Happy Birthday Devon

On Monday my nephew turned 14.  His current love

is golf.  For the last 2 yrs. he's made the Little League PGA Golf 

All-Star team and gone out to California.  He's done well too.

As you may have noticed I have TONS of golf stamps but

most of them are "old" people.  At least I'm sure those are

the words he would use.  So, I decided to "free-hand" a golf

green and go from there.

The sentiment is from Art Impressions.  The image is from

Stampendous.  The ball and hole were made with Spellbinders

dies.  I embossed the ball with a Cuttlebug folder and the grass

was done with a Sizzix texture plate.  The number 14 was

a Sizzix Sizzlitt set.

It's soccer season!

Soccer season?  That makes it sound like it's a temporary occurrence.  In our house soccer lasts from the last week of August until the 3rd week of June.  My kids have a lot of friends who play soccer and I know this card will come in handy.  I tried repeatedly to cut the pentagons freehand with no luck so ultimately I ended up printing a template.  I drew in the lines with a black marker and then painted the black squares and gray highlighting with acrylic paint.   I really like how realistic looking it turned out.
