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.

Page 2


Title raised with Pop Dots


Player and ball both raised using Pop Dots


Frames were cut with words welded using Design Studio

 Description: 

Pattern Paper - Kaiser Craft - Grunge collection - "Rebel"
Cardstock - Green - Provo Craft - 12x24 Basic Brights
Cardstock - White & Black - Close To My Heart
Cardstock - Yellow - From stash, unknown Manufactor
Gel Pen - White - Sakura - Gelly Roll Fine
Ink - Versa Magic - Chalk Ink - Jumbo Java
Machine - Provo Craft - Cricut Expression
Cartridges - Provo Craft - Cricut Sports Mania and Cricut Soccer
Cuts - Sports Mania Cartridge
Title - "Kick This" size is 6.5 wide by 4.0 high
Ball - size 3.0 wide by 3.25 high
Player - size 4.25 wide by 4.5 high
Cuts - Soccer Cartridge
Flags - size 1.25 wide by 2.5 high
Nets - size 4.25 wide by 3.0 high
Frame - "Goalie" size 4.5 wide by 6.5 high
Frame - "Team" size 4.5 wide by 6.75 high
Field - size 10.5 wide by 18.0 high (using a 12x24 Cricut Cutting Mat)
Glues - ATG tape runner
            Pop Dots
            Zip Dry

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.
