It's FOOOOOOOOOOTBALL Time!

I am a "House Divided".  One son went to the Citadel and then to Clemson . The other son is a die-hard University of South Carolina Gamecock.  So, I have tiger and rooster sounds in my house.

With my oldest son and daughter-in-law being Clemson (grads) through and through, their children are also Clemson Tiger Fans.  I made each a personalized card.

Doodle Pantry was one of my top 3 image shops I adored. I was also on the Design Team for many years.  My very first digital image I purchased online was from Laurie, the artist and developer of Doodle Pantry.  You can no longer purchase images; her shop is closed. Sigh!

Doodle Pantry Football Birdie, cut out extra head and attached with
pop-ups for added dimension, also pop-ups for cloud and football.

A2, football was a .svg from Silhouette Store, used Peachy Keen face
on cloud punch.

Diamond Stickles was on girl tiger paw and all were machine stitched.
Angle view to help show dimension.

Go Gamecocks

Ok...not a great start for the football season, but we love them.  Actually, we are a "house divided".  My youngest son lives and breathes Carolina....USC!

I have less than one hour to meet deadline for From The Hearts Challenge...use any past sketch.  I love the Birdbrain Football Fanatics.  See the sketch below that I used.

Gooooo USC Gamecocks

Oh Yeah....the big game is almost here...USC Gamecocks and the Georgia Bulldogs!

My son is a freshman at USC with not much chance of getting a ticket...$170 for the nosebleed section. ESPN with be there in the "horseshoe" so he'll be in the middle of that along with some tailgating.

I sorta broke my promise not to make anymore football theme cards...what was I thinking??? At least, I sorta made it into a Halloween card. I thought it was rather clever disguising the Gamecock mascot in a ghost sheet...heehee  I'm sending this to Hunter.  You will be happy to know that he is walking with little assistants, smiling, saying a few words and yes...watching FOOTBALL on TV.

I used my Silhouette Cameo to "print and cut" the Gamecock, then used the Trace and Offset keys to made the perfect little ghost sheet for the Gamecock.  I made a little tab so you could flip it up to see the Gamecock.   The little ghost is from the Silhouette store.

Helmet for Hunter

Promise, Promise....this is the last sport related card for at least 3 weeks.  I made this for Hunter being male, an athlete, sports fan and a USC Gamecock student.  I don't do enough "man" cards, so this being football season, never better than the present to get started...haha

I used Game Day collection from SVGCuts to make this a football helmet shaped card.  Mary has sooo many wonderful sets and the svgs are clean, precise along with excellent directions.

University of South Carolina.....Go Gamecocks!!!!
