San Jose Giants Page

Today I have another page for you from Chris' scrapbook. You can see my original post for all the details of this project, or click here to see all the pages I have posted so far. This page is for a photo of the San Jose Giants baseball team after they won the 2007 League Championships. The Giants used the photo in their 2008 program on the schedule page, it appeared in the pocket schedule, and that small square is actually a magnet that came as part of the magnetic schedule. There is also a 5 x 7 of the actual photo and for the journaling I used the "For the Record" set by Autumn Leaves and my Stampin' Up! spiral punch.

Edinson Volquez Page

Today I have another page for you from Chris' scrapbook. You can see my original post for all the details of this project, or click here to see all the pages I have posted so far. This page is for a photo that was published as one of the baseball insert cards in Sports Illustrated Kids magazine. For this, I scrapped a copy of the card, a 5x7 of the photo, and then printed out a copy of the cover of the magazine. I used photo corners for the card so I wouldn't have to tape it down and damage the card. For the journaling I used the "For The Record" set by Autumn Leaves.

Strike 1

Today I have another page for you from Chris' scrapbook. You can see my original post for all the details of this project, or click here to see all the pages I have posted so far. I call this page Strike 1 because it is an error card, so to speak. This photo was published as a baseball card, however the name of the player and the team that he plays for is incorrect on the card! Chris admits that it was his fault as he submitted it incorrectly to the card company, however I told him that the card company should have caught this error and they didn't. So this is his first strike (pun intended). Besides, aren't error cards more valuable anyway? :) So, for this I printed out a copy of the photo and have two copies of the card to show the front and back. I cut out the Strike 1 with my Cricut and the Baseball solutions cartridge. The journaled the story using the Ali Edwards' "The Story" stamp set from Technique Tuesday. Hopefully we won't have a "Strike 2" page anytime soon!

Daric Barton Page

Today I have another page for you from Chris' scrapbook. You can see my original post for all the details of this project, or click here to see all the pages I have posted so far. This page is for a picture that was published on Sports Illustrated.com on in June 23, 2008. For this I printed out the web page that shows the photo and then added a 5x7 of the actual photo. The stamp for the journaling is from the For the Record set by Autumn Leaves. Sorry the photo of this page isn't the greatest. I was getting a lot of glare from the photo when taking the picture.....

Brett Wallace Page

It is time to share another page from Chris' scrapbook. You can see my original post for all the details of this project, or click here to see all the pages I have posted so far. This page is for a picture that was published in June 2, 2008 issue of Sporting News magazine. For this I printed out a small picture of the cover of the magazine and cut out the picture and article, being careful to include the photo credit (which is on that long "tail" coming off the bottom of the picture). I then put a 5x7 of the actual photo and then used a stamp from the For the Record set by Autumn Leaves for the journaling.

Another Henry Sosa Page

Today I have another page from Chris' scrapbook for you. You can see my original post for all the details of this project, or click here to see all the pages I have posted so far. This one is another baseball card. This is the second card that was made using one of Chris' photos of this particular player, Henry Sosa. This one is kind of cool because it is an autograph card (card comes out of the pack autographed). For this I scrapped the card and a 5 x 7 of the original photo. I used a stamp from the For the Record 3 set by Autumn Leaves to record the player and location information. Then I used a stamp from the Calendar Stamps set by Autumn Leaves to record the date the photo was taken. Hope you enjoy this page. Until next time.....

Lars Anderson Page

Today I have another page from Chris' scrapbook for you. You can see my original post for all the details of this project, or click here to see all the pages I have posted so far. This one is another baseball card. I kept this page simple of course with just the card, a 5x7 of the actual photo, and a title with the player's name, team, and date the photo was taken (printed out on the computer). I also used a couple of my Stampin' Up! punches (Photo Corner and My Way) on this one. So this is another basic page for another one of his cards. Stay tuned for more pages coming soon! :)

Barry Zito Page

Today I have another page from Chris' scrapbook for you. You can see my original post for all the details of this project, or click here to see all the pages I have posted so far. This page is for the first picture Chris got published in a magazine. This is a photo of Barry Zito from the San Francisco Giants and was published in the May 19, 2008 issue of ESPN Magazine. For this page, I used black and orange card stock to coordinate with the Giants' team colors. I then cut out the article that features the picture along with the side bar that shows the photo credit. I printed out a small picture of the cover of the magazine and cut out the issue date from the actual magazine cover and pasted those on the page. I also printed out all the details of when and where the photo was taken and that is what you see at the top of the page. And lastly, of course, a copy of the actual photo itself. So, as before, this is a no frills page used to document another one of his published works!

Hector Ambriz Page

Today I have another page from Chris' scrapbook for you. You can see my original post for all the details of this project, or click here to see all the pages I have posted so far. This one is another baseball card. I scrapped two copies of the card to show the front and back, as the picture is shown on both. And of course a 5 x 7 of the actual photo. The stamp that I have used to capture the journaling is from the "For the Record" set by Autumn Leaves.

So, this page, along with the pages I posted in my last 3 album posts were the original set that I scrapped and gave to Chris for Christmas. These were all the published pictures he had that first year. Since then, he has gotten a lot more, so stay tuned for more pages! :)

Henry Sosa Page

Today I have another page from Chris' scrapbook for you. You can see my original post for all the details of this project, or click here to see all the pages I have posted so far. This one is another baseball card. This one is kind of cool because it is an autograph card. For this one I scrapped 2 copies of the card to show the front and back. It is also cool because this player is from our local minor league team - the San Jose Giants. He has since moved up to the majors and now plays for the San Francisco Giants.

Anyway, this is another basic page to commemorate another published piece of work. The stamp I used for the journaling this time is from the "For The Record" set by Autumn Leaves. Enjoy!

Adam Moore Page

Today I have another page from Chris' scrapbook for you (see my original post for all the details of this project). This one is another baseball card. I scrapped two copies of the card to show the front and back, as the picture is shown on both. And of course a 5 x 7 of the actual photo. The stamp that I have used to capture the journaling is from the "For the Record" set by Autumn Leaves. Again, I tried to keep it simple and as "manly" as possible! :)


Thanks for looking! More pages to come later.....

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!
