it turns out, i had another soccer layout to share. i had created this layout recently, and submitted it to some calls. that didn't pan out, and then i sort of forgot about the layout altogether.

TimeForSoccer 

does the look of this layout seem familiar? i created THIS LAYOUT a few months back, and i really liked the page design. i'm of the mindset, that when you have something that works, use it. a few times, in fact.

i took these photos of joe and the girls, last soccer season. we had just gotten back from picture day, and i figured i would snap a few photos of them all, while they were in uniform. and not trying to capture them after a game, when they're all sweaty. lol!

last season, joe was the assisant coach for both the girl's teams. alyssa's team color was black, and the coach's wore red shirts. sarah's team color was blue, and the coach's wore blue shirts. most weeks, their games were so close in timing. or they'd overlap just a tad. so joe would bring both shirts, and while running from one game to the other (clear across the huge park), he would switch shirts. kind of funny sometimes.

i went with the colors of red, blue, black, and white. i started the layout, with this star pattern paper, from october afternoon. then i added in the red paper with little stars, the blue paper, and the grey ruled paper, all from bella blvd.

for my title, i used a mix of bella blvd letter stickers, and jillibean soup letter stickers. that blue sticker, by the soccer ball, is a super duper old one from making memories

i used my silhouette to cut out the soccer ball, and the stars, all from black cardstock. for the soccer ball, i pop dotted up the black piece, on top of the white background piece, just to add a little interest.

this pretty much sums up where we're headed. we have sarah's team meeting this evening. she moved up to under-14's this season, and after studying the list, she's the youngest one on the team. we know her coach (alyssa's coach from last season), her assistant coach (joe), their trainer (her coach from 2 years ago that took her team all the way to the top), the team parent (me), a few of her teammates, and that they'll be wearing red. 

and alyssa? well, we have her team meeting this coming sunday. she moved up to under-19's. which just sounds crazy old to me. there's this huge gap between the two age groups, under 14's and then straight to under-19's. weird. we have no clue who the coach is, or who's on the team. but we do know that she'll be wearing red as well. another year, with both girls in red. i love it!

    what a fun colored layout and design. i love all of this, different from most black/white soccer layouts. how cool that joe got to help both of them.
    you have a trainer for the team, that’s pretty serious, didn’t know they did that in schools. i think that’s a big age gap for teams too, ours isn’t like that. we have sign-ups right now also but some shocking news about our coach is putting a spin on our sign ups. good luck to all of you in the next season.

    I definitely agree about re-using sketches. I keep a journal of sketches, with the source of the sketch, date, and what page I made from it. Sometimes I go back and use old favorites. I love having them all in one organized place!
