Oh this week we are making cards for a young man in the hospital in Texas. And he LOVES baseball! YEAH BABY!!!!!!!!!! In my opinion, there isn't anything better than a game of BASEBALL!!!!!!!!! So I hooked up the Silhouette and looked for some baseball images. You can't see it well in the photo, but my red stripes actually have baseball stitching on them. IRL they show up very well. Adhered my sentiment and it's done. Quite easy except for the Silhouette part....still trying to master this machine And of course I used red, white & blue because this is an ALL AMERICAN GAME!!!!! Thanks ladies, for taking a look see!

How cool to have the stitching in RED!! We are big baseball fans here, so I had plenty of images to choose from. I envy you your Silhouette machine......I'd love to have one, but I have so much STUFF, I have no idea where I'd put one!! Love that sentiment you made! Go RED Sox!

I love your sentiment - now I am singing that song (in Harry's voice in my head of course). I am jealous you have a machine to do things like cutout things that look stitched - but I know I would never be able to figure it out! Fun! Great card. Hugz!

So great to make a card to cheer up a young hospital patient. He'll love your card. I too am getting used to my Silhouette, but so far I really love it and I'm considering upgrading to the Cameo because I got the Portrait one since I wasn't even sure if/how I'd use it.

Pretty cool, Mary! The sentiment is as if a Grand Slam has just been hit, the fans are standing up and cheering, the crowd goes wild! Great CAS card with a baseball theme!

Must be time for the seventh inning stretch because it is time to sing!!! "Take me out to the ballgame..."! LOL Awesome card, absolutely a major part of the game! Very cool stitching even if we can't see it that well. I am sure Jordan will LOVE it! Great job Mary!!!
