Martha here ......just finished sewing the little uniform - couldn't find a zipper that small though!
yikes! What a challenge this was for ME! I am baseball challenged! This was yet another 42,000 hour card as I did things I'd never done before .......... like a new photo editing program and spending HOURS looking for the "perfect" basset hound (is there one?)
And, I will probably be banned from SCS for using dogs bums - but I had to! Didn't Cindy say to be funny & comical? Aren't the dogs bums funny and how long do ya think it took me to come up with "bottom of the 9th..." to match the dogs bottoms?!!!
Now, you must see my boy, "Mikko" he's the Shih Tzu in the baseball cap ..... this is my son who so wanted to be part of the card - he was the ONLY stamp used here and he does have a bow in his hair under the cap!
Hope to make Andrew smile and will have to send directions with this one as it's not "doing" what it should for being an easel card but maybe it will by the morning! ...........so tired now, off to bed!

Wow, I almost missed seeing this one and commenting on it! What a super STADIUM card you have created! I have no idea how you did all the things you did to make it, but it was worth all 42,000 hours it took to make it stand out in a CROWD! Andrew and all the FANS will love it too!

Let me say you're not the only baseball challenged one - I've forgotten already everything I learned when we made cards for Mark. I think you did a fantastic job on this one! Henrietta can supply you with a zip, she'll even sew it for you .
This is bound to bring not just a smile but a big grin to Andrew.
