"All Bundled Up" by Lynette Jacobs
Supply list - Cardstock: Bazzill; Printed Papers: Fancy Pants (Frosted); Punches: EK Success and Martha Stewart; Brads: Art from the heart; Letter Stickers: Scenic Route


Variation #1: I punched the bottom strips instead of scalloping it.

Variation #2: I cut pine trees along the top of the wavy paper strip.


Variation #3: I matted the top photo on the second page.

Variation #4: Instead of stitching on the wavy strip I fauxed stitched with a pen around the entire piece of paper including the little pine trees.

"At the Ball Park" by Jennifer Larson
Supplies - Patterned Paper: Pink Paislee, Jillibean Soup, The Girls' Paperie, Studio Calico; Cardstock: Bazzill; Stickers: Doodlebug, Basic Grey, Studio Calico; Stamp: Jillibean Soup; Ink: Stampin' Up!; Buttons: October Afternoon; Jute: American Crafts; Adhesives: Scotch, Zig 2-Way glue, Glue Dots; Twine: American Crafts; Punch: EK Success

Variation #1: I didn't change the design too much. The major change was to eliminate the snowflakes, since this was a page about baseball.

Variation #2: I did change the scallops to pennants that I cut out of patterned paper--perfect for baseball!

"Dashing Thru The Snow" by Michele Edwards

Supplies - Cardstock: Cor’dinations, American Crafts, Bazzill, BoBunny; Patterned Paper: Pebbles; Embellishments: Snowflakes cut with die-namics, snowflakes cut with Cricut (Christmas Cartridge), glamour dust, unknown silver and silver snowflake brads; Alphabets: Cricut (Plantin Schoolbook), Floss: DMC

Variations

1. I used a 6X8 picture instead of the photoblock on the right page.

2. Instead of the scalloped edge, I used half-snow flakes in alternating blue and green. I used the snowflake edging to frame the focal picture.

3. To add sparkle, I highlighted the snowflake edging with tiny silver brads, randomly using silver snow flake brads. For even more sparkle, I used glamour dust on all the white snow flakes and the word "SNOW" in the title

4. I stitched around the curved edge of the photo mat, and again through the center of the striped strip.

5. I used journal strips rather than a journal block.

Lynette, I'm amazed at the trees that you cut out along the curve. Very impressive.

Jennifer I love that you replaced the scallop border with the pennants. I'll have to remember to do they sometime.

Michele, I like that you subbed a 6x8 photo for the 4 smaller photos and how you moved part of the title down for interest.

Michelle...stunning use of the bling.

Here we go! It is going to be a great week.

Lynette - Wow, I like how you incorporated the trees in your rolling hills. The papers you chose match your photos perfectly. Great job.

Jennifer - I am a real sports fan (more hockey than baseball) so I really appreciate a good sports layout. The banner is a great way to tie in the theme. Excellent!

Michele - Look at your puppies playing in the snow. I really love how you capture the action. Amazing details too. Great job.
