Before I start my post for today, be sure to stop by on December 2!
JustRite will be sponsoring a blog hop featuring last minute gift ideas. It's sure to be a fun time!

Now for my post. I thought I would start out by showing you some of the scrapbook pages I worked on at the
scrapbooking retreat I went to recently. I worked on the girls' albums and did mostly their sports pages.

Sports are huge to our family. I am so thankful to have two, over the top talented little sports nuts for daughters too.

So needless to say, I take a ton of photo at the games, always trying to get that perfect shot.

Then when it comes time to scrapbook, I am in photo heaven......and photo overload too! :) Lots and lots of photos but we LOVE to look at the albums.

While I was still in sports mode, I wanted to create something for my girls. I decided to make them some book marks with their school colors and some basketball embellishments.

I found this great sentiment *Dream Big* by Just Rite that worked perfect for what I wanted to create. I used the new set called
Just A Note Borders and Corners which fits into the new
2" Square Stamper. I also like the fun curly swirly border of the new
2" Frames set. I colored the little butterflies in with an orange
Copic Sketch marker and then used Glossy Accents and some glitter to add a little
bling.

I made my bookmark by cutting out a
Classic Long Megabilities rectangle and Long Scalloped Megabilities rectangle using Spellbinders die templates. The longer shape is perfect for bookmarks. I finished off the bookmarks with
Papertrey patterned paper and some basketball themed stickers.

For the back of the bookmarks, I added a white rectangle to match the size on the front. I wrote this note on the back to my girls: "Aim for the net but always keep reaching for the stars. You can do anything in life you want to do. Always keep reaching. Dream Big. Love Mom."

Are you kidding me? You even have a magical touch for sports themes too! Your talents just never end. We are a sports family too. My son plays baseball and football and my daughter is a little soccer star! Now I need to go make bookmarks!! Too cute!! Happy Thanksgiving to you and your family!
i love your ideas. The basketball stuff is so great!
These are awesome!! Great memories to share later on.
I love your bookmarks. I so want that square Just Rite stamper. I showed it to my husband so maybe he will get it for me.
LOVE, LOVE, LOVE the basketball pages..my daughter plays basketball along with volleyball & softball and I can not tell you what a struggle it is to do the sports layouts...wishing someone would come up with a girls sports line that is not pink, purple & frilly but still girlie....would love to see more of you sports layouts!...
