Social Media Round Up | Baseball + Football Mini Collections

Hey there everyone! It's time for another Social Media round up and this week we are excited because it's the first week that our Creative Team has had the chance to start working with our latest collections! This week they are playing with two of our new Sports Mini Collections, the Baseball and Football collections - just in time for the start of football season and the final stretch for those baseball series play-offs!

First up is Jamie and her super fun idea of documenting a whole sports career! Jamie tells us a little more about this super fun ideal for documenting sports below! This traveler's notebook was created to record this little guy's sports career as he starts this fall. The idea was to tell his story, (he really wants to play football but his Mama won't let him), to add photos and journaling to this traveler's this fall season as he plays soccer for the first time in a community league. Because I love a traveler's size book, I thought this would be a great way to readily add photo+words every week in an attempt to tell this story in particular. And a great way to use the the sports collections. - Jamie Pate

Football: Game Time Papper Borders & Details, Pennants, Fundamentals Stickers, Ephemera

Jamie created this beautiful neutral page, really leaving the gold foil to shine as the major accent feature! The addition of the black hearts brings dimensional interest and draws the eye even closer in to that gold foil! We love how she used the Clear Cuts sheet as a background, patterned "paper", too! Love it!
