Chris' Scrapbook

Today I would like to start sharing with you an ongoing project I have. For those that don't know, in addition to his normal 9 to 5 job, my husband is also a freelance sports photographer. (If you are interested, here is a link to his web site). He started up this business a couple of years ago and has been getting published more and more. Yesterday he was at Barnes and Noble picking up a magazine that he knew he had just got a picture published in and picked up another magazine and started flipping through it. Turns out he found 4 of his pictures in that magazine! When he got his first couple of photos published I decided to start him a scrapbook where I would have the actual photograph that he took alongside the published work (baseball card, magazine clipping, etc.). At the time he only had four baseball cards, so I scrapped those and put them in an album and gave them to him for Christmas that year. Since then I have been adding to it as he gets more stuff. So since he got a boatload yesterday (which now makes me way behind on getting all the new stuff scrapped) I thought I should share the pages I have done here. Posting something every week. So, here is what I have for you today:

This page is for the first baseball card he got with one of his photo's on it. On the page, I have the photo that he took and a copy of 2 different baseball cards that were made from it. There were other versions of the card produced (different colors, etc), but the same layout, so I don't have copies of each. In the photo log at the bottom I have journaled the name of the player, where the picture was taken, which game it was taken at, and the date. The photo log stamp is from a retired Stampin' Up! set called Trading Collection. I just attached the cards with photo corners because he would kill me if I damaged the cards by putting adhesive on them! In this album I have been keeping the pages pretty simple. I figure for this type of book, fancy embellishments wouldn't be appropriate (or appreciated by my husband!). So these pages are definitely guy focused.

Thanks for looking! I will post another page next week. Stay tuned!
