Baseball...my favorite sport!

Well, for my son it is.  I'm not much into sports.   I prefer to go to baseball & soccer games.  But, that could be because my favorite seasons are Spring & Fall.  Anyway,  my creation today is a scrapbook page for my son.  He loves baseball and so this Edwin #140, Baseball Cap fit the page!







Paper:  Stampin Up Simply Scrappin' Party Pieces
Brads:  Hot Off The Press Baseball Brads

Colors:  Face:  E000, E02 - Hair: E31, Y11, Y26 - Cap:  R29, R27, R35, a little Prisma Color pencil - Body:  Stampin UP Watercolor Wonder Crayons in Earth Elements & Neutrals (Basic Black, Going Gray, Pumkin Pie, Not Quite Navy) - Wings:  Crystal Stickles

This was my first time trying the watercolor crayons.  Not as bad as I thought.  I still have a ways to go on my shading.  Can't wait for the Coloring Craze class at My Creative Classroom to start next week.

I'm entering this into the Stampin Sisters In Christ Challenge #24 - Matthew 18:4.   The challenge is to:  Make a card or project with an image of a child or childlike things on it (such as toys or a saying about children), but not a baby card. 

The verse this is based on says:  

For an answer Jesus called over a child, whom he stood in the middle of the room, and said, "I'm telling you, once and for all, that unless you return to square one and start over like children, you're not even going to get a look at the kingdom, let alone get in. Whoever becomes simple and elemental again, like this child, will rank high in God's kingdom. What's more, when you receive the childlike on my account, it's the same as receiving me.  Matthew 18:2-5 (Message)

Thanks for stopping by.
