My Project: 

"Kick This"

Soccer/Futball Layout

My son in his younger days play Futball/Soccer with the AYSO (American Youth Soccer Organization). Well I decide this was a good one to do a project on. I had to redo this cause my son said the one I was originally making didn't look boyish enough. So he proceeded to pick the papers that I used in the double page layout. Not that happy with his choice of backgrounds, but he wanted something really grungy.

This project was designed using the Design Studio software by Provo Craft. The sizes listed are the approximation of what they would be if cut with just the dial size on your machine. The field cut was cut on the Expression to be able to use the 12x24 mat. The white detail on the field cut was done using the white gell pen. Each of the white cut were inked on the edges and just a bit on the rest. The frames were cut using the weld feature to put the words "Team" and "Goalie" on them. The letters were at .5 inches in height.
