Red Sox Fan Meets Yankee Fan

There comes a time when you have to put the rivalry aside and make a card that will certainly brighten up a Yankee Fans day.  I grew up watching and loving the Red Sox because of my Dad.  He was a die hard Red Sox fan.  Now in my house we have two Red Sox Fans and two New York Met Fans. 
This card is going to a 9 year old boy who has had a brain tumor removed just before Christmas.  He is the son of one of my punchkateer friends.  I have had this idea for a while but no time to put it together.  I finally did it this weekend and will be sending this out on Tuesday.

 I had my son look through some of his baseball cards and came up with some Yankee Baseball cards to include in this card.  I wanted a cool way to include them.

So what I did was take some A2 cello bags and layered them together and sewed them into the inside
of the card on top of where I will be writing my greeting.  I showed it to my boys and they thought it was cool.  I am hoping for the same reaction from my recipient.  What do you think?

Thanks for stopping by today.  For those of you with tomorrow off-enjoy your day.  I have to go to work but I have lots to do...I need to be there...lol  See you soon!!!

    Carol, I know who this is going to and that complete family, not just Chris, is going to go wild for this one. You're really going to cheer up this little boy. And, sending him some baseball cards is the 'bestest'
