Thank You Coach

Hello everyone, hope you all had a great weekend.
Thank You to all the service men and women, and their families who serve in the USA military! 
I was asked to make some thank you cards for the little league baseball team .  The main stamp I used is so old, its Dots sports border. What I love about this stamp, is I just color the sport I want to use. Like when its football I only color the football and helmet, basketball just the ball.  I thought the Anniversary thank you softened the bold Alpha blocks.  I love these Alpha Blocks I think they help finish a card fast without adding  a lot more.  The main team color was red with some brown. Everything is PTI with the exception of the sports  border.

  1. This is such a great card. I have 2 sporty daughters, and am always looking for new ideas for sports themed cards, esp thank yous for the coaches. I have resisted the alpha blocks stamps until now, but I think you have given me a reason to take the plunge. You should get a commission. Your anniversary card with the Aloha sent me to the PTI store to buy that set, which I just LOVE. Thanks for the inspiration.

  2. This is probably my favorite card of yours MaryBeth. I love that tip about only coloring the ball of the sport you are featuring. Those alpha diecuts were perfect for the word Coach. Really great card today. Loved it.
