Once again it has been too long since I posted something here so I decided to post more than one today. I wish life didn't have such a way of interferring with making cards.

About two years ago I purchased the Spellbinders Baseball/Softball die along with the baseball brads from a store that was closing. Being from the town where "The Final Season" was filmed in large part, I wanted to do some cards done with the baseball theme. Well, it's taken me too long to come up with something. I finally got this card put together this morning for a little boy's birthday.

I chose the CB folder for the background on the Snickerdoodle cardstock from Lasting Impressions. The brown layer is cardstock from Stampin Up.

This was a card I kind of "threw together" using a piece I had already stamped and stored for future use. Stamp is from Paper Inspirations.

And finally, this was a new stamp I just purchased from Penny Black. I love coloring the Penny Black Hedgehog designs. Items I used were Powdered Sugar paper from Lasting Impressions, scrap of yellow for one of the layers, Nestabilities for cutting the layers and the CB Swiss Dots folder for embossing a portion of the front of the card. Coloring was done with Copic Markers.
