Chattanooga Lookouts

I've got a new layout nearly complete--just have to finish up the journaling (my least favorite part). So for today, I'm showing an oldie back from 2008--Dave's and my first summer together (married, that is). 

I miss a few things from when we lived in Chattanooga/Lookout Mountain: seasonal changes, tulips and hydrangeas, the mountains, and minor league baseball, to name a few. (But a friend just posted a picture on Facebook of a copperhead snake that he killed, right where we used to live! That is something I do not miss. At all. I pretend that we don't have dangerous snakes in Florida.)

Anyway, we went to two Chattanooga Lookouts baseball games in 2008. We love the cheesy, laid-back atmosphere at minor league games, and you can't beat the price! If only Red Sox tickets sold for $4.... 

So here's the layout of two of our ventures into minor league world. At the first game we got free t-shirts (always a plus to get free stuff!), and the second game we went to with Aaron and Megan (where Dave caught me a foul ball--more free stuff!). At both of these game (about 1 month apart), the stadium lights randomly went out during the middle of play. There was a short delay each time. The second time this happened, Dave got a little bored and decided to take a quick nap on the comfy bench seats. 

As for the layout, it's very simple. Some red, blue and white paper, and stickers (Creative Memories, I think) pretty much make up all of it. As usual, pictures are my main focus, so I included as many as possible, as well as a ticket from one of the games.  

Fenway Park

I don't have a new layout to show you today (kick boxing wiped me out yesterday, and all I wanted to do last night was sit on the couch and watch tv), but instead I'm putting up one of my favorites pages that I've done.

Not sure if it's a favorite because of the actual layout, or because I really like how the pictures turned out, or because we had such a wonderful time that day. (Or maybe just because it's Fenway Park? I think that makes it automatically awesome.)

Anyway, a couple of summers ago, as Dave and I were driving back from Maine, we split up the trip by stopping in Boston to see Lianne. One night we spent seeing the Red Sox beat the Indians, and the next day we spent exploring Boston and the Freedom Trail. We had such a blast.

As for the layout, it's nothing fancy. My real focus here was to emphasis the pictures, and to try and fit as many of them as possible on the two pages. I really like the sparkly baseball stickers. It's surprising how difficult it is to find sports-related stickers that aren't designed for pages about Little League!

For the title, I downloaded a free Red Sox font. I couldn't find a font specifically for the Cleveland Indians, but I tried to get something as close to it as possible. The "Fenway Park" I colored in with a white paint-like marker.

I say that all I did last night was sit on the couch. Well, I did get up for long enough to take this super cute picture of my pooch, Suzie. Is this adorable or what??
