Reminds me of the older lines by Doodlebug (Goal, Home Run, Slam Dunk and Touchdown). I've used them on a lot of kid cards and my stash is running low. So I just may have to pick up some of these.

They are cute, but I feel like they are also a bit late to the game. Echo Park just did mini lines for sports and not long before that Doodlebug had some. But I guess a lot of kids are always in sports and parents get bored of the same things, so maybe this will appeal to them. I just don't find myself wanting to be themey with sports. I don't mind a few embellishments and journaling cards, plus a few papers that I can cut up, but I don't see myself ever wanting to buy an abundance of supplies to use over the course of several years of the same sport. I will admit that I like what I see so far, but I already have more than enough soccer stuff for my son's one year in soccer, lol.

I can see myself potentially getting the soccer and/or basketball ones. I like the colours. Quite a few years ago Bella Blvd had a sports collection but it had multiple sports in one collection. This way you can pick the sport that is relevant.
I do wish that sports collections didn't always have champions, mvp etc. in them. Last summer my son's team didn't win a single league game.

My oldest kid has played soccer for years and I need a new line to scrapbook his hundreds (thousands?) of soccer pictures. I have the Echo Park line, which I like, but I wasn't a fan of the Doodlebug line. I'll definitely pick some of this up!

I still have 8 years of sports to scrap. Each year x 5-7 teams x 2 kids. Yeah, I'll be buying these and I already have maybe 12-15 sports lines already purchased.

They're fine. I really wish a company would come up with sports lines for older kids. I would love to see more muted colors and more phrases that are connected to that sport. Someone outside of the sport may not get it, but the players (and maybe the scrapper) will know exactly what they mean. Many of these lines seem directed at elementary/middle school sports. DS played approximately 75 games of basketball per year between school and AAU. I have lots of games to scrap!

What - no rugby collection  I could have done with the 'soccer' aka football collection when my godson was younger (he's a goalie). But now, don't really see a need for anything, unless my niece takes up something. |

I am always on the lookout for new sports lines. These look a lot like some of the other lines I have seen, but still more than usable. TFS!

I am glad to see a soccer collection that doesn't say 'soccer' all over everything. We call it 'football' here (actually, 'fußball' to be accurate), so this one is much more usable for me.

Por favor, product makers. Not all of us have kids and yet scrap sports. Some of us are actual sports fans... I know, it's hard to believe women would be into such things and yet... I just want to scrap all the friends getting together to follow the football (soccer) world cup, watching a motorsports race from the sidelines, being glued to the telly for the next winter Olympics, etc. Still hoarding a couple of papers from the Carta Bella Work Hard Play Hard line because it was adult-appropriate. But someone needs to come up with some sort of follow-up already. the 'soccer' aka football collection Haha, the entire world to the USA: "The sport where you're not allowed to pick up the ball is the actual football."  |

I have scrapped a number of pages of our visits to football games here, as well as club museums and training sessions. Thankfully, there are a lot of generic lines with decent greens and (for me) red and white. |

I like the line well enough. I just don't have any photos to go with it.

They also had packs of 25 of other sports. I love that I can find random stuff at TM. |

I don't usually buy theme-y lines but think I will get these. My boys are younger and these are appropriate for them. I don't see myself using a ton on a page but I like that I could add elements of these lines without being too over the top.

I really don't like them. I have scrapped hundreds of sports pages and would have been interested in these back in the day but they don't impress me at all.

Glad those who need sports lines have them but they aren't anything I will need.

While I like the colors/patterns (ie stripes, numbers, stars, net) in the basketball line, the inclusion of a slice of pizza in its ephemera pack seems odd. I dislike the color scheme & images in the soccer line, except for the stars (ie collection kit bonus sheet), & cannot use most of the phrases on the sticker sheet because they're not applicable to the goalkeeper. I do not have a need for football & baseball, since our son no longer plays those sports.
Most past & present sports collections are geared toward younger children. I would like a collection useful to scrap older athletes & another for spectators. Millions of people cheer for their favorite college & pro teams playing various sports around the world!
