Hey Everyone! I hope that you are all well! I have been watching coverage of the wrath of Hurricane Matthew, and my heart is breaking for people being effected by this monster of a storm. If you are visiting my blog and you yourself are directly or indirectly effected by this storm you have my prayers and thoughts. I cannot fathom the devastation, fear, anxiety, and waves of emotions that each of them are feeling right now.
Stay strong and don't lose faith!
Today I am going to take a slight little cheat on my challenge. Its been a very long week, and I am in a great deal of pain, so I am not going to make a card today...what am I am going to do however is share with you a card that I made several months ago. I am not sure, but this card has somehow slipped through the cracks and didn't end up getting posted, but is sitting on my desktop waiting for its big reveal. I hope that you are all okay with me sharing it with you, and tomorrow I will return with a new card.
This card actually comes at perfect timing. I am a Toronto Blue Jays fan, and its been an exciting time with them winning their last couple games, I just hope that they can keep it up. The card I share with you today fits perfectly and ties so well into the baseball theme.
I really enjoyed creating this card, and truly love how this card turned out. I couldn't have asked for anything better. This card was a commission card and the recipient of it was my Uncle so it was a special card to be asked to make for him.
I hope that you all enjoy this!
Here is the front of the card...
