Bowling tournament

I got my first kit. I spent time picking all these black star pieces that I first thought spilled from the sequin package. Nope. Pulled the entire bag up and found more under the bag. It was hard to get in (I still had some static leftover from the job I had dine at work) and still got them in. I have fancy things to play with. I have unknown future plans for a few pieces, but one piece of paper serendipitiously (did I use it right?) was in there for the layout here. I was thinking of printing out another image for a lane. Gee, another bowling layout? Well, the season is over now. They ended at Sectionals on President's Day. Next up are drama show, band contests, banquet, and she still has to bowl for a chance at a scholarship. Then, both girls still have their birthdays and summer stuff. Nobody here really stops.

So, I made a double page layout. Yes, these were taken with them in their protectors. This was a few pictures that, minus the Snapchat one from her, I took at the bowling tournament. She and some of the others were complaining about how early they had to be up on a Sunday. They did get pizza and soda on break. And we both had coffee when we got there. Hilarious is that mine was charged as a senior coffee. I didn't find out until I got the receipt. Just because I don't color my hair.... And the grey is mostly at the temples. 

This is the right side of the layout. I used as the main paper what I got from Target. The bottom piece is from Carta Bella, from the kit. My journaling and title were printed on the compeuter. The word stickers, pizza slice, and big emoji face came from Walmart stickers. The remaining stickers came from my Dollar Tree stuff. The cut out stuff, minus the coffee that came from a Biggby flyer, all came from my paper pads from Michael's. The washi filmstrip came from my bought kit. The ticket was the actual admit ticket fot the tournament!


This side is the left side. Yes, I tried to make it look like a bowling ball rolling down the lane. The papers are the same.  The butterfly came from the same Walmart sticker set. I traced in black the roll lines with colored pencil. Using Aleene's Tacky Glue, I added quite a few of the small stars from the kit. Yes, there are still many left, but I made an effort already at using them up. And, for those interested, I DID draw the glue lines with the intention of them showing. I hand cut the rounded corners on the pictures.  
I am submitting this to Stick It Down. I had fun with the page. Yes, I changed the heart. The part the girl will say was a fail is that I didn't make the holes with the plugs. She has gotten annoyed that all bowling ball images have just the black holes and none have a white ring, which would be the plugs. But, my thought is that they are being covered by the pics. Maybe next year's layouts can get one done that way.
