I needed to make a birthday card for my nephew/godson Ethan so this week's Twisted Sister Challenge (to make a baseball card with your favorite team's colors) was perfect for some inspiration and motivation. This year Ethan discovered he has the gift of Baseball - he won the game ball several times and had a wonderful time. He will be 8, and his team is the Cats. The team colors are orange and blue (closely resembling Auburn - sorry Benzi).
I am sure the Twisted Sisters meant professional team, but since I don't know the first thing about professional baseball, I had to go with this cute little machine pitch team.

Nancy, I was going to tell you how adorable this little guy is...but, hmmm, what can I say since you have added that blue and orange. LOL You're too funny. O.K., I seriously love your adorable card. Next time, you'll have to do it in crimson and white, even if they are the wrong colors. :rolleyes:

Hey, Nancy, you may know nothing about professional baseball, but you sure know how to make an awesome card. Love this cute little baseball player and I think he is getting ready to get a home run.
