Football Jersey


Here's a football jersey made as a birthday card but I thought it might also be good for father's day. You can easily change the colors to your guy's favorite team colors. The template for the shirt can be found here. I made a "V Neck" using a square punch instead of a round neckline and didn't put any curves in the waist. I used my Cricut to cut the number (it was for an 8th birthday). I used my square punch to cut the trim around the neckline and just hand cut the stripes on the sleeves.

Enjoy!

Has it really been so long?


Where have I been? Well I have been busy fulfilling a long time dream.....to run a 5K (that's 3.1 miles). Yes, as you can see from the pic, I DID IT! Yippee! I started training in January and ran the race in May. Along the way, I lost 12 pounds too! If you are interested in trying this, check out the Couch Potato to 5K Plan I followed to get me started (there is an iPhone app also). I'll be back tomorrow with a card for you.
