Soccer's *World Cup 2014!*

Hi friends!  Yay for Friday!
 
I have a super simple but festive card to share.
I've been trying to get to this card all week :)
I saw this fun sketch pop up on SCS and my eyes
immediately went towards a flag ♥
 
That could be because I have FIFA World Cup on my brain!
 
We are uber fans!
We eagerly await the return of our teams every 4 years. 
 It's an excruciatingly long wait but luckily,
we have the European Cup in just 2 years ♥
 
Let me just say -  I'm not a sports girl!
I don't follow baseball, I'm not much of a football girl,
and I absolutely do not follow basketball ;)
But for dh (born and raised in Europe)
 and me (grew up there),
Soccer is a BIG DEAL.
In fact, it's HUGE!
 
As you can see from my Riley festive flag card,
I'm *Team Germany*!
I'm Southern by birth,
but a transplant by heart ♥
 

 
For my card, I added each row of cardstock in the coordinating color.
On the inside, I cut them too short to flow horizontally -
vertically, though, it became Belgium, LOL!
Whoops!
 
 
I have my Jersey!
My flag!
My pom-poms!
I'm ready!
 
Yes, I will be a nervous wreck on Sunday.
But I'm sure I won't be the only one at church saying an extra prayer :)
 
Let's hear it for the *Goals!!*
 
Big hugs, Bigger Blessings!

  3. Hi Kelly - that is one awesome card - it really made me smile. The game is Monday morning our time, so no hassles about church.... We don't normally follow soccer - DH is a big Rugby fan, as are the majority of kiwi's.

  11. Now how did I know you would be making a Team Germany card?! :)

    Your card looks terrific and I had to laugh at the Belgian flag-wouldn't have even caught it if you hadn't pointed it out!
