Winnipeg Jets playoff layout

So, the Winnipeg Jets 2019 playoff run was too short but our family had fun while it lasted. We ironed on HTV and created customized t-shirts to go to games and I made a banner to decorate the family room for hosting viewing parties.

I had this ice surface design in my head for months before I finally created it. This design would be super easy to create for any hockey team. You can just cut a team logo in half over the red line. The toughest part was slicing in all the jet planes.

Day Nine of Christmas Projects - Zamboni slider card

This is my first slider card ever. It was super easy to make but one difficult step here in Canada was to find two pennies. We no longer make or use the penny as currency. (We round up or down.) I ended up having to use nickels. Therefore, this card has a value of ten cents and it is a bit on the heavy side. I won't be able to mail this one without extra charges.

To create the zamboni's track, I sliced, using my Cricut Explore, a skinny rectangle across the card front. My card front is glued to the base with the two nickels in between. I adhered the zamboni to the two nickels on the inside of the card front using pop dots. Santa can now drive the zamboni across the ice surface. I found the zamboni cut online but needed to edit it a bit. Santa is from the Jolly Holidays Cricut cartridge.

Making a knockout using Design Space

Last week, I saw a video tutorial on Facebook on how to do a knockout using the slice feature on Design Space. It looked pretty simple to do and IT WAS. I love how easy and neat this technique is. It is just a matter of placing the image over your text, slicing, removing the unwanted bits and then changing the colour of your initial slice. What I learned was, if you are using cuts that are small and finicky it's better to cut them larger. This is an A2 sized card and I had trouble glueing my hockey player so don't look too closely.



I need to make more cards using this technique.

The Day the Ice Melted

The strangest thing happened during hockey playoffs this year. Something like this has never happened in twelve years of me "hockey-momming". The zamboni came out in between periods and melted the ice away...

You know you are a scrapbooker when you are thinking *I will need to document this* even as it is happening.

The end result was that the game needed to be replayed another day at another arena.

Winnipeg Jets - Playoff Projects

Our family loves hockey! Our son plays community hockey and my husband coaches. We are also fans of our city's NHL team, the Winnipeg Jets. They have clinched a spot on the 2018 playoffs. Therefore, I have game-watching parties to prepare for. Here are some previously posted ideas.

This banner was for my son's tenth birthday party.

Invitations to the birthday party.

Lootbags.

This layout was from the last time we were in the playoffs. I added a QR code to remember our playoff anthem from Youtube.

Here is my QR code blog post.

I made cupcake toppers in the whiteout colors.

Now what should I make this year?

Adding a QR code to your scrapbooking - Winnipeg Jets layout

I have wanted to learn how to add a QR code to a layout for awhile now. Thank you to everyone that has posted a tutorial on this. I created this page almost a year ago to remember our family's excitement to have our hockey team in the playoffs. Our entire city was cheering them on! Each day, the kids and I listened to the Jets Playoff Anthem that a local radio station wrote and produced. We loved this song and would blast it in the car to drive to school passing by Winnipeg Jet signs and flags. I still smile when I think of it. I felt that I wanted to include the YouTube video for this song as part of my scrapbook page. Yes, I pulled out a page from a year ago and added to it today. The website I used to create the code is GoQR. I copied the YouTube URL and within seconds my QR code was there. The scrapbooking possibilities are endless. I could add anything to my pages.



*Note my cute cupcake toppers and yes I do have a goal horn in my family room**



My hope is that many years from now, my family or a friend will see this layout and understand how thrilled my kids were to experience this playoff frenzy for the first time and the video link will add to the story.

*Cross your fingers the Winnipeg Jets will make the playoffs again... next year.*

Hockey dreams - Winnipeg Jets layout

My son has won a contest, he will be on the ice during the national anthems at an NHL hockey game holding the Canadian flag.

We are all so excited for him!

I have even made this layout for a future picture from that night.


I created the hockey logo with my Gypsy using many basic shapes from the George Cricut cartridge. The skate is a brad purchased at my LSS. The hockey paper is by Karen Foster.

My shopping thoughts about hockey scrapbook paper is when I see, I buy it because there is not too much of it around and my son has now been playing hockey for six years.

That's a lot of hockey layouts!

Have a wonderful day!
