FWF #30

Hello, Unity peeps! It's Friday and time for another hop with Friends with Flair! Our summer is flying by, since it's been filled with so many of the girls' softball games. Marika is relaxing (she has officially retired from softball and will now focus on soccer) but this week, it's Mika's turn as her team competes at the USSSA World Series. We've driven out to the ballpark three times this week (48 miles away, one-way) - which doesn't include driving an hour (each way) to the Opening Day Ceremonies. Whew! Tomorrow, we head back for more bracket play.

The point is - I've been busy driving around and watching softball games - I simply have NOT had enough time to craft! Not at all! I'm feeling a bit cranky about that! But I did manage to eke out this card... I felt like doing something simple but cute...

The stamps are all from Unity - PUN in the Ocean and SheArt Doodles by Christy Tomlinson (LOVE this set for borders!!!). I added black dots to add more interest to the border, slapped a googly eye on the whale, added a blingy waterspot and voila! A whale card with character!

So I can't talk about softball without posting some pictures, because I am having fun learning how to use the camera.

Mika doesn't get to play second very often, but I think she's pretty good at it. This is her "ready" position.

I love it when I get lucky with the action shots! She's been batting left-handed for about a year now - it looks totally natural at this point! As a batter, she loves being able bunt, slap, or pull the ball - it keeps the other team on their toes!

 

DaddyDude enjoyed being an assistant coach with Marika's All Star team, so he's going to try and assist Mika's team this coming year. Yeah, this is serious travel ball now, but I love the brief moments when you are forced to remember - she is still just a child. :)  

Thanks for visiting my blog and hope you all can get a little crafty this weekend! I know I need to! :)
