It's the season of baseball for me this time of year.
My son is on a select team and we have been traveling quite a bit with him this summer. It keeps me extra busy but I wouldn't
trade this time with him for the world.
I created this card with his coach in mind.
He eats, drinks and sleeps baseball and is so deserving of a thank you card for all of the time and dedication he puts into his team.
My son is not only learning baseball but also
life lessons, and for that I am grateful.
I actually used a Great Impressions Stamps border stamp for this card.
Using sections of the border I created my background paper.
I masked off the images I wasn't using and then stamped each twice to
get the darker and lighter effect. Those are nestabilitie squares for the bases and I added a triangle to make home plate.
The colors I choose are my son's team colors.
This border stamp is so versatile.
It's also great for scrapbook pages and bordering a sports photo.
I may use it next for a collage of all the boys.
