Be proud of who you are

Happy Sunday!  It's a hot one today.  We survived an early morning baseball game with a big win!

And I still had time to enjoy a quiet afternoon at my desk.

I put together this page for a challenge from Creative Embellishments.

For the background, I chose an off white sheet with a very subtle pattern.  Then I used a quick and light spray of a wood colored Misting Spray.

I used some texture paste on some piece3s of chipboard and then went over them with some Liquid Pearls.

To fill in some of the empty spots, I added a few buttons.

This is inspirational photo for this month's challenge along with a few gears to complete the challenge:

Take me out to the Ballgame

 I swore I was not going to scrap anything this month unless I worked on some unfinished projects.

Well, I finished up a painting project, so I gave myself a treat and worked on a page.

I thought about this one all morning.

Since I told myself this was going to be my only page this weekend,  I wanted to take my time with it.

My first inspiration came from this month's Tic Tac Toe board from Stacy:

I chose to use the journaling card, a tag and some circles.

I used a few baseball stickers as my circles.

My second point of inspiration was the June sketch from Rochelle Spears:

A lot of these elements have been around for a long time.

I took the time to go through everything in the stash and carefully choose a few items that I could use.

Then, as I binge watch Criminal Minds, I worked on matching things up.

The baseball equipment  and  Mickey Mouse were a much older set of stickers from Jolee's.

Ive been missing working with Disney, so this was a quick opportunity for me to get it out of my system for a while.

It may or may not have worked...
