We Love Football

Not only are we ready, we love football … playing or watching. Our living room floor might as well be a football field, because we basically have a daily game. Not that there’s anything wrong with that. So with piles of football pictures in hand, I have started creating layouts about our household’s favorite past-time. This one is Play Action Pass. I have wanted to create a layout that played with 3-D space or the z-axis, but was having trouble coming up with a subject that would work. Then it hit me, football! What better way to have something flying through 3-dimensional space than a ball. Using the Random Tear template really amplified the feeling of the ball bursting through the background. I thought having the play schematic x’s and o’s coming towards the viewer with the football would be a fun touch.

Supplies Used:
Assemble Your Own: Trading Cards
Gridiron Collection Mini
ScrapSimple Embellishment Templates: Random Tears
Digital Stickers: Football

15 Seconds of Fame

“In the future, everyone in the world will be famous for 15 minutes.” – Andy Worhol

So goes the famous quote. Some people seek it out and others, fame just finds them. I don’t think I fall into either of those categories, but when ESPN’s College Game Day TV crew came knocking on our tailgate party, I figured why the heck not. I guess the crew saw a fun possibility, when they saw the lone Gopher fan in the sea of orange. So there I was, yelling for my team while the crowd yelled back for the other. We didn’t think much of it, until someone who had been at the tailgate said it ran as the opening segment for the game. For once, I was glad the games get taped in our house, so I would be able to see it. So this layout came out of that moment. Even though it was more like 15 seconds, I think it counts. Not really a glamour shot, but a fun reminder of the day, well at least for me, since the Gophers won.
