Yes! Red, white and blue- go PHILLIES! This week, Shirley challenged the Twisted Sisters to make a baseball themed card, using the colors of their favorite team. Since I know as much about Baseball as I do dieting, I went with the good 'ol red, white and blue- Phillie Fever! Kinda hard not to be a Phillie Fan after spending a week with Greenie- who gave this yummy baker's twine! (Thanks Sis!) So, CA sorry about them Giants....had to do it!
The main image is from Changitos and is watercolored. The inside senti, also from Changito, reads "Have a swingin' time". The bubble gum has a serious coat of Crystal Effects to make it pop and shine.
Hope you can join the Twisted Ones. If you do, please add TSC0610 to your key words so we can PLAY BALL with you! Thanks for looking!

Haaa! What a fun image! A week with Greenie you say. Sounds like fun. You know Lesley will love this too. Great card. Your reference to knowing about as much about baseball as you do about dieting made me "snort". Moosh.

This is so adorable, love the big bubble. Phillie's? You must be confused. I know you are a Cardinal's fan. We ate dinner with a whole slew of them in St Louis.

Back from a quick (?) visit after church to see Daria, but had to come comment on this little monkey card! He has his "chew", just like the big league players, just glad he is blowing bubbles instead of spitting!!
Adorable image of him - hey, he has a good swing - and LOVE that BUBBLE he is blowing as he goes for a HOME RUN! Thats what you scored when you made this card in Phillies Colors!!
Your CBed BG, popped up nesties, and your twine-button-baseball-gingham embellie "bouquet" is just awesome!! Perfect finishing touch on the challenge, Sis! You always bring a smile to the gallery for us riders! LYMI - Hugs!

Hmm...red, white, and blue could be a LOT of teams...Braves and Cubs come to my mind and I am sure there are LOTS more...I love baseball much more than dieting!
Your card is EVERYTHING irishgreensue already said...so I won't type it all again, lol!
