At the Fields....


This time of year our evenings and our week nights are spent at the baseball field.  With three players this year, we rarely have a night free.  Pat has coached Ryan's team for six years now so several of the boys have been together for along time which always makes for a fun time at the fields.

On Saturday, we were short a player and our old neighbors and dear friends, the Glomskis, were visiting for the weekend.  So...Ryan and Cooper convinced Josh to play with them.  They had a great time!  And came away with a 15-1 win on Ryan's pitching :)

And of course, I rarely leave you without a card!  I loved the black pattern on this current Runway Inspired Challenge and the flashes of color.  I played along using my Craft's Meow Retro Backgrounds  set and added a rainbow of colors to make a fun birthday card.  Hope your week is going well!

I love the purple baseball uniforms. Wonderful pictures Lynn. Your card is also wonderful. I think it is excellent how you stamped the 'rainbow' of colours over that cool background.

Gosh, Ryan is getting older looking each time I see a photo of him - what a handsome young man he is, Lynn! He must be quite the pitcher - only letting in one run? That's awesome!

Love your fun take on the inspiration photo! The way you only added a bit of the colors along the side looks very cool! :)

I love the rainbow of colors paired with that simple black and white background. I'm glad you got a chance to play along with the Runway Inspired Challenge between baseball games and practices.

Love how you used the colours but not the obvious houndstooth pattern! Great design :0)
Sounds like a busy sports rota..... Will you get to the point all four are playing in the team???
