New Season and a Card!

No, I'm not talking about Fall. Even though I'm thrilled it's here! Last Saturday, we officially "kicked off" **LOL! get it?!?** the new soccer season. Friday night, coach Pete and his wife decided to have the team and their families over for a potluck. Everyone had a great time and it was nice to be able to just socialize and not worry about drills.

The girls got new pink jerseys this year so I decided to use Stampin Ups new Pink Pirouette cardstock, along with Baja Breeze, on my thank you card to them. I also used a very cool new product from Sheetload Shortcuts. They have clear and frosted cardstock! The best part is it's "fingerprint-resistant"! So cool - and very sturdy!

Stamps used: Office Accoutrements, I Love Soccer (SU! Retired)Here are a couple pics of Sarah in her cool pink jersey!

It's flattery right?

I've often heard that imitiation is a form of flattery. Well when I saw this card on Kristina Werner's blog, I just knew I had to make it for a baby shower I went to over the weekend. How cute is that? And, she enabled me even further by including a template for the layers!

I didn't have and couldn't find the same stamp set, but I think I'm pretty close with this one from STAMPENDOUS! The cardstock I used is Pink Pirouette and Chocolate Chip. Ink was Purely Pomegranate, Black Stazon, and I colored the onesies with my Copics and watercolor brush.

Hope you like it!
