There Was a Game On Yesterday

I didn't watch it. We don't even have cable (Netflix and Hulu only kind of family), so if we had wanted to watch it we would have had to go out to do so, but we didn't want to watch it. LOL! SO... we stayed in. It was quite lovely! I will likely look up some of the commercials, I know I want to see the Iron Man trailer that was shown for SURE! I'm also pretty sure there was a good Star Trek trailer, so I'll have to check that out, too. It's not that I hate football, I don't... it's just that if the Patriots aren't playing, I'm really not interested. LOL! And The Hubbums really doesn't much care for football, so if they play, we go out and watch it... if they don't, we stay home and enjoy a quiet Sunday afternoon, and that is exactly what we did yesterday.


My Dad, on the other hand LOVES football! I'm pretty sure he would like this card. I love this football stamp from the Gourmet Rubber Stamps Truffles line! It's got a bit of vintage without going overboard! LOVE THAT!  And.. just for fun, I'm linking this up to the challenge over at Inspired By!


What did YOU do yesterday? Watch the game? Pretend to watch the game and actually paper craft the whole time? Not even pretend and just make stuff like I did?! LOL! Whatever you chose to do, I hope it was fabulous!!!

Have a Happy, folks!

Are You Ready for Some Football???

That's right! It's September and that means that fall is quickly approaching! Here in Massachusetts fall means many things to many people. We have apple picking, cider, hay rides, pumpkin patches, the best Yankee Candles of the year, cool, crisp, beautiful air, colorful, crunchy leaves on the sidewalk...we've got it all! BUT...one thing tends to stand out around here. Football. Fan or not, you really can't avoid it. It's just part of the landscape here in New England. You see, our sports fans tend to be a bit...hmmm...passionate. Sure. We'll use that word instead of crazy. HAHAHA! So, this being my first post over at Sweet 'n Sassy Stamps as guest designer for September, I decided to celebrate that football tradition with this fun card!


I used the super cute Cocoa football stamp from the All Star Cocoa set for this card! He is SO CUTE!!! I layered My Mind's Eye squares cut with Spellbinder's dies for the background. Cocoa is paper pieced with Coordinations Cardstock and Basic Grey paper for the football. A bit of May Arts burlap string is the perfect fiber for this card! I wanted a fall type sentiment so I decided to go with sort of a back to school vibe with the Dream Big sentiment from the Dream Big set. This is a gorgeous stamp set! I love the sentiments in it!


I hope you will check out Sweet 'n Sassy Stamps! I'll be designing with their fabulous team all month! YAY!!!!

Have a super happy Tuesday!!!
