Frances is the hostess this month to give the challenges for the CCEE Stampers. She noted that the base ball was invented on June 12th, 1839, so for the challenge, she asked us to make a sports related card and it did not have to be baseball. Feel free to join us in the challenge. You can get the details about the challenge and check out the other team's card here: http://cceestampers.blogspot.com/
This is also for the Twisted Sisters challenge. The challenge there was to make a base ball card and use your favorite teams colors.The colors here represent the Cardinals.

That is a terrific image. I bet it must be quite an older set because I sure don't remember ever seeing this in the SU catalog. In any event, it's a fabulous image and card, Shirt!

Aww...the epitome of Summer! Baseball whites, crisp and clean....until the first slide into home base and then its back to boys will be boys, and dirty and such! Hey, I know you can add some dirt smudges to this later! Snort!

Oh Shirl- this is perfect! I love the crisp white and red framing. I see you used your "cuddy buddy' too, great texture for this swanky looking ball player!

Wow - what a great baseball image! Love your embossing and layout too. This is one great baseball card - you rocked both challenges - how cool they occurred at the same time.
