Thanks Coach!!

Today is the AFL AGM and Presentation Day. I volunteered to make the thank you card for my son's coach this year. The only real challenge was to make a masculine card from the team colours - Purple and White!!! The team's name is the North Ryde Dockers and the white jersey is emblazened with a purple anchor down the middle of it.

Now, an anchor, the size I needed it to be, is a hard thing to find and even harder in PURPLE!!! My bestie recently aquired a Circut "Cricket" and she boasted that nothing is impossible for this thing to cut. With this in mind, I gave her the dimensions of the anchor I required and the colour it had to be. She searched her files and VOILA!!!! I had the start of a card. A star here and a number there....and you have it.....a (hopefully) masculine looking purple and white card!!! I apologise for the not so great photography.

It was also the first time I had attempted a banner for the sentiment, and I think I need a tad more practice, but was happy with the way it turned out. It sat up a little off the card. The sentiment is from the "Just Jawing" set. Since the group of boys the card is from are 9-10yrs old, I thought it was appropriate. The numbers on the card represent the numbers worn by each of the team. They keep the number for the duration of their time at the club, which I think is lovely.

Thanks for stopping by. Would appreciate hearing your thoughts on the card.
