Yay!! The weekend is here! That's something to "cheer" about!!
It's time for another Scrap and Stamp Saturday Challenge. This week's challenge is: Ribbon.
This week's sponsor is:
Ribbon!! Easy, peasy, right?! You would think so...but I over-thought the process, papers, stamps, and pictures...changed my mind a gazillion times...so I ended on settling for a large thick satin ribbon!! So many possibilities and I went with "simple"...after spending days reworking my total thought process!! LOL
And here is the final result...
This past fall, Ansley took Cheerleading after school once a week. They don't have sports team, it was just cheerleading for fun. So at the end of the season, they had a program at a local High School gym to show their routines and cheers to the parents.
It's hard to see in the picture, but the ribbon is satin centered-reversable ribbon. The photo below may show it a little better. It at least shows that it is shiny on the outside and matte on the inside, but if you turn it over, it's opposite...
The sketch on both sides is from Sketch Thursdays. Here's the left side...
Yes, that is Ansley in the air. It think they call that the "flyer". She was one of the smallest on the team. Of course, that was before she busted her head open in February when she fell off a chair. I guarantee she wouldn't be a flyer if she was in cheerleading right now!! She still has a bump from the fracture and just recently was released to play contact sports. But as I look at this picture, I want to walk up to her an tell her "get down before you bust your head open"!! LOL Gotta love "hindsight"!!
The background paper was a specialty paper from SU from a few years ago. It is Kraft with tiny stripes. Then I randomly stamped a few stamps from an old SU cheerleader set to create a special patterned paper...
I also used "Let's Go Team" from Wags 'n Whiskers...
The image was embossed in black and watercolored with Twinkling H2Os.
Now it's your turn!! Let's see your layouts using ribbon. Just remember, you must use at least one stamp on your layout to be entered into the drawing for the prize from the sponsor.
