Premier Championships 2012


I wanted to share a few photos from our tournament on Saturday...

After a competitor line up and an officials meeting, we started with patterns, beginning with the black belts. My group was suppose to be a group of four, but two competitors didn't show up, so we joined another group (the teenagers) and formed a group of six.


Then the colour belt & poom patterns...


Then we started with the black belt breaking (I only broke one board out of my three) and poom belt breaking (Austin broke his first board with an axe kick!)


And then we started sparring, beginning with the lower belts and moving up... Here are some photos of Sage (the only sparring competitor from our family-- so proud of her!)



Even though we all tried our best, Jonah was the only one from our family to bring home a medal... a bronze for patterns!


And I wanted to share a layout I made using Sketch #7 from Sketchbook 4 and some photos of Austin from the tournament...

I used AC cardstock (12x12), Echo Park patterned paper, Webster's letter stickers, My Mind's Eye, Pink Paislee & The Girl's Paperie decorative brads and PTI cardstock (aqua mist), impression plate (woodgrain), stamps (Grunge Me) & die (Seeing Stars).

Here's a close-up of the journaling, which explains the cryptic title...


Thanks for looking!

Wow! You guys don't mess around! i'm not surprised to hear how focused Jonah is... you obviously model that for him in all that you do!

Congrats to your whole family on the competition. It sounds like quite a deal. The lighting in those gymnasiums are always so tricky to get good photos. Good idea to put them together as a collage.
