Tuesday's Child



“Only as high as I reach can I grow, only as far as I seek can I go, only as deep
as I look can I see, only as much as I dream can I be.”
Karen Ravn




Today at Mo's Digital Challenge the talented Sheila is the hostess.. Her challenge is to
create a card with embossing.. I used my cb folder to dry emboss.. I cut out
the stars and added them to this sweet Tuesday's Child that is available
over at Mo's Digital Pencil Store.


Ball and card
Then I made it into an easel card which was Sheila's challenge for
last week that I missed..  This ball is the game ball my son was
awarded for hitting a grand slam and winning the game for his team.



I created my own ball with my circle nesties.  My sewing machine
actually has this stitch so I just drew lightly and stitched away..

Those of you that follow my blog know that it started out as
a rough year this baseball season... With lots of determination
and a few tears we had an amazing experience. 

Don't ever give up on your dreams...

    Oh wow! This is awesome! I love how you did a baseball to make the card stand up. And I love how you did the sky and grass too! The embossing on the stars is a great added touch!

    This is a wonderful card Dawn. I also have a baseball player just finishing his league season and getting ready for tournament ball. This is a perfect image for all the coach's cards I need to make. I love how you used the baseball as the prop to keep the card standing and the authentic stitching on it is great. Beautiful coloring too.

    Whoops! I meant to say "baseball sentiment PANEL" - left a word off - but you probably realised what I meant.
