Welcome to day 2 of Power Poppies new release. This set is my favorite for so many reasons.
We are a baseball family and I love every minute of it. When I am not stamping I am watching my son play ball.
My son has been playing since he was 3. I grew up listening ( before we had a TV) to the Chicago Cubs on the radio as my dad worked outside on hot summer days. Harry Carry would be blasting the play by play.
I stamped my image onto X-Press It paper and colored with Copics. I cut out a circle with Spellbinders and added a baseball seam which is one of the stamps in this set. It is stocked full of awesome stamps. So many possibilities. I then added an array of circles (which is not the norm for me) and left a little spot uncut on the top for a shaped card. This set will be available over at Power Poppy Play Ball on June 1st.
Here is my sweet baseball player..almost taller than I am these days:
