72 hr. challenge at Gerda Steiner Designs

Yesterday I received an email from Gerda Steiner Designs announcing a 72 hr challenge and a link to download this adorable digi image free.  Since my grandson's baseball games were moved from 4 & 6 to 6 & 8 due to early morning thunderstorms, I had some extra time to make this card.

 

 I was  tired of coloring and decided to just paper piece everything.  I have a box with card fronts just waiting for the right image, and this one looked perfect.  The evenly spaced paper piercing was done on the sewing machine without thread.  I added a bit of faux stitching around the die cut.  And the sentiment is a CTMH stamp.

I am adding this card to the following challenges: 

Crafty Friends Challenge #10 - Use a punch (The top and bottom striped borders were made with the leftover strip created when I use one of my border punches.  Waste not.)

Send a Smile 4 Kids Challenge - Bright Colors 

Polkadoodles Challenge Week 29 - 2 or more Patterned Papers

Digi Galore July Challenge - Summery and Bright

Once again my grandson's team has advanced to the final game of this week-end's tournament.

I have 2 hours before we head back to the ball field.  (We were already there for a 9am game earlier this morning.)  We are all hoping they collect a 1st place trophy this week.  I'll let you know tomorrow when I post my Mojo Monday card.
