It's CAS week at Just Us Girls where our host Sue is looking for SPORTS themed cards. I really had to put my thinking cap on for this one. I don't have anything sports themed in my arsenal! Here's what I did...
I used a circle die and Tombow marker to create my own softball. The cover die reminded me of chain link fence! Isn't this sentiment from The Stamp Market fun! Now you might be questioning the color of my ball. Check out the big softball in Sweet P's hand!
She played in her first softball league this year and the balls were lime green with blue stitching! At 8 years old, it was a learning league where they played all positions. She also attended several pitching clinics offered and boy oh boy, she found her jam on the mound! The little stinker even made the All Star Team! She'll move up to a new league in the spring and can't wait!
We hope you'll join us this week!

This is just so adorable, Lisa. So fun to read about your creative process. I love the chain link fence look of the cover die, the trs, the stitches nd the wonderful pics of your little slugger.

What a fun card to honor that little pitcher! Good for her and good for yoU!
ahh, what a perfect card for your grand!
I love that big softball and your stitching on it is perfect! That background really does look like a chain link fence. Fun sentiment and I'm sure Sweet P is going to love it! Love the addition of the little stars, too.
Such a cute card. Love the big yellow ball and the embossed background, it does remind you of chain link fence. Perfect card for Sweet P. I can't blame you for being a proud grandma. I remember those days too. :)
Very creative, Lisa. And inspired by the best thing any grandma could ask for. Enjoy watching her play.
You're incredibly inventive in stylizing the baseball and how perfect for your Sweet P. Adorable card in every way - as are all your photos for your sweet girl. My brother used to play ball, years ago, so your story here triggers wonderful memories of all the time I spent watching him on the mound and out in the field. Thank you for a grand slam trip down memory lane...

yes you are a proud grandma... fun card Lisa..
Oh my goodness--she's so grown up! How incredibly fun to go to her games! Brings back memories of watching my niece who was an ace catcher. But she was far away, so I only saw a few games when she was in college. You are just so creative to make Sweet P's softball--love it!
