Lucky Me

I had the pleasure of working with the Lucky Me papers from Little Yellow Bicycle this month from Croppin' Paradise. I just loved the blues and greens and yellows in this paper. It went beautifully with some baseball photos I've had of my hubby and son. I've been hanging onto this photo for a while, just waiting for the right paper.


I used kraft cardstock as the base. I played with that photo in photoshop and spot colored their hats. They were sitting in the 3rd row behind home plate at a Dodger game last summer and they were soooo excited!!! These 2 bleed Dodger Blue!

I loved the canvas letters from the Lucky Me line!!

Here's another one with my 2 cuties. They took a tour of Dodger stadium last summer and here they are...sitting in the Dodger dugout. Who knows...maybe Andre Ethier was sitting in the same spot the night before!!

I added some tied ribbons and buttons to the side. Because there is always room for buttons!!


I always feel like spring is coming when my husband and son start getting excited for baseball season. They've been watching preview shows on all the teams, my hubby is gearing up for his fantasy baseball draft...when the season starts, he basically eats, sleeps, and breathes baseball!

Have a great Thursday, everyone!!

Heh, great layouts! :) I'm glad my husband hasn't started worrying about baseball just yet... although he does have March Madness to occupy him now...

Gosh Mara, these LOs should be published! I love those papers and the photos are great! I like how you weren't afraid to include flowers, ribbon and buttons on them even though they were "guy-ish"!
