Baseball Album

 

Here are the Bombers Baseball Albums I made for the boys this summer at their last USSSA World Series together.   This was my son's baseball team.

 Here is their baseball cap that I modeled the "B" after.

 Here is the front of the album.  It ha a paper core, and I cut out the pieces of felt by hand to fashion this beach-style album.  We played this World Series in Orange Beach, Alabama, and this was our second year to play on the beach, so I thought a beach theme would be fun.

 

Here was our t-shirt from the year before, so I used some of he decorative elements from it for the cover of the album.

 The insides of the book were pretty plain.  Just used the grey, red, and white colors, and mainly let the photos do the talking!

 The boys enjoyed looking at them!

 It was a season to remember!

Thanks for looking!

American Freedom Softball Albums and Elf Christmas Bags

 Here are the little scrapbooks I made for Macy's softball team from last year.  I made one for each girl and one for each of the two coaches.  I went with the Captain America theme...the books look like part of his shield!  lol

 Here is what the front of the album looked like.  The front and the back had a base of just chipboard that I cut out of larger sheets from Michael's.  I glued a piece of white paper down on them(so the colors would show up brightly), then painted them. 

 I punched hoes on the sides, and bound the book with rings and put ribbon on them.

 On the inside, the pages were just white paper, embellished with red white and blue patterned paper, and I embellished lightly!  My husband and I took the pics, as always, so we had plenty shots of each girl!

 Here is the little elf bag I painted for them.  I saw a bag that was similar, and I just drew the image on each bag, then painted them.  I put the album in the bag such that the ribbons on the side of the album ended up sticking up from the bag...made me think of a petticoat on a girl elf!  Also, that is supposed to be a BAT (the blue thing).  It was a funny skinny bat!  lol

Here are all of the bags underneath the tree right before they opened them at their Christmas party last year!

One thing that I added to them last minute were the little bells...to the elf shoes!  I poked a hole in the bag, put the gingle bell hole through the bag hole, then safety-pinned them on the inside, this way, the little bells actually jingled!

Hope you enjoyed looking!
