It's Scrappy Monday with MCT

Welcome to Scrappy Monday! Today's challenge is to use the sketch below for your layout AND incorporate texture in the form of twine, jute, burlap, etc. Are you game!? You have until June 24 to upload your page to the My Creative Time blog. Come and play with us!

Here's my take on the sketch.


For my layout subject, I decided on these pics of my grandson, Jeffery, who graduated high school on Friday. When he first started playing sports he always chose number 7 on all of his teams. Because he was 7 years old, of course! :) 
Here he is hustling down the soccer field!

Title using My Creative Time Soccer stamp set. I cut soccer ball "O" and popped it with foam tape and added twine and a blue star to match the team colors.

This soccer ball is larger than the "O" in the 'soccer' word and the perfect embellishment. Again I popped it with foam tape for dimension. These grassy stars I cut from the parts of photos that I cropped off from the smaller ones.

  4. Ah, the mind of a child! These are great action shots. Due to my camera quality, all the action shots of my children, appear as they they move at light speed, (which they sometimes do)...A big blur, with streaks of color, and indistinguishable features. I love the way you turned all that extra grass into stars!
