That's the way the ball bounces
I made this basketball...or at least what was supposed to be a basketball for the current Cas-ual Fridays Challenge.
This was my fourth attempt at making this card. I got so tired of trying that my hubby stepped in and helped me. He got a basketball from the garage. Set it on my craft desk. Then proceeded to draw the lines for me. Gotta love the man. All I had to do was cut it and put it together...granted I could've done that better but I must say this version is a WHOLE LOT BETTA (love my perfect grammar) than my previous attempts. Practice might not make perfect, but it definitely made better.
What do you think?
'til I craft again or have something to say...

I think it's fabulous! Your hubby is a sweetheart for helping you out - I'd have to have my hubby help me with a basketball, too! Delicious texture and a really fun idea!! Thanks so much for playing with us at CAS-ual Fridays!
What a fab basketball card and it has the most realistic texture to it, love it :) Thanks for playing this week at CAS-ual Fridays!
Aren't husbands the best - they always know just how to help us out when we are in a bind! That texture is so perfect on your card and it really caught my eye in the gallery. So glad you have joined us this week at CAS-ual Fridays.
Can't get over the texture. The ball looks great!
This is absolutely brilliant Alberta.
