Well, Pam at 365 Cards tried to convince us that we are long overdue for a Sports theme card. Our orders from headquarters were to use a ball on our cards. No problem! I had a choice of a golf ball, a baseball, and a football. Since the football was the biggest, and I would have less card to fill with 'other stuff', I chickened out and chose the football! Pam, if you are reading, we tease you a lot, but your ideas are endless and fun! Keep on keepin' on!!!
My card is really simple. I started with Gina K. Design's downloadable paper (on Stamp TV, in the Freebies section - really!). The football is Inkadinkado, and the stopwatch is clip art. The sentiment is a fun quote from Erma Bombeck.
If you can't read the sentiment, it says, "Thanksgiving dinners take eighteen hours to prepare. They are consumed in twelve minutes. Half-time takes twelve minutes. This is no coincidence".
How true!
And...can you believe that football season is upon us already? I think I would love football as much as I love baseball if the Referees would let the players play ball. I get tires of those flags flying on every play!
Let the games begin...
Have a blessed Sunday!

Baseball players really are smarter than football players - how many times have you ever seen a baseball team penalized for too many players on the field?

Oh I love it....as much as I love football!
I watched the redskins and patriots the other day and was hooping and hollering during an interception and touchdown and the kids were yelling to dad...."oh no football season started!" lol tis the season, yay!
Have a wonderful weekend Patti!
Blessings, Maria
Excellent sentiment! What a great card!!
oh ain't that the truth! My sweet MIL and I slave away every holiday to have it gobbled up in that span of time. what a nice card for the challenge
Love it Patti. Nice freebie from Gina K too. I usually watch her weekly videos but have not seen any lately. She must be falling behind. It didnt look like you had much trouble completing the challenge today Patti.

LOL!! Cracks me up that Erma!! Very cool printable paper, I'm totally impressed. Especially with the stop watch clip art -- from where I sit, it looks like you glued the real thing to your card!! How creative you are my dear!!

Patti this is fan-freakin-tastic! I absolutely LOVE this!! How true is that sentiment too?! Lucky for the boys in my family, us girls are football fans too. :) Great card my friend! *hugs*
Such a beautiful card! Perfect "man" card!
Oh this is hilarious and couldn't be more true!! TFS
What a cool card! And great sentiment! So true.
I'm not a football fan, but my boys sure are. That game confuses the heck out of me. Give me baseball any day... or basketball during the final minutes.
