Who's the master? Okay, maybe you're not exactly a chess master
yet, but you are well on your way. You had never really played chess
before so I was surprised when you chose it to fulfill your after school club
requirement for honor society. You quickly learned the names of the playing
pieces and the intricacies of the game.
I was so proud when your chess
instructor chose you to participate in the Thomas Mansfield Chess Tournament (named after
the late father of your school grounds director) Mr. Mansfield was quite
impressed with your chess playing skills. He thought you had been playing the
game for some time because you had taken to it so easily. I'm proud of you
kiddo. You look like a master to me…
Techniques:
-I stamped the image of the chess pieces on the cardstock and then
printed the journaling over it.
-I outlined the black chess piece with a white paint pen.
Story
behind the layout:
I
was so pleased when my son Amani chose chess as his after school activity. It
was very rewarding to see how quickly he became passionate about playing the
game. The opening and ending sentences
originated from one of our favorite 80’s karate films, The Last Dragon.
Patterned paper is by Basic Grey and Daisy D. The chess stamp behind the journaling is by Stampers Anonymous.

Fab page! I really love the journaling!
Great layout, wonderful memories!
It's so nice to look back on work you did years ago. You get to see how your child and your scrapping style have grown. Nice layout. Love the pattern paper.
What a nice layout! I like the warm colors and title placement. Can't remember the last time I played chess! Need to dig it out and dust it off. :)
Awesome page! What a great memory
This is an awesome page and I love watching the concentration of chess players and he looks so into it. Excellent job!
What a great find. I am terrible at putting layouts in my books.
