Today my son played in his very first chess tournament. It was a big one - all of the clubs in the metro-Atlanta area were there, over 1000 kids. I decided to make a little card to tuck into his backpack as a surprise on his special day.
Since it was late Friday night when I decided to make this card, I was happy to find that Hambo had the perfect digi image to use - Chess Set. I love that you can buy the Hambo digis and have them immediately to use! I added my own message (a little chess humor, hee hee!) before I printed it out, then I colored with Prismas. I used polka dots because, happily, I'm back to playing along with Linda's Catered Crop Recipe Swap! Yay! And Linda chose polka dots for our challenge this time around.
Here's my boy posing at the tournament. When he found his card in his backpack, he gave me a big hug. Made me so happy!
Now before I go - it's about time I announce a winner from my 1000th post! Congratulations to... comment #19, Heidi H! Please send me an email with your contact info to stampinlibby at gmail dot com and I'll get your goodies out to you!
