On Wed (6/10) my co-worker got a call from her son Jamie - he just got a call while at Blockbuster Video that he'd been drafted by the Cincinnati Reds! He played his college ball at Mercyhurst College in PA. Needless to say our whole department is so excited for him & the family.
This wine bottle from St. John's Road was my inspiration for today's challenge. Obviously I chose the bottle w/ the baseball players on it!!
I printed the Reds logo from the computer. punched a SU large oval & mounted it on popdots. I colored the played w/ pencils & baby oil. The light gray panel went through the diamond cuttlebug folder.
Thanks Stef for another wonderful inspirations site.
I'm off to a graduation party so will check out the gallery & comment later this evening.
Thanks for stopping by for a look.

No, no, no ~ you've got it all wrong, Ms Nurse. It's the NY Yankees. What's up with this. Oh no, you didnt did you? Is that why you cant keep your teams straight? Love your coloring on this one, Karen. Super masculine card, not an easy thing to create. There's a card in my gallery about Redbugdriver.
