CalvinBall Day Two

JT Spring 2018
This is the individual photo done at team picture day, I completed this for JT's book, I wish I had another copy for my book but with as much as I need to create I'm not complaining.
JT probably won't be too happy with a blinged out soccer ball on his layout but I couldn't resist myself since it was added to the points today!
Today a point got added to use old product (5+ years or older) I thought that was cute considering most of my scrappy loft has nothing but stuff that is 5 years or older, oh well, win for me!!!

My running total of points so far is 49, I'll take it, lots of work to do to stay in the game. I was tied for 2nd place on the leader board this morning, go me! I've completed 8 layouts and that's 8 more than I had on Thursday.

Keep scrapping,
~Jill

#CalvinBall Day One 1 more layout

I took a quick look through my pile of photos that need to be scrapped that would work with the point maker of green.  Well, what do you know I have more than a few soccer layouts to do, I was only able to get one done tonight, so here it is.

Day one 7 layouts, I would call that a success.  Tomorrow won't give me as much time, we have a family birthday party to attend.  (My nephew is turning 4!)

Current point tally is 41.5 points, I'll take it. (I had to adjust the points because I forgot to give myself a point for the actual layouts - duh!)

Good night scrappy folks.

CalvinBall 2019 Day One - part Two

I finished another 2 page layout, it's the same road trip driving back to Frisco, Tx from South Padre with Mom and Al.  On our way to Lana's the first leg we stopped in San Antonio to do the River Walk, we took the boat ride, had mexican food and a great day!  (These photos of the layouts make the background paper look really blue, actually they are a beautiful shade of jade green)

I was going through my 2017 ephemera envelope to match stuff up with the photos I've printed and came across these cards that would fit the "green" point! So with that, why not knock them out?

Nothing fancy here just wanting to get them in the book!

Plus I added 14 additional points!  

Hope everyone is having as much fun with CalvinBall that I am.

Stay Crafty,

CalvinBall Day One!

You know you're excited when you get up in the middle of the night to visit the potty and you take your phone with you to check what the rules are for CalvinBall!!!  I love that by completing layouts with the suggestion of game rules you get layouts that are different and unique!

This double page includes pictures from 2017, we were driving home (Frisco, Tx) from a week in South Padre, Tx with Mom and Al.  We broke up the long (8 hour) drive by stopping into Chip & JoAnna Gains retail store Magnolia in Waco, Tx.

The rules from day one included the color green, floral patterned paper, enamel dot, and stars!
I struggled with the stars on these layouts, I added the dark green punch of the state of Texas and solved the problem by placing a star where Waco is located!

I was super excited to get all 4 rules on both pages!
Also claiming points from: 1st layout of CalvinBall, Early bird sign-up, Email list, FaceBook share, 10 comments, and this blog post!

Hope everyone is feeding their creative soul and having as much fun as I am playing CalvinBall!

Total so far: 14 points!

Keep it scrappy,
~Jill

Well, I guess I'm going to give this another go. 
CalvinBall 2019 is starting Friday March 1st.  It has moved from Get It Scrapped (sadly they have closed) to FaceBook being hosted by Scrap Happy.  I didn't participate in CalvinBall last year and barely dabbled in 2017.  I have been continuing to create layouts to "get 'em done & in the books".  I spent way too much loft time making cards the last couple of years and I've decided I'm not a card maker.  I think because I play with paper I will always make the cards we need, but that's it. I'm ready to go at #CalvinBall2019 hard and get scrap done!  I also realize that I enjoyed reliving my prior CalvinBall experience by way of this blog.  (I stopped posting here because I finally figured out how to use the Get It Scrapped gallery, which I now regret.) I'm hoping to leave a log of my layouts from this game. (Maybe a way to keep track of the points?)
See ya, Friday or whenever I get a layout done for the game.

Calvinball #27 Play Buddies

Calvinball #26 Winstar World Casino, Blissful Day

This was the documentation of the first time we had a free room at the Winstar Casino in Thackerville, Oklahoma which is the worlds largest casino.  It is completely weird to me that the worlds largest casino is not in some place obvious like Rio or Vegas, not drive thru Thackerville, which is exit #1 on I35 the very first exit once you hit Oklahoma, so everyone who lives in the Dallas/Fort Worth area drives and hour north to go leave their money.  I will say that while in the room, casino or at the pool you feel like you are at a nice hotel/casino so we enjoy going for the free room, we are completely cheap and we have our $50 to take to play with and when it's gone, we leave the casino...done!  Usually we are lucky enough to get a nights worth of entertainment out of that $50.
