Oh No!! Say it ain't so!!

Today I am posting 2 more cards for the challenges at Catch the Bug and I just realized I made a major mistake on this card.  Don't you just hate when that happens!!!  At least I haven't mailed it.  I'm hand delivering it on Sunday so I have time to fix it.  Can you tell what I did wrong?


 


 


The first card I made is a very special card because it is for my grandson's 9th birthday tomorrow.   Right now he plays winter basketball (although his passion is baseball) so I used the Bugaboo image  Lil Dude Basketball, printing it twice, coloring, fussy cutting the basketball and arm + a little extra for a tab, so I could make a small cut at the elbow, insert the other arm and basketball, then glue a spring between the two balls for a 3D look and so the ball would bounce.  The "Birthday Boy"  was cut on the cricut with the CTMH Scrapbooking Cartridge.
Then on the inside I used a computer generated sentiment, a Stampin Up Basketball hoop stamp, and cricut cut letters (CTMH Art Philosophy Cartridge).  This was a collaborative effort.  I was just going to include the word fun in the sentiment and 2nd generation stamp the net over it.  My DH suggested the letters of the word going into the net like a basketball.   (For those of you who are not up on basketball lingo....  "nothing but net" is when the ball goes through the net without hitting the backboard or rim.  So I was trying to make a play on this phrase when I wrote the sentiment.)

I am entering this card in the current Catch the Bug Stella Says Sketch Challenge

 
I am also entering this card in these other challenges:
The Paper Shelter Challenge # 142 - Digi Image + Sentiment
Crafting with Dragonflies Challenge #18 - Cards only Anything Goes

  2. This is cute - I really like how you did the basketball - you have so many great ideas! Your grandson will love it! My guess for the error is: missing the word "with" in the sentiment. I bet no one would even notice - everyone reads so fast these days LOL.

  4. LOL - did you forget to color his face? Great card anyway, I can see the possibilities ;>) The springy thing is perfect for this image and the fussy cutting is perfect for the latest LMMS challenge. Thanks for joining in the fun!!!
