I am so excited and honored to be one of the chosen Honorary Queens for the Royal Blog Tour. I am actually considering doing the tours in my gown with a glass of bubbly! (Of course the only gown I own is a night gown, lol)
I am sure you will enjoy the tours. Be sure to check them all out, you will be amazed at the amount of talent that you will see. Remember that all of these people belong to the Latenightstampers group and share their fabulous work there all the time. Ask me how you can become a member of this fabulous group too! We would love to have you join us and share your talent.
So for my spot on the tour I will be showcasing the stamp set Sporting. I chose this set because I don't see many samples with it in any of the regular spots so thought it would be a fun challenge. You all know how much I love to make things harder for myself. I think this set has so much potential.
As we are beginning the new baseball/softball season I thought it would be appropriate to make a thank you card for the coach! I went with patriotic colors since baseball is so American!
Sticking with the baseball theme for a bit more I thought this would be a fun idea. I did this for a girls team but I think it would be fun for either. Each week the coach picks a player as the MVP and gives them the game ball, I thought it would be neat to also give them one of these bookmarks. I left a spot on the bottom for the coach to write a little something to each child. Now they will have another reminder of just how AWESOME they are!
Still on the baseball them is this 8 x 8 scrapbook page of my son last year. He had never played baseball before he joined this team and he did a great job. Unfortunately he chose not to play again this year.
Now I thought I would show you a few cards that are not really sport themed. They are more love themed. You know like to that Most Valuable Person in your life to let them know you love them.
I hope you have enjoyed my samples for this tour and I also hope I have shown you some ideas for this set. It really is fun and versatile. The samples in the catalog are super too! In case you didn't notice them they are on page 78 of the current catalog.
