I found out while trying to make this card that there is absolutely no way mutnik and I can be related. Trying to make this scene filled my recycle bin. This one smeared too right by the ball so that is why I added a little bit of grass (a mutnik solution!!). I simply could not start over. Sis, sent me a copy of her background and I tried to put my card together to resemble it!!!
My Bad News BassethoundsÂ’ player is Billy #11. After the picnic (see mutnikÂ’s card), all team members posed for individual team pictures. I would love to come up with a fun story for our Teaparty but it is so hard when a young man is facing chemo tomorrow. I just want Andrew to see that a lot of us silly teapartiers are sending him thoughts and prayers to get through this difficult time. I know homemade cards make me feel better and I hope they will for Andrew too. I will mail this tomorrow.
I love Tuesdays and the awesome group of people who make it such a fun time.
Thank you for looking!!!

First of all, I beg to differ! You are so your sister's sister! Tea hee! Hey, that's what makes great cards, the journey to get to the finish line right? Oh, whoops, that's a different teaparty...hey, oohh...NASCAR! Okay, sorry off on a tangent!
This card is incredible and you have all the wonderful talent to come up with the idea and get it on paper! I love it! That is quite the baseball bassethound bad news dude! Those long lanky legs, ole #11 is gonna be quite the fielder I think and base runner. Yah, isn't there a designated runner dude? He is it!

Connie, you can't compare yourself to Mutnik. There can only be one Mutnik. You are an artist in your own right and style. I love your little doggie. I love the pants he is wearing. That grass idea is an awesome save. 42000 "Ruffs" go up as a cheer for this card for Andrew. I know he is going to love it!!

A critter in pants..... Gotta love that! Oh Connie, your card is incredible- fun, sweet and heart warming. By your words, I can tell that much prayer is on this too, and I know Andrew will feel it. Bless your heart. Your Mutniky bg is fabo! And the tree? Nobody does trees like you, and I love that this card rests in the best photo shot place evah! Love it! Hugs.....
