January single page sketch from Stick it Down

 
Did you know that Stick it Down has a new format?  You now have the full month to play along! I used their single layout as interpretations for the layout that I created on retreat.
 
 
 
Here's my take
 
 
 I flipped the large embellishment to the right side of the layout
and journaled in the border space. The gray cardstock I cut as a frame and inked the inner and outer edges with brown chalk ink to bring some more brown into the layout so that the football didn't pop out as much.  Did a few hand doodled stiches on the ball to tone down the white stripe.
 
Funny thing about this layout is that my husband thought it would be cool to go to the Oregon vs. Colorado game with my brother and sister in law as I'm a Colorado grad and he's an Oregon grad.  I hadn't been to a game since 1995, the same year that Colorado and Oregon played in the Cotton Bowl.   If you look closely you'll notice that the Quarter back is Oregon's Heisman trophy winner Marcus Mariota from 2 years ago. 
Too bad Oregon lost the National championship title game the day after I made this.
 
Thanks for taking a look
