Day 7’s challenge from Lain was to make a page with the
theme “The Most Wonderful Time of the Year”, but she urged us to stay away from
the Christmas pages that the title insinuates.
I thought long and hard about that because really, Christmas is the most wonderful time of the year
for me, but then I went back to my old standby-by project box and pulled out
these photos from a Texas A&M football game.
Football season is an intensely unique experience in College
Station, and Texas A&M Aggies are some of the most fanatical fans in the
nation. Being a Cadet adds a whole
‘nother level of dedication. It also
means that I have pictures from just about every home football game (thanks again to all those Facebook buddies!). So to give a little perspective on this
experience, and to reserve some journaling for other pages, I decided to focus
on just one or two aspects of the experience per layout, rather than trying to
be totally inclusive of the whole experience on one page. I had
some great panoramic shots of the grandstands from my son’s first game, so for
this page, I decided to focus on the 12th man tradition.

A few days after his first football game, the school
posted high-def panoramic photos of the student section of the stadium. Of course, I immediately started taking
screen shots at different levels of magnification, right down to a photo where
I spotted my own son in the crowd.
Because the pictures and the background paper were so busy,
and I wanted to keep it to one page, I decided to limit my embellishments to a
couple of packaged 3D stickers and nothing else. I can’t decide, though…should I put an arrow
or other marker to show Steven in the close-up photo, nor not?
