The Boys

With my daughter playing soccer for nearly 9 years, I have tons of soccer photos.  But how many layouts can you do of soccer games?  This past weekend we were in a tournament so I decided to take a different approach with the camera and this time, focus on "The Boys".  These are the fathers my husband and I spend most of the game with.  Since the tournament was not going well at all, the conversation seemed to be limited to complaints about the ref, complaints about the girls making silly mistakes, and complaints about the coaching.  No Saturday would be complete without my husband starting the day with his infamous "Oh Referee" as only he can do with his British accent!

Sketch is from Paper Secrets - love their sketches and their store!  Paper is from a Planes & Trains page kit; alphas are Recollections; speech bubble is from CTMH that I painted navy; chevrons and soccer ball cut on my Silhouette; I created the banners with Silhouette's print and cut feature; journal tag is done with a Verve stamp and EK success edge punch.  Also submitting this to ACOT's Use Your Stash challenge calling for 2 solid papers, 4 patterned papers, two different alphas, and 2 embellishments.
