McGuire has been practicin and practicin...wantin to play ball like his people person and the star he was named after....he dreams baseball.... chews on gloves....sleeps on piles of uniforms..... chases balls...how could he not be a sure pick for the team??....When he heard about the Bad News Bassethounds he got all excited....sure he isn't a bassethound but he heard that coach is a little near sighted so he put on his persons uniform and strutted down to the field to try out...Gave it his best shot and now he's standin out there scared to throw out the ball with all those yellin crazed fans.....
C'mon McGuire!....let it rip!!! We got lots of nice bones in the locker room for ya after the game....C'mon right here over the plate!!..
about this silly card: the field, bats, helmet and playball are cut on cricut..the star is pieced together-uniform is stickers put on cardstock backer and digi image of retreiver colored, layered, and cut all up and then inserted into the openings of the uniform....
this is in the mail to a brave young man who loves baseball...sure hope it makes him smile just a little...
TFL..

Great card. Love your uniform wearing Avery dog. Great job getting it to fit... I couldn't get Snoopy into that jersey, no matter how hard I tried. Should have bought stock in baseball stickers... I bet the store owners are shaking their heads over all the sales this week!

Stickers? Now why didn't I think of that? GREAT idea, hope I remember this next time! LOVE your big baseball BG! He actually looks like he could play ball standing upright on his hind legs like that! CUTE card!
