I Know...Baseball Season is Over....

Good morning! I know baseball is coming to an end and football season has begun....but I kind of forgot I had created this card over the summer! It uses a Crafty Secret's set called, Play Ball. I used my Tim Holtz Distress Markers to color it in. (Love those markers!) I love the watercolored/distressed effect they give to the image. Since I really couldn't use glitter or lace as an embellishment.....I opted for a baseball glove and baseball from the set. ; ) Oh, and a black pearl too! (That's manly right?)
I am off and running again this morning!  I have a meeting at Cort's school today to talk with her teacher and speech therapist.  We are looking into a new communication device for her and we are having a difficult time settling on a device.  So hopefully today we can come to some sort of agreement.  Sometimes this stuff wears me out.......but it has to be done....so I keep plugging away! 
I hope you have a great day, and thank you my friends for visiting this blog.  It truly is my escape from the day and I love your visits!

    I like this card. So hard to do masculine cards.
    I do know what you mean about those meetings. e used to have 3 1/2 hours IEP meetings. No one could agree on who was to do what.....school vs. county. I always left after 3 hours. It is draining.

    Love this! Going to have to buy this set. Do you like the Tim holtz better than Coptic? Or is there a differenc? Thanks for the inspiration!
