Tomboy

My oh my....just loving the weather we are having this Thanksgiving weekend!  Lots of sunshine and nice warm temperatures.  I wish it could stay like this all year, but we know that isn't to be.


So how about a card with a nice outdoor feel.   My youngest daughter was into this sport, and I spent many a time watching her play.  She would have loved to have had those braids too...but her hair just wouldn't grow long.   This little image is a digi from Tickled Pink Stamps, and goes by the name Baseball Pippa.  I've coloured her up with Prisma pencils and OMS, cutting and framing with a Nestie die.

The papers are from the Pinkpaislee Queen Bee selection, layered over pale yellow cardstock to make this fancy fold card.  A few punched flowers and greenery adds some interest, but also brings to mind the memories of the younger ones picking wild flowers in the outfield....waiting for the ball to come to them (lol).

The sentiment...Remember When, is an old stamp from Inkadinkado, while the ticket is from a set from Just Inklined.

We'll soon be looking at snow and winter coats again, so enjoy the day and be sure to get outside while you can!
