Basketball Layout - Paper House Productions

With four active kids I have ample opportunity to do layouts about sports and other leisure activities. This year has had a lot of basketball so it was the perfect opportunity to break out the new Snapshots Basketball stickers from Paper House Productions and put them to use!

I opted to go with a single picture and use the Snapshots to highlight it.  The 8 X 8 Game Day paper pad was perfect for building my base on top of plain white cardstock.  I then added my picture to the center.

I added vertical rows of the Basketball Snapshots. I competely love that these have circles, stars, and paper clips added to them - totally makes them pop all the more!

The Basketball Die Cut Sticker Pack had exactly what I needed for a title above and below the picture. I then finished it off with a little mist, wood stars, and the fabulous new Mixed Mini Sports Balls Puffy Stickers.

I am definitely loving these new stickers and can't wait to tryout some of the other topics :)

14 Sports Layout Ideas

Sports get a lot of attention in my scrapbooking room!  

I have a sports loving family and four kiddos! 

 I am always on the lookout for some fresh ideas. 

 Today I thought I would share a roundup of layouts that include baseball, tennis, swimming, football, basketball, soccer, gymnastics, horseback riding, and bowling!  Now I know there are some missing still but that is a pretty good start!  Check 'em out!

Basketball Cupcake Toppers - SRM Stickers

I love great sports stickers and have been having so much fun playing with SRM Stickers newest sports releases!  My son recently had his first ever basketball tournament - I thought some team cupcakes were in order and I had just the right stuff to make them!  Today I am going to share with you how I used the new Take 2 Stickers by the Dozen - Basketball stickers to create cupcake toppers.

SRM Stickers has all the supplies you need to make these cupcake toppers and even personalize them with the kids numbers! #4 just happens to be my favorite because it's my kiddo :)

First off attach a basketball from the Take2: Stickers By The Dozen/Basketball Stickers to a Medium White Punched Piece. Put some adhesive on the back of the punched piece and add a toothpick to it and then top it with another plain punched piece.

Use a border from the  Take2: Stickers By The Dozen/Basketball Stickers and put it onto cardstock.  Cut it out and separate each "Basketball is Life" saying.  Adding the cardstock to it makes it easier to add to the topper without a sticky part hanging over.  I added mine all at different angles just for some added interest for myself (I am not an assembly line crafter...I do not enjoy that at all!)

Use We've Got Your Number Small/White to add each kiddos number to the toppers. As I was making them my son asked why they had random numbers on them.  He felt like a goofball after I explained that they were there actual numbers.

My son's team enjoyed having these at a special basketball tournament and I know your kids will enjoy them too! The SRM Store has stickers like these that can work for several different sports!

Coach Layout

One of my favorite things about Paper House Productions is the variety of themes that they offer. Today I am focusing on their coach themed 3D Stickers and using them to document my daughter's soccer season with her dad as coach.

I went for a very clean and simple layout today.  I built my layout around the 8 1/2 X 11 white base - adding soccer papers to it to create a background.  I then added that to a 12 X 12 blue cardstock.  I created a line border of the 3D Coach stickers as well as a cluster of them and cardstock stickers next to the picture. I added a green chevron shape to add a pop of color and draw the eye towards the pictures.  My finishing touch was just some wood stars and enamel dots.  That seems to be my finishing touch of choice most of the time right now!  I opted to let my daughter do the journaling and added that to the back so it was private between her and daddy. 

Supplies Used:

Stickers: Paper House Productions

Patterned Paper: Paper House Productions

Cardstock: Core'dinations

Wood: Studio Calico

Enamel Dots: Simple Stories

Tennis Layout - Paper House Productions

As I have mentioned before, I really enjoy doing theme scrapbooking, not exclusively but definitely as part of my regular routine.  Paper House Productions has a great selection for sports themed products and today I have a tennis layout to share!

My brother works in sports media so my little nephew has access to a variety of sports.  One that he has recently started to love is tennis!  I asked my sister-in-law to send me some cute tennis pics so I could scrap them.  This layout came together very quickly once I got the basic design of it set up! 

I used the same paper twice - cutting off the corner with the ball and adding it to the base paper.  I then cut a tennis title on my silhouette and decided I liked it on an angle.  I added the pictures surrounding the title and then simply embellished with cardstock stickers, enamel dots, and stars.  Funny little fact on this one: it could totally sit a different direction (flip it 90 degrees) and still look good!  That doesn't happen very often!

Supplies Used:

Patterned Paper: Paper House Productions

Enamel Dots: Studio Calico

Cardstock: Recollections

Now on to my project that I have to share with you!

One of my favorite things about Paper House Productions is that they have sports themed products for pretty much every sport.  My family as a whole is very into sports so this is perfect for us!  I have done several projects featuring their sports lines and will share those links with you - but today I have a brand new one to share featuring my daughter's swim team picture.

Isn't that background paper so fun!?! I added lots of details to it to make it my own including letters, wood, stars, washi tape, and a little bit of outlining.  But the best part is - her picture is still the star!
