Unlike Sam the Ham I am not a girly girl, a just got her nails done, always in pink, to quote Mothermark in her write-up for the teaparty this week. More of a tomboy I was, always climbing trees and digging holes. But like Sam the Ham (and unlike Sam the Man) I don't have a sporting bone in my body - walking and swimming in the sea suits me just fine. So I thought that like me, Sam the Ham might need a bit of educating about all these sports.
I was convinced I had an image of Snoopy on a skateboard and was going to make a slider card, fun for a boy. But I didn't, so plan B was to make a plan of a baseball pitch, as the one and only sport-related stamp I ever owned was this little Slugger. Luckily I kept a half-dozen images before I RAKed the stamp to a new loving owner.
5 3/4" square base. Baseball pitch made with green and white card, circle and ticket corner punches, Nestabilities and embossing. I settled for just writing the positions on by hand. Slugger was coloured with watercolour pencils and stuck on. I added black borders down the side just to fill in the space.

Very cute card. Too bad about RAKing your stamp, but glad you saved a couple of images. I can never bear to part with any of mine & have so many that by now I have a hard time remembering what I have. The down side of keeping them all. Tfs.

Well, I shoulda know'd to come to you fer the refereein advice, Miss Sabrina. You are such a smart cookie. Look at this darlin' li'l slugger. He's so cute and that baseball diamond looks like regulashun size an all. Poor Gertie likes to think she knows whut she's talkin' 'bout, and, well, frankly, I lets her believe she does cuz she is so goofy and makes me laugh. Mark is gonna luv yer baseball card as much as Charlene and I do!
