Happy National Scrapbooking Day!

I hope everyone is spending the day (or will get to spend some time today) crafting something fun. :)

I've got a new layout to share with you showcasing Kerri Bradford Studio cut files and a photo template!

I wanted this page about my oldest son's last Freshman football game of the 2013 season to have a "masculine" feel, after all this is a page about football, so I went with neutrals, pulling the reds from the colors on the uniforms and also to give the page a pop of color. 

I used a long brush stamp to add some faux "paintbrush strokes" using the MFT Jumbo Abstract Art Stamp Set stamped with Hero Arts Pale Tomato Ink along the right side of the the die cut folder (created by welding a rounded square shape and a KBS file tab from her Simplicities: Best Thing Ever Kit) and then added the die cut text from KBS Touchdown on top of the "paint". I love how it adds interest and color behind the text and how it really makes the words "pop"! 

I added additional stamped paint distressing using paint "splatters" from MFT Jumbo Abstract Art Stamp Set and MFT Abstract Art Stamo Set.

I added some small die cut text words to a 6x6 notebook patterned paper, combining "freshman" from the KBS School Years Add On Kit with "football" from the KBS Touchdown Kit. I added a realistic "notebook" edge to the top of the notebook paper using the KBS On the Edge Kit.

I asked my son for his memories from his last game of his Freshman Season and used his own words for the journaling. (I love that one day we can look back on this and actually "know" what happened in the game!) 

I included additional stamping using sports themed text from Kelly Purkey's What's Your Number Stamp Set and Game Day Stamp Set as well as the MFT  Have A Ball Stamp Set.
