Boy Thank You Cards

My newly minted 8-year-old son worked on writing thank you notes for his birthday presents today. Once he got started, I realized I didn't have quite as many "boy" thank you notes ready as I had thought!! So I threw together a few more for him to use. He has started to show an interest in the Boston Celtics, so I thought he'd like a some basketball-themed thank you cards and made a couple of each of these. I drew the lines on the basketball by hand using a ruler and some oval cutting templates. This 4.25" x 4.25" card was based on this week's Waltzingmouse Sketch Challenge.
I went totally CAS for this next card. The basketball image is a retired stamp from The Angel Company. I made these with the Moxie Fab World Card Creations: Favorite Occasions week Thank You challenge in mind and used this week's Get Sketchy sketch 67.
I'm happy to report that my DS had smooth sailing for his thank you note writing and everything is ready to be sent out tomorrow!! It's always more fun to write thank you notes when you have fun cards to write them on. I think my son would agree!

Thanks for dropping by for today's little slice of bliss!
