Whew! This was a multi-challenge for me today. For the very first time, my 7-yr-old granddaughter asked me to make her a card, specifically basketball, because she wants to be a basketball player. Or a gymnast. She hasn't quite decided. Maybe both. Anyway, the Alpha card challenge for this week is the letter O, so I decided to do the sketch challenge (for guidance on where to put stuff!), the Alpha challenge (extra credit for using Owls), and my granddaughter's request for a basketball card by combining all three and having a little girl who plays basketball for the Mighty Owls! Some of my markers bled, hopefully she won't notice, and the ink from the paper-pieced gym suit bled onto my little girl's chin. Oh well. I did make the larger bg paper by downloading a basketball image and repeatedly copying it across the pink paper. Now I'm pooped. TFL!

You may be pooped, but at least you had some fun time in the craft room! Really cute basketball card, and so perfect for a girl, Kandie! Love the direction each of the eyes are going on your die-cut owls~

Outstanding for Letter O, Kandie! Way to go combining all the challenges. Love the owl die-cut and their eyes. The background paper you created is fabulous for this one. Cute, cute image. Wonderful coloring. Love the layers. Fantastic job with the sketch! You used everything so well. I'm sure you will score points with your GDD with this card. TFS

Haha how adorable is this? Too too cute!! Your always so creative sis and your grandbaby is going to love this very much!!! She most likely won't notice. What you know what happened.
