The Big Ticket

A quick and easy Jillibean page to share today! I used lots of bits and pieces from the Game Day Chili collection. There isn't much of this collection left in the store, so get it while you can!

Max plays a ton of baseball all Summer long. He is extremely dedicated to the game despite the fact that every team he has been on has had a sub par record. That elusive winning season had always been just out of reach. Until this past Summer. He tried out and made a new travel team comprised of players from many different high schools in our area. Including some private schools where the competition and playing level are quite fierce. This team was different and he knew it right from the start. He immediately bonded with his new teammates and coaches. They gave him the respect that no other team had given him. That respect blossomed inside of him and gave Max the playing confidence he had always been missing. He began to have his best season ever defensively and offensively. His batting average soared and his teammates gave him the nickname "Big Ticket." Max was so proud of that name and wore it with pride all summer long. The team excelled and began to win many games and tournaments. It was by far the best summer Max had ever had.

It's been a month.

And boy has it been one. Crazy with work after CHA. My mother had a seizure after 25 years of being seizure free. Baseball and Lacrosse practices have started. (Gotta love Spring Sports that begin in February!) I got a stomach flu that put me down for a few days. Moms are not allowed to be sick you know!

Despite the crazy, I have found a few spare moments to scrap a few pages. I am finally putting the finishing touches on my Disney 2010 and 2011 trips. I can't believe I have taken this long to complete them.

Here are a few projects of mine that were in the Jillibean booth at CHA. Can you tell which new collection I love most?!?!

This page was on the Jillibean Blog last week. I used lots of paper from the Watermelon Gazpacho Soup collection and some of the Epiphany Crafts Tools and Epoxy Shapes. The pictures are actually from our Disney Trip from May 2010!

Also - Scrapbook Update had a great post about the Jillibean CHA Booth last week, check it out here!

Anyone headed to the Great Lakes Mega Meet in Novi on Thursday? I will be there Thursday through Saturday helping at the Jillibean booth. If you go, make sure to stop by and say Hi! There will be lots of great products and some surprises!

Did you love the Watermelon Gazpacho Soup I shared? Well now there is more to love - Unity Stamps to match! Jill and I went through many many rounds of design to come up with just the right stamps for cards and pages. I can't wait to get these in hand and make something cute for Summer. I received my papers late last week and I can honestly say that they are my favorite Jillibean papers ever.

It Suits You is an Itty Bitty
