“Touch Football” by Sue Althouse
Supplies - Cardstock: Bazzill; Patterned Paper: Echo Park (This & That), My Mind's Eye (Follow Your Heart); Alphabet: Jillibean Soup (Corrugated Kraft Alphas), Echo Park (This & That); Inks, Mists: Creative Memories (Brown Chalking Ink); Tools: Creative Memories Square Punch; Stickers: Echo Park (Dots & Stripes), Element Stickers (orange sticker); Brads: Echo Park (This & That); Ribbon/Twine: My Mind's Eye (Follow Your Heart yellow twine), We Are Memory Keepers Sew Easy (orange floss)

With a row of photos spanning the layout, this sketch suggested a sequence of events to me. Along with the neutral and cool colors, I made sure to add pops of orange and yellow for energy. After all, this is a page about a football game!

Variation #1 - Made a one-page layout.

Variation #2 - Used four 3x3 photos.

Variation #3 - Added a banner border across the bottom.

Variation #4 - Replaced the rectangle pieces with one patterned paper strip.

Variation #5 - Moved the journaling to below the photos.

Variation #6 - Added more banners in the upper left corner.
