Softball Thank You Cards

I just love the Game On paper - I love that you can add any color to it. In these samples I added Cranberry. Plus that star paper is just a favorite of mine so I love to use it and it's perfect for all sport themes! Here are the cards that I created at the end of the softball season. I used the Thanks stamp set and Let's Play Ball stamp set on all three cards.
***
This one was for the Team Sponsor - all of the kids on the team signed this one. I couldn't figure out what was bugging me about this card until I took the picture - the crooked stars are driving me crazy now, but it's obviously too late to fix! I used the "On The Edge" pattern from Wishes.


***
This one was for Daddy since he was one of their coaches. I used the "Up In The Corner" pattern from Wishes.
***
And this one was for their other coach and his two older daughters that helped in the dugout. I used the "Framework" pattern from Wishes.


And this is what I made for each of the girls on the team - there is a little packet of Propel Raspberry Lemonade mix tied to the tag - I love that stuff! I used my Coluzzle to cut two circles out of Bamboo and Cranberry CS then I used my corner rounder to create the scallop on the Cranberry circle. I used the Circle Around stamp set for the stars, the Say It In Style stamp set for the "Way to go!" and the Let's Play Ball stamp set for the ball.

And here is a quick slideshow of their softball season - the girls had fun and did really well, I think. Their team is made up of 5-8 year olds and they are batting using a pitching machine, which pitches around 30 mph, so I think that's impressive! Their team only won two games but some of them were pretty close. Their last game was on Wednesday and last night we had a pizza party at the park. The other coach's wife brought squirt guns so they had fun getting each other wet, especially their coaches! Brianna did really well, especially since it was her first year, and Kaylee has improved so much since last year - I can't wait to see how they do next year!
