Good afternoon! Today I am going to share a project that I made for
Emma's Throwback Thursday Challenge!
This is her challenge: "This challenge is
a SPORTS
CHALLENGE! Use any sports cartridge you have & if you don't own any
sports theme carts, just use anything you have & just make sure it
has something to do w/sports!:) ***Make a card, layout or anything you want!!"
I
decided to make a goody bag for a friend of the family who "Lives,
Breathes, and Eats Baseball"...lol! This is his first year in college
and his first baseball game is coming up. So I thought it would be nice
to fill it up with some seeds, gum, and a sports drink. I tried to keep
it simple (because he is a guy...lol) and I really like the way it
turned out!
Here it is:
Using "Sports Mania Cricut Cartridge", Baseball is life was cut at 3 1/2 inches and the baseball border was cut at 1 1/2
inches. Since the baseball border didn't have a shadow feature, I used
my gypsy to hide the threads of the baseball and cute that one in red
and just cut another border out in white without hiding the threads.
If
it's noticeable, I sponged the edges of the baseballs to help them look
a little distressed. I like to do that anytime that I have white card
stock against kraft!
To
give it more interest I added a few details on my font. I think adding
this added a whole lot and made it look even better...lol!
On the back of the goody bag, I just placed his number. I used "Boys
will be Boys" for the #5 and had it cut at 4 1/2 inches. I think I might
even add a tag to the handles of the bag and stamp good luck on it, I
don't know yet!
Well I hope you like it and good luck to all the ladies that participated in
MCT Challenge!
