Summer time is here. That means baseball, tennis, getting ready for soccer as well as many other great sports that you and your kids might play. We as a generation have actually never been more active in sports and consuming so much sports entertainment so why don't we make a scrapbook dedicated to all the sports we and our kids love to play and watch. This article is about documenting your sports memories!
A sports scrapbook is one of the favorite themes among scrapbooking enthusiasts. While making your own scrapbook, you can feel the flush of energy and the fierce competitive momentum of a match when you layout and paste all the embellishments on your page. Unleash your energy and the sporty side of yourself!
In making your Sports Scrapbook start with your favorite sport. If you love tennis, then focus on this sport in your scrapbook. If you are an athletic person, and play several sports, it is a great idea to have one scrapbook for each sport. Remember though, only focus on one sport per scrapbook.
Start with the basic fundamentals of the sports. Information of who founded the sports, the different events of the game, which country it originated, how it became famous, who set the world record, or won some big championship, and of course, why you love the sport. Don't forget your favorite athlete and your team!
For the succeeding pages, express yourself and start playing with your scrapbook. In choosing pictures to post, have variations. Pictures of an athlete where one is tackling an opponent, an athlete taking a penalty, a coach calling for a time out, a referee blowing his whistle, or a photo of you standing at the hotdog stand. Together with your pictures, add captions and shout-outs commonly used at a game. How can you forget the "BOOs", the "YESs!", the "HURRAYs!" not to mention the "C'MONs ". This will add eloquence to your page intensifying the theme.
Add memorabilia if you have collected any. Attach ticket stubs of the games you watched, brochures of the hotels when you watched during the championship games, autographs of your favorite sports figure, limited edition napkins and stickers, team stickers, jersey replicas, newspaper clippings and other items you have gathered throughout the years.
Add significance to your scrapbook, include sports tradition of your family and the role it plays for all of you, cheers that have become the family's signature and don't forget to mention how it came to be, and describe how the sport bonds your family - as a team.
Your sports scrapbook will not only be fun, but informative as well! This is something you will be proud of, something you can pass on to the next generation. Someday, this will actually be a collector's item your grandson would love to have!
This will also encourage the younger generation in your family to start their own sports scrapbook while they are still young since many kids start off playing baseball, basketball, football in their own backyard. This way, the sports development of your kids can be documented through the scrapbook.
There are no fouls and penalties in making your own scrapbook. Always remember to have fun and play with your artistic side!
