This week the Tea Party is going to visit two sisters who are transitioning to group home living. They both love to receive mail as well as watch sports and have participated in Special Olympics.
I don't have a lot of sports stamps, but I do have this "cool" skateboarding cat and skateboarding is an Olympic sport. So, stamped, colored and fussy cut the cat; stenciled the bg; added the ramp with a sharpie and ruler; embossed and die cut the grass; and added the all important Olympic chant -- USA! USA! USA! I used Copic to edge the card so the colors would all match and went with red, white & blue for our team colors.
Moving is traumatic (at least for me) at the best of times so I expect it is very daunting for these two women who have never been away from home. I hope our cards of support brighten their day and remind them that there are tons of good people out there cheering them on...just like at the Special Olympics. Hope you are feeling cheered on today as well. TFL

This pair of Cool Cats is so much fun - I love all the implied motion with the loop de loops! I'm betting the girls will absolutely love these cards - Thanks you for helping to brighten their days during this transition time.

How fabulous you did two cards, and they are similar but different. Wonderful image and scenes, Debbie. They are sure to LOVE these. As always I feel your heart in them.
Moving is the worst! I hate it too.

Fabulous and so darn cute! Love both of these. The stenciled BGs, the color/shading, and the 2 designs are beautiful. The EF on the grass is an excellent idea...

Oh, they will be smiling when they get these, Debbie. So clever of you to use these skateboarding kitties. Sponged skies look wonderful and I do love that textured grass as well!
