I am not a follower of basketball but my household is full of March madness! For us it's birthday craziness. My boys birthdays are 12 days apart and then my husband follows them 3 days later. Last year my husband was also returning from a several month deployment right at the same time. It took me quite awhile to get to this layout.
Once I started however it went very quickly. I used 2 free downloadable templates I found at Scrapbooks Etc. I just added in the pictures I wanted to use in Photoshop and printed them off. I used a rectangular template on the left side and a square layout on the right. I'm sure I wasn't doing things quite right but sometimes the pale blue of the template showed through. I just took the paint bucket and painted the light blue spots white. Worked like a charm!
This was the first title I ever cut with my Cricut. The planes refers to my husband "returning on a jet plane," trains were for my youngest turning "toot, toot, 2" and the automobiles were for my oldest who was "racing for 4."
I used border scissors to cut the blue mat around the photos . I then took one of the photo blocks and extended it out of the frame for the journaling. Add a few stickers, and DONE!
Simple layout, lots of pics, little time. Nice way to calm some of my March madness!
