How did you all do? From the looks of things, very well! :)
Here's my scalloped-sports-sticker page. (The stickers are the patterned paper-looking borders under the title and over on the lower left... they are from BasicGrey and are my absolute favorite product from them ever! Link to come!).
This page totally cracks me up. The pics, and also the title. I am quite punny, as you probably already know, and I especially like thinking of clever twists of phrase or word for the titles of my layouts. Often, I cannot really complete the design until I know what funny title I am going to use. Kinsey didn't get this one. I had to explain it about ten times. And still, "But Mommy, it sounds like you're HITTING her. You know, sock-her?"
Yeah, well.
Perhaps my humor doesn't always amuse anyone but me, but it's MY scrapbook page, darnit! ;)
Maybe I'd better quit while I'm ahead and announce a winner or two:
Sandra created an awesome soccer (NOT soc-her...soc-him?) page... in German, no less! I guess that would actually make it FOOTBALL... but I'm going to stop myself right now before I get in trouble.
Jennifer did her first-ever challenge, as did Maile, whose page made me giggle out loud...
and Laura T. gets a prize for the widest interpretation of "sports!"
And since I have to go up to the post office counter to send Sandra her overseas goodies, why don't I just add in a lil' something for Elina, too? (Another soccer -- or "futaaja" -- page... it truly is a popular sport!).
And here's one for sockiepuppetsmom, who's afraid she might be too "digi" for ScrapHappy but is simply perfect, just the way she is. :)
Okay, ladies, you know the drill -- send me your addresses! I leave Friday for Mexico, so it may take me until next week to get your goodies out.
Now, for NEXT week... let's do:
-a size you don't usually scrap in (if you do 12x12, try 8.5x11 or 6x12, my new fun favorite!)
-a journaling block of some sort
-your own handwriting!
Post a link to the comment of this post by next Wednesday night, and let's see what you can do. :)
Fun new challenge. So, as far as a new size..I have scrapped in all of those sizes atleast once, so does it just have to be a size I don't scrap regularly (I do love 6X12...have only done it a handful of time, would that count..)
Congrats to the winners!!

I had a great title for the "sport" page-but as usual life (husband, dogs, 2 grown male children) got in the way. So I will just combine with this weeks' because you're going to laugh your beautifully knitted socks off.

Love your layout --- Thanks so much for accepting my "blowing bubbles" as a sport.
Let's see if I can get the new challenge completed - I usually only create 12 x 12, but I'll see if I can step outside of the box.
