Here is a card I used as one of my submissions.  After a bit of searching, I came across this paper and decided to use red and white as my main colors.  I cut the pennant out, colored it with copics, stamped the sentiment and then added faux stitching around the edges.  I chose the stitched ribbon as I thought it went really well with the theme of this card and then I just had to add the cute baseball and bat buttons to finish it off.

This past week has been crazy!  Ashley ended up staying home sick Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday.  Turns out she had an ear infection and, they are assuming based on her symptoms, H1N1.  I am still fighting off whatever it is that I have. 


On Friday, we had our Daisy Troop Bake Sale at school and raised $262.50!  We are using that money to buy fleece material to make blankets for cancer patients at Children's Hospital for the Holidays.  And today, we had a Daisy outing at the Children's Museum ~ the girls had a great time!  I also have to add that both yesterday and today we were spoiled with temps in the upper 60's ~ a very nice welcome this time of year ~ I only wish it would last....
