Goalkeeper Layout - Creative Scrappers Sketch 220 - Les Papiers de Pandore







Yes there's another sketch up at Creative Scrappers already!
EVERY Sunday!!  


I used my new Les Papiers de Pandore papers URBANESSENCE.


This layout tells the story of how my youngest son
inadvertently became a goalkeeper, a position he
now loves and is very good at!


That stamp was taken from a parcel I received earlier
this year, sent to me by my kind friend Alison from Spain :)
I couldn't believe how well it matched and how appropriate 
it was!  Other ephemera used - mesh (from vegetable
packaging) & ticket (see below) saved from an event.


Hand journaling - simplest way to tell a story.


Drops of mist - always a good way to start a page!


Stickpins and a bulldog clip.  Metal is always
a good way to go for male embellishments.


And there you have it!  That's it for today!!
Hope you can play along with us at Creative Scrappers!

HAPPY SUNDAY EVERYONE :)

Fabulous, love how you used pink and stars on your boys page. Still inherently your style though.
I had to smile at your journaling - Caleb always wanted to bat so Josh became a really good spin bowler.

Really cool take on the sketch, Helen! Your paper choices and accents are perfect for your photo and subject!

I totally identify with this story. While playing cricket with my older male cousins, I was always assigned the position of 'first slip'. My job was to stand behind a hedge and throw the ball over whenever it trespassed into the neighbor's property...LOL!
Love the colors you have used and the embellies.
