Now on to my card...  I bet you are all wondering how did I get to play along with this hop?  Yes, although I am no longer on this fabulous team, I got the wonderful opportunity to participate in this awesome blog hop.  Without further adieu, I have for you... BASEBALL LUKA! 

After Irina and Eric created him, I knew he was the first one that I wanted to use from the collection.  Here is what I chose to do with him:

It's baseball season and so many of my friends have sons playing t-ball or little league.  My friend Lisa suggested the colors and I went with them.  This ball player is ready for anything.  He's got his banners flying, the bases are set, the field is chalked and muddy in places and ready for play.  Who's game?

Now since I'm the last on the list it's time to head back to the La-La Land Crafts Blog and leave a message.  Click HERE to get there.

We hope you enjoyed the hop and enjoyed all the wonderful and fun creations by the very talented Design Team!  After you visit the La-La Land Blog be sure to head on over to the Online store to purchase the images.  You don't want to be left out!!

Mahalo for stopping by.  Take care and see you soon!!
Hugs,
Lilo
