High noon crop- Baseball at its best

Ok, these pictures are of my oldest son last year. He has "caught" one of my illnesses - that would be "baseball fever" - particularly METS baseball fever. He is the only one of the three of them who has - my daughter likes the Yankees (because her husband does) and my youngest isn't as crazy about baseball as Jeremy and I are - although he LOVES to go to live games. He was also at this game.

 

This game was my "Mother's Day present - although we went in August. I didn't care. When they were younger, I would take them to Shea Stadium every Mother's Day that the Met's played at home. They still talk about a grand slam hit to end the game at one of our visits. This game was a 16 inning one ending at 2 in the morning - wth the Mets winning - which made that two-hour drive back much better!

 

I used the following stuff for this layout:

 

The "bases" are this journaling tag (altered)

So is the pitcher's mound.

 

The stiches are:

The photo corners are:

(I did not realize I had all four of these until AFTER I was done rotating all of them - THAT could have saved me some time!)

 

The blue paper is:

The terracotta paper is:

I can't believe that's all this took with all the sizing and resizing I did. Geez....

I love how you applied the baseball theme to the whole layout, including composition. Great choice of teams too! I'm so sorry about your daughter and the Yankees. Maybe it's not too late to save her.

ROTFL!!! THIS was PRICELESS! I MUST remember this because I am SURE there will be a time when I can USE it to my best advantage! TOO FUNNY!

What a wonderful memory to scrap! That's so sweet, a Mother's Day present in August - hey, I'd take one any time of the year, especially if it meant spending one-on-one time with one of my kids. :)

 

Terrific job with the challenge! That's neat how you incorporated the baseball diamond. Cool job with the stitching, too. TFS :)
