Let's jump right in!
Here's the collection  I got to play with, "Making the Team"

                                                     

Here's what I chose to do with these surprisingly versatile papers!
OK, so yes, these papers would've been perfect for my five year old son that plays t-ball, but I wanted to shake it up a bit and make the papers work for a girl as well!

Here are a few close-ups:

The rosette was created using side B of the "Stripes" printed paper.  I used Clearsnap's Glue Gloss and Fairy Dust Glitter for Donna Salazar to add bling- you know, for the girl factor ;).  In addition, I used French Blue and Charcoal Fluid Chalk-Cat's Eye inks to edge the rosette for added dimension.  I finished it off by applying Clearsnap's Vanilla Shimmer Smooch Spritz (yummy stuff!)
The shipping tag behind the picture was colored with Navy Twinkle Smooch Spritz and water.  The pennant flag and alphabet stickers are just a few of the many cardstock stickers that came with this collection. 
The flag banner was created with another piece of coordinating cardstock and a piece of canvas drop cloth.  I highlighted some of the polka dots on the printed paper with Clearsnap's "Illuminate" Smooch ink.
The layout was finished by spritzing Vanilla Smooch Spritz to add a beautiful shimmer all over!

You're almost finished...let's get hopping for a chance to win some awesome prizes!

Love your layout. The banners backed by canvas are awesome and I love how you did the rosette and all the little extras with chalks, inks, smooch, etc. Great job in showing how versatile the papers are.
