Football Crazy!

Good Morning everyone! 

It's Monday once again & time for this weeks challenge over at

Eureka Stamps, where the theme is

#158 Fall Sports - Football/Soccer/Cheerleader

The cute little image I have used is

Digi 14203 Soccer Boy

(It gets a bit confusing, as we call Soccer football in the UK! Lol)

I used a 6"x6" square base in grass green.

The papers are by Papermania & I've had them forever.

I coloured the image with my promarkers, then cut out 

with an X-cut square die. 

I inked around the edges with a Colour Q 

liquid chalk ink pad, while the image was still in the die.

The sentiment was printed, trimmed & then inked.

The photo corners are from a Sports themed scrapbooking set 

that I found in a bargain bin at a craft show.

 I do love a bargain, don't you?

The die cut trophy is from a blog candy that I won years ago.

The little die cut fishtail was in my scrapbox,. 

Thanks so much for popping in today, I hope you like my card &

Good Morning all,

It's Wednesday & that means it's time for a fab new challenge over at 

Dude Time Doodles!

This week we have a really fun challenge for you!

First of all here's my card!

The Challenge we have for you is Bingo!

I chose the diagonal, twine,step card,brads.

The image is Ted TightEnd

On the football field, he's a bit of a scary character but off the field, 

he's a real pussycat!

I coloured him up with promarkers & fussy cut him out,

before mounting him on to the card with foam squares for dimension.

The card base was made using an A4 sheet of cardstock.

I used a Pop Out Step Card Template from 

Debbie Lauder over at Craftystash

It's so simple to use & saved on waste too, as there is an elements sheet included!

The papers I have used were a freebie download by Shabby Princess

I think they are fantastic & they were just what I wanted for this card!

I printed the striped paper directly on to the card stock & printed 

the template on the reverse.

I cut it out using a craft knife & ruler then embossed the fold lines 

with an embossing tool & ruler.

I added the sentiment to the panels in my graphics programme. 

The font I have used is called Collegiate & you can download it free from here!

I distressed all of the panels with a red inkpad before assembling the 

card & added twine & brads from my stash.

I have to say I was really happy with the way this one turned out!

I hope you like him too! Thanks so much for stopping by!
