Theme Challenge - SPORTS

[Cassel]

 

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.

[Michele]

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.

[Ann Seeber]

The sport is Roller Skating, and the star is great-granddaughter Magic. (Who else? ;-) )

[Bonnie Ballentine]

More basketball...

[Ann Seeber]

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! :-)

[Bonnie Ballentine]

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.

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.

 

 

[Rene Marker]

They coached the team again in 2020. Both are older layouts I did for a book I gave to them.

 

 

[Michele]

Bonnie, I love AnnieC 's templates. She's always my favorite in the ALFLT.

[Bonnie Ballentine]

Mine too, Michele, although, I do like Julie Fish also.

More pickleball

[Bonnie Ballentine]

2 of my pickleball friends. Both have become excellent players.

[Ann Seeber]

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!

[Bonnie Ballentine]

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.

[Bonnie Ballentine]

Pickleball and basketball...sort of...and the friendships we develop through sports.

[Ann Seeber]

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)

 

[Bonnie Ballentine]

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.

[Ann Seeber]

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.
