BOSTON RED SOX CARD

HELLO

this is my third project for the 

Bitten by the Bug 

Design Team

  this week we had to work with the

-Life is a Party-

cricut cartridge

and use the baseball from page #37. the baseball is image #17,

you will find this baseball using shift and the layer creative feature.

below is my take on this challenge.

Boston Red Sox Card

3.75"

my husband is a huge Red Sox fan. our family room is his domain and you will find all kind of Red Sox items and in the bathroom a Red Sox toilet seat--hehe-- yeah! you heard right. :)

anyway, i am giving him this card to honor his love for the team.

the letters are from Storybook cricut cartridge and they were cut at .75". the heart is from Beyond Birthdays. the socks are actually stockings from Christmas Cheer, that i manipulated by hand to make them look like socks. the white on them was done by hand too. 

the stitches on the ball are the negative because i want them on top of the red.

this is the inside.  

i used two of the My Pink Stamper stamps:

Sport-tastic for the "Home Run" and the new Font-abulous one for the dots around it....and..... it is not dirty by accident, i had to make it look as it had been played with, lol. imagine is dirt from Fenway--wink.

if you click on My Pink Stamper it will take you where the stamp sets are.... and if you click the BBTB2 logo, it will take you to the site where you can see where my teammates have made with this image and you can also play along with us and make one of your own and link it to the BBTB2 site.

 i am so happy you decided to stop by and i certainly hope you decide to

"have a ball".

;p

Love you

YOU'VE GOT MAD SKILLS

HELLO FRIENDS,

it will be before we all realize it my son will be gone to start a new chapter in his life and,

i think the "empty nest" syndrome is attacking me already. i feel so anxious these days.

BUT...

   this card that i will give him after his lead in the musical "Lil Abner" made me happy. i needed to craft to take my mind off things :P

You've got mad skills

4.25" by 5.5"

using the "nifty fifty" cartridge and image#44 with all its layers.

 all images were cut at 3.50". the shoes are so darn cute, aren't they?

 the sentiment "you've got mad skills" is from my pink stamper clear set called

"sport-tastic".

 i stamped it on a scrap of cardstock and mounted it on a ticket shape.

i also used a handy action wobble for the dancing shoes.

it was really easy and fun to make this card.

hope you like it.

note: i purchased the new everyday pop-up cards cart but it is not so easy and i  lost my patience the other day with the first image which is the eiffel tower, lol. i need more practice, hehe. any tips are welcome! :)

***********

on another note: here is a photo of the local newspaper where you will find my son and some cast members. they will be performing this weekend.

he had to get a funny haircut for the part

 the top is really long and the sides are really short. hehe

 anyway...sunday he will be going for another haircut, lol-- to get his style back.

and i am so very sorry i haven't been around your blogs and i really really feel bad but i believe things will be like this maybe until after the graduation party. maybe not as bad as lately but some things are going to required extra time and this poor body can do so much a day. after so many hours i am good for nothing. :P

see you on friday tough for my pink stamper blog hop...a small candy might be chanced...lol

 love you all!
