This is the challenge from PTI

The challenge is to  pick your favorite project from 2011 and share it with everyone. To take it a step further, you are challenged to create a second card that is inspired by the favorite project you select. Your new version of an old favorite could carry over the color scheme, the layout or the stamp sets.  


I always liked this one and make many for teams.
Some cards are just better the first time!
Normally I only color in the sport the card is being used for.


This is ok but I would not say better. I didn't want to change it 
up too much. All those who frequent my blog are 
probably getting tired of this one:)
Have a great day everyone!

  3. Great case of your design. I love how you personalized it with the name. Coloring only some of the images is also a perfect way to individualize it.

  7. I totally remember your first card. I pinned it to case for a coach thank you card. It's terrific also as a birthday card. How nice that DH has a short enough name.

  25. Not likely that any of us will get tired of this masterpiece! I need to get the sports stamp-we have lots of little boys in our family and among our friends. You did an amazing job with the alpha-blocks. I can't seem to line those up well, consequently, I never use them. TFS-I'll give it another try. :-)
