Take Me Out to ( My 1st! ) Ball Game

People are aghast when they learn that I never went to a baseball game as a kid, but money was tight growing up and my mother is a football fan, so going to a baseball game never made our To Do list.  I finally attended my first baseball game at age 27 because my Kiwanis club organized an outing to a Mets game.  I documented it with this display. -->

My tip to you for scrapbooking or photo displays: keep everything from your trip/outing; you never know where you might find inspiration or value and it'll give it a truly unique touch. 

In this case, I kept my cup from the game because it had the team logo.  I filled it with marbles and vase filler beads in Mets colors: blue, orange, and clear for contrast.  And it turns out that photobooth picture protectors are a great size for tickets.  An acrylic block holding my photo was the finishing touch and I left the cup open at the top.

If you'll be in the NYC area, swing by the Kiwanis Club of NYC Young Professionals for a range of community service projects and social outings to add to your itinerary!
