View Challenge Here: Sports and Play (ONE YEAR ANNIVERSARY)

Welcome to the new and updated Sports & Play challenge. Please read through just to familiarize yourself with the new format.
In addition to the original SPORTS category that allows you to show off your youth, high school, collegiate and professional sports photos creations there is now a PLAY category, as well.
Sports: All sports pages are welcome meaning, if your page is at all referenced as a sport, it is eligible ex: (Horse Racing, NASCAR, Cheerleading. For that matter, competitive eating will work, too!) Basically, if it is judged, scored, or a winner is chosen through competition, this is the category for your creation.
Play and Activity: Just what is sounds like. If your subject(s) are being active, then this one is where you will want to submit it here.
Prize: A monthly 'winner' will be chosen by random.org for each category. Your name will be entered into the drawing for each layout submitted as well as for each layout that includes the twist for the month. (ex: 1 lo + twist = 2 entries)
Important!! This challenge is designed to be stress free as well as a place to showcase your sports and Play themed creations. It is not however, a 'dump and run' challenge. Please take a moment and read through the thread and if you get love, leave love. Everyone loves feedback.

Another important bit of information: Public Embedding must be enabled for your creation to be added to the front for credit
Read through the thread, important info is there for you and you get to know each other a little better

Twists:
Sports:Since it is March, use GREEN somewhere on your creation. All shades count!
Play & Activity:Use two or more punches on your creation. Corner rounders count!

Mine:

luv the addition of play! i'm in this month

im in. got lots of baseball to scrap.

Oh me please! I've never done the sports challenge because I am scrapping 2011 right now and I don't think I have any thing sports related until 2015 when ds started soccer! LOL! But I definitely have topics that will work for play! Thanks for hosting!

I'm bringing these over from last month for sharing.
These were entered late on the last day (Juansmom literally posted at 11:59, LOL)
Not everyone gets to check back to the old thread and I wanted these to be seen by everyone!

Count me in! I need to scrap my sons Karate pics.

I am perpetually late...whoops

I'm in again for March, tho

• Juansmom Said:

LOL, no worries! On the last day of the month, I try to stay up later just in case there are any new postings but, yesterday was kind of a long day for me and I went to bed around 10:30.
I wanted to make sure the later entries got some attention!!

Getting the first post updated...
Welcome everyone!!! Looking forward to seeing all the fun March has in store!

Count me in again.

I'm in for March. I love to go and take picts but then don't scrap them because the picts are usually very busy ... aahhh. I have gymnastics & basketball photos

Congrats on the year anniversary!

Count me in.

Thanks Coleen! when I was getting this month set up, that's when it hit me!

• LelaScraps-n-Stamps Said:

I don't know how you feel about b&w or sepia tone but, when I have a busy pic, changing from color to one of those sometimes helps.

Happy Friday

Welcome everyone!!! Looks like a good group is forming once again!!!

The first post is updated!!

Added "Hiking El Yunque" to the challenge. Added the green twist. If you are ever in the mood to really sweat, hike a rainforest.

• ccarter Said:

Hi Cindy! Got your Hiking lo added to the first post. Your lo falls into the Play & Activity category. Just to clarify, the green twist is for the Sports category. You completed the 2 or more punch twist and I have credited you!
For the record, I never am in the mood to sweat!!

Here is my entry for the Sports portion of the challenge.....complete with the twist of using green.

Maplebrook Tournament By Sarawaltz

Here is mine for the sports challenge - Seahawks Training Camp.

Weekend field trip By Lilymommy

Hi everyone!
Getting the first post updated. My apologies for being gone but, something kicked my butt this week. Still not 100% but, I can say that I at least feel like getting dressed and opening the computer!
I don't wish this on anyone! This week was kind of not fun!

another play layout. No twist

It was a good day By Lilymommy

Here's my play with 2 punches twist

In honor of your first anniversary I finally managed to get these photos scrapped.
Thanks for the fun challenge.

Entry for Sport with twist of Green (which happens to be her high school colors)

High School Junior By Msmama

Added "Skate Quickly and carry a Curved Stick" to the challenge. One day I will be able to hand write my journaling with out making a goof. I have gotten so used to typing that my mind works faster than my hand and I always write the letter that is about 2 ahead of what I want. Oh well. . .

ACU on love! Great LO's everyone!

acu/mms

I'm back with two I finished up today. The first I started ages ago and finally figured out how to proceed today. The second I did today. Same girl, 7 years apart.

• Scrapanda Said:

Never had that question asked but, I don't see why not! Considering that animal competitions are eligible for the competition category!!

• GMFTS Said:

Awww, thanks Mary!!
Getting the first post acu right now!!

• nvmagpie Said:

It sure is!!! Still working on getting everyone updated to the first post!!

• LauralsAttic Said:

Oh man!! I hope Easter wasn't ruined for you! I will tell you that I had a relapse a few days after I thought I was getting better. It was twice as bad as the first go 'round!! I ended up spending the night in the hospital. They monitored me for all types of possible problems! Nothing really came out of it that was serious enough for a long stay-determined I had a mutant virus strain combined with Pneumonia in my right lung. Knocked me down!

As for the year going by so fast!! I have enjoyed this so much that I really had no clue a year had went by!

• MarciLB Said:

Hi Marci! Nice to see you're able to play this month! The green twist is for the Sports category and since it's Soccer, it will be in that group, if you go looking for it!

Thank you all for your patience! This month has been a little off.
The first post is updated and good-to-go!
Y'all have been busy little sporty scrappers!!!
We have 40 total submission (2pgrs count a two entries)
Looks like the Activity category is here to stay! Keep 'em coming!!

Ok I found a picture with people that would work! This is ds at our family photo shoot a couple years ago - he was having so much fun running and playing in the leaves and playing hide and seek with the photographer!

I did the twist and used two different sized square punches.
