The PlayDate Cafe Challenge # 124 " Special Times"








What a beautiful day it is here, but it always is here on the West Coast of Florida ( almost time to open the pool) and beautiful 82* all day and still hoping to see rain come this weekend as it is much needed now back to the challenge.

I am Happy to be participating in this weeks challenge, I am trying to be a part as many as I can.
I made my card using the current color challenge at The Play Date Cafe. Love this color scheme and what a Great inspiration photo! Make sure you check out who there special Guest and Sponsor is this week! What a talented and special young man!!

This was so very Perfect as my Hubby is a NY Giants fan and got to attend the BIG Game.
it was a big price, $325.00 for the game but was worth the experience with our Son.
it was a very special father Son Day !

Just wanted to share this ticket since it has all the colors required for this challenge
Raspberry...Harbor...Honey Mustard
I used my card stock by DCWV and in all 3 colors and then I put the my hubby's "SUPER BOWL" Ticket in the center of the card added a white doilie behind the ticket then added two special words " SPECIAL TIMES" nothing like a Father Son day together. With this game being played in Tampa it was just perfect... it was played on January28,2001 at Raymond James stadium, with the NY Giants and Baltimore Ravens.
I glued on the papers and added a couple of flags, I made and glued on a tooth pick then added some blue sheer creation ribbon .
I enjoyed making my own embellishments. this was such a fun card to design.
We are huge football fans you never forget "HOME" (Jersey) .
