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."Before I go check out this Just Rite Announcement: It's a Black Friday 5 Day Sale...Take 20% off all JustRite Products (excluding November Releases).

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!...
