through sports.
Here is my granddaughter, Anna, practicing TAEKWONDO. It is a Korean martial art and an Olympic event. Here are the details of my layout:
- Template Lab 12-06
- South Korean Flag Palatte
- Kit- papers-marisaL-presence-mini
- Title font – Banana Pancake
- S.Korean/USA flag brad – Google search
- Taekwondo graphic – Google search
- Blue ribbons – changed from pink via Target Brush
- Heart scatters – jmadd-choose to shine (just because she’s my love)
Love your page, Ann. Your title font is perfect! I find the hardest part of creating a layout is choosing a font. Sometimes my creations stall for days because of that.
I have searched for the template used in Legends…have not found it yet. I’m sure I used a template. It would never occur to me to use all those ribbons or round photos. Templates do help me to stretch more.
Bonnie: Thank you for that. Regarding fonts, I find it helps to consult my Nexusfont app which has to be open when I’m using PSP, so I have it open automatically when I turn the computer on. With it I can type in the word and scroll through the fonts in a larger format than the font tool in PSP. Fun fact, I had a totally different font and even did a font cutter in that layout at first but hadn’t put the word in Nexusfont. I did that this morning on a whim and wow! that new font “Banana Pancakes” looked perfect for the Korean sport.
Ann, font cutter?
I have The Font Thing and AMP Font View…maybe I should try Nexus.
Sorry, Bonnie! I should have said Text Cutter. It’s on the toolbar under the word Action, between Presets and Fonts. There’s a preview button and a cutter button.
Nice layout Bonnie. The text cutter was covered in the last Master Class webinar – Title Work 3.
