Are You Ready For Some Football????

Here at Flamingo Scraps, we take our college football very seriously!! Susan and I are rabid, diehard University of Florida Fighting Gators football fans, and well, so is my 80 year old mother! My dear Mama is one of those immaculate people who does not allow ANYTHING on her refrigerator -- or so she thought. A couple of years ago, I started sending her altered Gator Football Schedules and she will allow those on the fridge!

This is Mama's 2010 Gator Football Schedule

Here in NE Florida, so close to Gainesville (home of the U of FL), we can find a plethora of Gator themed scrapbook papers, stickers, and ribbons -- and Tim Holtz Stormy Sky and Dried Marigold Distress Inks just happen to match the Gator colors of Orange and Blue!!!

However, if you are a football fan and can't find patterned paper in your team's colors, you can still try this little project with plain cardstock, letter stickers, and patterned ribbon.  I have to say that when I saw the Teresa Collins NOEL collection (coming soon to Flamingo Scraps!), I thought of the Georgia Bulldogs!  Black Soot and Fired Brick Tim Holtz Inks would be fabulous for the Carolina Gamecocks.  And LSU fans -- gold and purple are big colors in collections this fall and winter.

Whatever your team allegiance -- high school, college, pros -- have a little fun this season and try an altered schedule for your fridge!

One parting comment -- IT IS GREAT TO BE A FLORIDA GATOR!!!
