My new Send Love Today recipient of my silly cards is Caleb and he is 9 years old and has had a very bad year. He likes football so I checked out the colors for the Corn Huskers and used a digi image from Dude Time Doodles which you can find here . They have such cute images and are so nice in helping old people like me when they have a problem. I am also making this exact card for Bobby Riddle but I have not found a color yet for a New Mexico team to color the image. Bobby had a terrible accident and you can find the story here . Before the accident he helped a lot of kids and we want to encourage him to fight and get better and so my card for him will reflect him as a coach. Also, this was taken in the afternoon with the sun shining on my tree. One image was too light and this one is almost too dark. I kind of like the idea of a night football game though. I did little plays on each corner - go right - go middle - go right and stay (stay? I think I have done too many dog cards lately or they could pull them off sides!!) If anyone needs me as a assistant coach....I am available for the right price!!!
Thank you for looking. comments always appreciated.
Hugs to all of my Sisters!!!!

Oh my gosh this is so cute. I love that you wrote out little plays like that. It really looks great Connie Jo. He is going to love this card. Super job.

CJ9, what have we here? I see your sister got you all dialed up into the dude sitte. They have perfect guy images! I think your card is just delightful. I'm so glad to see you back stamping. You must have gotten that whole publisher thing down pat by now. Who knows, you may ever know more about it than I do. I know, it's hard to image isnt it? I like how you admitted to being an old lady. Finally .....

WHAT? I am a die-hard Husker fan and missed this earlier - some how I put in a wrong search number and it came up by accident today - what a fortunate mishap as it gave me a chance to view this masterpiece! That is one awesome Husker. I know nothing about x's and o's, but yours certainly look authentic. maybe the Cornhusker coach will hire you for your expertise.
