Well I wasnt the only one that bought stamps today, my little guy Mr. Christopher bought some stamps and had to come home and make his first card. We had soo much fun because we were stamping together. He asked me if I could upload this to sc so the ladies that he met today can see his card. He calls Irene Ira dont ask me why and asked me to make sure I send Joanne a picture of his card too.
1 balloon punch x 3, he had the best time punching the balloon, opening my su stamp pads and using tons of my mono adhesive tape...
If you could be soo kind to leave Mr. Christopher a comment on his first card, that would be great~

Oh wow, batter up is right with this one, Christopher! What a great you've made! Those are some really neat stamps you've used. Bet you'll be able to use them again since baseball season has started. Great card, Christopher!

Christopher!! wowsa! I LOVE your card!!... Those punched balloons add just the right touch! I wish your Mom knew who made that stamp! I'm sure I could use such a stamp for the next umpteen years.... maybe she could stamp out a few and send them to me.. we could do an image swap! That way I won't have to buy any more softball/baseball stickers ;)...
Wonderful job! I'm so glad you asked your Mom to share it here on SCS!!

Hi Christopher-congrats on making your first card! I'm sure it won't be your last, but the first of many more to come. Also congrats on your first upload to the SCS Gallery. Your card is AWESOME! We just spent 8 days at the ballpark watching the Junior College World Series. I told your Mom you guys should plan to come watch one of these years. GREAT job on your FIRST card. Can't wait to see more so keep stamping!
