Gooooooo Raiders!!!!

Hello and happy Thursday evening to you!  This was intended to be a Thursday morning post, but I've been helping with baby Max today, who didn't sleep for his mama very well last night, and this is the first chance I've had to upload my card and make a post.  I did get in a little card making between his naps, so it's all good!
My card today was made with the Cheereater image from Peachy Keen Stamps.  I followed along with the sketch challenge #313 on SCS  this week for the layout, and I have to tell ya that it was a doozy, and a wonderful challenge.
The image was stamped with Memento ink and colored with my Copic markers.  I've had this basketball textured paper for almost two years tucked away in a drawer just waiting for a fantastic use for it.  I am very aware that this cute little Cheereater image is a football fan, but in our small town, we don't have football.  I know, I know... *GASP*.  Football is big in many of the larger neighboring towns, but our little school is lucky if we can find enough players for a basketball team.  I have three nieces that play basketball, and this card is for my niece Bailey.  I needed a number for the jersey, and my dad was close and knew her jersey number, so a Bailey Cheereater was born!  LOL!!!   This year was Bailey's last year to play Jr. High basketball, and her team did very well, by taking the conference title, and  that's a HUGE deal for a school of our size!!  Goooooooo Raiders!!!!

I hope you've enjoyed a glorious day, and that you're making plans for a Happy New Year celebration!  Happy Stamping!
