This is my card for the alpha challenge J post #834. I'm pretty sure I have a stamp with a jack image, but have no idea where it is, so rather than spend time looking, I went online & found some clip art. I printed the image is several sizes to get more depth on my card. Part 2 of the challenge is to use some designer paper that I would probably never use. I think it's way too busy and should have given it a light coating of white acrylic paint to tone it down. I think that would be much better. But, as you can see, it's too late for that now.
I had to pull out my jacks & see if I could still play. Other than the fact that the ball is old & didn't want to bounce very well, I didn't do too bad.

Just so clever! This is fabulous for Letter J. You are so creative. The clip-art looks great. I like the strip on the diagonal. The paper is good, too. The swirls give movement and draws the eye in. It's a visual clue to the action of the game. Love how you staged your photo with 'real' jacks. How fun that you tried your hand at the game. Cute sentiment! This would be a good card to give with a set of jacks. Great card. Love it. TFS

Such a fun card. Do they even make jacks anymore? It was one of my favorite games. I remember playing on my great grandmother's porch! Your card does bring back memories. I love it and the staging.
