Our little Miss Laura Vegas is soooo making me want summer . . . or wait, spring . . .  with this softball page! (Don’t like too much heat.  :) ) Having done many-a sports here and the fact that we’re winding down with kids in the home, I kind of miss going to the ballpark . . . or football field in the fall. Going to the ballpark was part of my ‘going out with Dan’ before (and after) we were married. So it all started there. Many years ago.





[ Shapes | Background Basics (green circles) + The Ol’ Ballgame (title and star accents) ]


Love her use of the circle background . . . using it as a border and all!

Fabulous Laura!


Here’s what Laura has to say:

I have been wanting to scrap these photos of my daughter Alyssa, from her first year playing softball, for a while now. It was also her last year playing softball too, since she quickly learned that her true passion lied in soccer. I choose to use “The Player” title from The Ol’ Ballgame kit, because I knew my journaling would center more about Alyssa as the player and how she felt about the game, and not so much around the actual softball game. I also used one of the backgrounds from Kerri’s new Background Basics kit. I LOVE cutting backgrounds on my Silhouette. Since I am still working with the Silhouette SD, and havn’t managed to snag a Cameo yet, I usually just cut a portion of the shape, so that it covers a 3-4 inch wide section of my layout. 




And on a completely unrelated note, on Sunday me and my girls went to listen to Kade Bearnson report back from his mission to Raleigh NC in Lisa’s ward. They sure do grow up in two years! He did an amazing job speaking too. Being there was almost like a little mini CK reunion as well. It was fun seeing people I hadn’t seen in some time. But the biggest surprise of them all? That would be Becky Higgins! She and her hubby were up our way for something and thought it would be cool to come hear Kade speak. Shocked the heck out of us! Not a person I was expecting to see there. She took a photo of me, her + Kristy Banks that I need to get a copy of too. ;)





Oh. And in case you didn’t see this on Facebook yesterday?
This happened.
