Page Swap with Peggy

Peggy has not seen these yet, but I asked if it'd be ok to scan them in. We swapped pictues probably two months ago or so and we've neither one seen each other's results yet. She wanted to try something girly so I sent her Mother's Day pictures of my youngest dd. And she sent me a masculine set of her son, who plays ice hockey. It was a difficult challenge in that first I had to work in 8 1/2 x 11 format, which to me is not enough real estate. I'm use to my 12x12's. And second I haven't done anything masculine like that, and don't have a clue about hockey. So I was a little outside my comfort zones. I hope she likes what I've done with her pictures. I thought I'd post them to share and appreciate any feedback. The background paper was a plain cardstock, which I sanded to roughen it up a bit and give it some texture. I then used white acrylic paint and brushed randomly crisscrossing strokes which lightly touched upon the raised surfaces caused by the sanding. I was trying to get the effect of the scratch marks in the ice of a rink. The title "Images of a Champion" are done in Sizzlits Script, and crystal laquered, again trying to evoke the thought of ice. I repeated the idea of ice with the use of the white snap eyelets with the acrylic squares. There's a few Jolee's items from a hockey packet, and lucky me the jersey was a close match to the jersey of her ds. I used a nice focal photo of her son, sanded around the edges, and again touched 'em up with some paint. I thought this picture gave me an opportunity to point out identifying gear of the game. Hey, remember I'm not real bright in this area. The focal photo on the second page is a side shot of him which gave a different perspective. Around it says,"To achieve your goal of making the 2010 Paro Olympic Team, you must practice, practice, practise and never, ever give up." Around the edges are some smaller action photos. The upper second page was a really nice team picture which I initially wanted to enlarge....

He has recently added a new activity. He started doing 5Ks in his racing chair. He has a Turkey Trot on Thanksgiving morning and another one Saturday morning. If you go to the lin-mark website

there is a picture of him in the Somers Point to Ocean City run. If your screen is like mine, I have to scroll all the way to the right to see it. Hockey is still first - he started racing to build up his upper body strength. Peggy in NJ

I'm gonna have to start my own John book so I can follow his progress towards his goal. When he's famous and all I can say "hey I know that Kid. Isn't he Great!"
