A Chilly Panther



You can see your breath when you walk outside and you have to wear more than two layers to stay warm. One would think that by living in Wisconsin I would wear the Green and Gold and be absolutely fine with the cold weather and look fabulous in a cheese head. But alas, there are no (absolutely none!) Packer fans in my household. I'm a Carolina Panther Fan and my husband has been a San Fransisco 49er's fan for as long as I've known him.

Welcome to the Mini Sports Blog Hop! Thank you for stopping by from Brandi's blog. Some of my fabulous blogging friends have joined forces today to show some love for our favorite teams. Inspiration comes from so many sources! Even though the Panthers haven't had the best of seasons, they did beat the 49er's so in my book it can be called successful! I've got the Panther black and teal covered, and a touch of the football leather as well with a background created using some vintage seam binder's tape. Oh, and a bit of a wish thrown in there too for good measure!

The next play is Lisa, then Lynnette, Kelly Marie and the fourth quarter finale of Brandi (if you came mid-quarter)! I'll leave you with a couple of my very own Panthers.


Supplies Used: 
Cardstock: (Basic Black) SU, (White) Georgia Pacific, (Teal) Recollections
Ink: (Vintage Photo Distress) Ranger
Embellishments: (Sticker Sentiment) SRM Stickers, (Baker's Twine), (Metal Tag), (Decorative Tape) Pink Paislee, (Seam Tape)
Other: (Labels Four Nestabilities) Spellbinders
