COACH

This is my latest project for Cooking Up Creations.  This month's challenge is to create a project using a television game show as inspiration.  For my second project, I chose to create a layout based on the 1970's game show "Sports Challenge."  Two professional athletic teams would compete against each other answering trivia questions.  Winners would receive a cash prize that would be used to purchase athletic equipment for youth athletic programs.  So for my project, I decided to feature my favorite youth athlete and her favorite soccer coach.  This coach has been a God send to my daughter.  Not only has she taught her a much about the game of soccer, but also helped navigate my daughter through her broken leg recovery.  She is the best, and I thought she would be the perfect subject matter for a "Sports Challenge" challenge.  To pull this project together, I used a sketch created by Bev Code for my former design team Creative Inspiration.

ALL PLAY ALL DAY

This is my latest project for Sketches in Thyme using the following sketch.  For this project, I was inspired by pictures my daughter and her BFF took a few weeks ago at a local golf course.  She was having such a good time horsing, and I so rarely get her to share photos with me, that I thought she would be the perfect subject matter for this sketch.  To pull this project together, I used a variety of papers from Crate Paper's "xxx" line.

EXPLORE

This is my latest project for Cooking up Creations.  This month's challenge is to create a project based on a classic TV game show.  For my project, I picked Hollywood Squares as my featured game show.  Since the start of the pandemic, I've been walking a local nature trail almost every day and have seen amazing creatures.  I've been taking so many pictures of cool things I see that I decided to feature 3 of my favorites using the June sketch from Sketches in Thyme as my guide.  I thought the square layout would be perfect for a Hollywood Square themed project.  To pull this project together, I used a variety of nature themed papers and earth tone colors to give the project a nature vibe.

MY BEST DAYS ARE WITH YOU

This is my latest project for Sketchy Boards Challenge using the following sketch.  This month we were to create a project inspired by gears.  The other day, my daughter took our German Shepherd out for ride in her convertible, and he was in puppy heaven!  He patiently sat in the back seat letting the wind blow back his ears while his human was his chauffeur.  My daughter snapped this pic of them together, and I thought they would be the perfect subject matter for a gear themed project.  To pull this layout together, I used a variety of papers from Kaisercraft's "Workshop" collection.
