Let's Get Physical - Sports Day May Challenge

Hello blogging friends. I hope that the April Showers we had have created a bumper crop of May flowers!

It is certainly so for my area of the country. Last year we were in the most horrid drought and the hottest temperatures ever!

But, hey! Magnolia-licious Highlites has a super fun blog hop for you this month.

I've entitled my post "Let's Get Physical" and our theme for this month is sports.

Do you remember the fabulous collection that came out a while back called "Winner Takes All"?

We are challenging you to create a sports related project/card using images from that collection. It will be so much fun. So grab your markers, paper and stamps and let us see what you come up with!

And, since this is a Blog Hop, if you've hopped on over from the amazingly talented Sharon's Blog then your batting 1000! If you're starting here please return back to Home Plate at Magnolia-licious Highlites Blog and pick up the batting order at the beginning! You surely don't want to miss even one project that the DT have pulled together for you. From my blog you will hop on over to the delightful and uber talented Mindy's blog to see what she has done!

For my card I used #206 Baseball Tilda. She is currently available along with many many other totally awesome images from this collection If you know me at all you know that I'm a huge baseball fan - particularly the Texas Rangers! I have watched every game so far this season (and last) and plan to attend several in person over the summer and fall. So naturally I chose Baseball Tilda.

I will admit however, that I became brain dead at the beginning of the creating process and this card took me much longer to make than it should have. Sheesh!! So enough of my mindless preamble, let me show you my card...

Here is a close up of Tilda and I must say I really love coloring this little sweetie...

On the inside of my card I created a sentiment panel using a sentiment from Artistic Outpost.

My salutation panel leaves lots of room to write out a personal message...

Here is the entire card inside...

And last but not least, the artsy view...
