Yesterday it was Dodge Balls over at the Teapot Tuesday Challenge. TodayÂ’s sketch with the half circle reminded me again of balls. Then on the radio the DJs were talking about deep fried jell-o balls. So that is where this card originatedÂ…..
If you follow MMTPT you probably have herd of Curt. Well yesterday he was selling his designer Dodge Balls. Must say they went pretty fast. hehe So today he just wanted you all to know he has a new supply. They will soon be ready for purchase, just need to be decorated. heheÂ…..my card detailsÂ….
I sketched this card at my first pool. When I got home I put it on cs. Guess you could consider this a CAS one layer card. Using sharpie pens, I colored the dark bg, frame and smaller circle. With re-inkers I floated some colors on my circles. Went to set up to take the photo, tipped over a cup and out popped Curt! That crazy cow! So I just had to put him on my card and incorporate him into the story.
Today was the second day of over 100 degree heat. I think my brain is fried. Hopefully that would explain my card and story today. heheÂ…Â…..Well, I will return later, off to see DD and help her with some chores.Â…Â….TFL :0)

I do hope you are getting a bit of the profits, as you are providing awesome advertising for sweet Curt! What a really cute and fun card - it appears Curt has a lot of work to do decorating all the balls!
