have you scrapped any pages for swim meets?

[Grumpy's Gal]

I'd like to see some pages for swim meets. Does anyone have any ?

I have a few. DD has been swimming since late 2004 so you would think I would have LOTS of pages.... but since I scrap chronologically and I am only up to mid-2005, I don't have lots of swim page done. But I can share the few that I do have if you don't mind waiting a day or two.

FWIW.... they do start kind of looking all the same after a while! I have tried to find different papers that look like water or pool tiles, but that gets kind of boring. When I started scrapping her swimming I kind of thought I would scrap EVERY meet... but let's face it... with 10-15 meets per season, that is NOT going to happen... plus all of the pictures kind of look the same!!

I am planning, as I go forward, to do just 2-4 pages per season of swim (maybe a full 2 page LO for championship season, if I have enough good pictures) and just combine stuff.

I also had GRAND ideas of doing a ribbons/medals book for her sometime.... but there are just SO many! Right now I kind of just have them organized by event per season... but this year I haven't even done that! I need to step it up !

Do you have a swimmer in the family?? ........................P

P I'd love to see them as well. L just started swimming this summer and I'm contiplacting the whole thing. So far he only has ribbons from 2 meets.

have you been to a meet at the Upper Valley Aquatic center in White River Jct?

I have scrapped a lot of summer diving. Kind of similar....it does seem to get boring after awhile. I only do 1 two page lay out of general pictures from the season. Then I do another layout of their awards. It would be just too much if I did more than that.
I found yellow seems to be a nice contrast in the sea of blue layouts....

LOVE that place! DD had a meet there earlier this year and last weekend we were there for Regionals! Are you close to that?

Fortunately for me (or maybe unfortunately??) DD's team colors are yellow and black, so I do a LOT of yellow and black on a sea of blue!!

I'll try to get some pictures up later today or tomorrow.....P

that is L's home pool. NCAC is looking to become their inhouse team. he missed reagionals by a full second so I got the weekend off. did she do the december meet? That was his first ever meet what a wake up call that was.

Spinning those are beautiful!!! I'm in awe of the diver.

I would love to see swimming layouts too! My dd is a swimmer and I've completed one but am stumped on the others. I only do a season in review kind of thing, one for championship meet and then I print her results in a spreadsheet and take a picture of all the ribbons.

For the ribbons themselves, I took 8 x 8 page protectors and sewed them so that each one fits. It was a real pain but it worked!
