The best of both worlds for the Sports Fans in your life are merging when you have Gina K Designs' Just so Sporty & JustRite Stampers small letter set! One of the first things I thought of (and the first 2 cards I made when I got Melanie's new set) are for my 2 brother-in-laws who live in the Bay Area & are huge Raiders fans!! I just had to pair them with my DCWV All Dressed Up mat stack Melanie gave me for my birthday in June - with the silver & black & glitterness it's just a match made in sports heaven! I chose the sketch for these cards from the Mother's & Daughters challenge blog because it causes the hoodie & jersey to be the main attractions!! Then, my finishing touch was my Copic silver glitter pen - they are so awesome! I'm about to get the complete set of colors (right now I use the clear, silver, gold and I have green)! Funny/cute Gabby story now:
I called her on Monday night when the Raiders were playing the Broncos (boo they lost 14 to 41) and when she got on the phone & said hi in the cutest voice ever I asked her how she was doing and she FINALLY caught on and said, "GOOD" very emphatically-it was so cute! My sisters and I have been trying to be consistent in teaching her responses and usually she would not understand how to respond to that question. Well, she does now!!
Then I asked her what she was doing (another standard question she may grow to be annoyed by some day) she responded, 'brushing my teeth', 'mommy's brushing her teeth too' and when I asked what daddy was doing she said, 'he's taking pictures at the Raiders game' HELLO!? she is 2 1/2! she responded to me like a BIG GIRL! She wasn't making that up. He does take pictures down on the field with his brother (my BIL is a professional photographer) so if you're in the Oakland area, let me know if you need a referral! I thought that was so cute! These conversations are getting so stinkin' fun!

This is so fun Donna!! Gabby is getting to be such a big girl!! I felt the same way when Taylor finally started responding to me on the phone instead of sitting there and giggling..although, I sorta loved that too!!
Wow - great card and great story!!! Thanks so much for playing along with us!
Love these Donna..Those t's by Melanie keep calling my name..You probably put me over the edge with the football theme! Great idea!!
Ok.. I have to get that for my son who is a psycho Cowboys fan. Ok, waht is wrong with this picture. I live in Cali and we love the Cowboys and your showin' off Oakland Raiders??? Haha!! Funny! But you just sold me this set because of this. My son would LOVE a card that said COWBOY fan!! :)

Well, I would say it's cute, but I just can't condone a Raiders card, sorry! hee! hee! You need to make a Chiefs one (even though they do suck!). I will admit that it has a nice glittery texture! *wink*
