LM #242 - Strength

Hey all! I know, long time no see right?? This working thing really cuts into my style! I'm so behind this month at Lasting Memories but I am spending this week catching up! Our theme for May is "Life's Affirmations" and each week we have had a theme which I'll show you throughout this week! But this week, our theme is "Strength" and I chose to showcase a 2 page layout from when my daughter was 6 - she had never played ball and she was pretty scared about the whole thing but she conquered her fear and ended up playing all positions and had a blast!

Thanks for stopping by!

For my creation today, I chose to do a layout based on one of my favorite childhood (and still today) sport - baseball!! Here's my inspiration photo:

And here's my layout. My son Andrew LOVES baseball and is moving up a division this yr to midget, which is 16-21 (huge gap, I know!!) and he's a little nervous, but we know he'll do just fine. He's a great player and gets better each year!! It's in his blood as a lot of his cousin's have been playing ball all their lives and I did till a few yrs ago as well. So, here's my layout, based on one of Andrew's games!

Now, to make sure you're on the right track - If you came here from MARGARET'S blog, then you're on the right track!! If not, be sure and start off at TIFFANY'S blog where you will be inspired by her favorite spring time toy, the soccer ball!
