Tapping the Helmet!

The card today is for the HoeDown Challenge by Hambo Stamps.  You can click on the Hoe Down link in the right side bar.  The challenge was football.  Okay......I do have to preface this with the statement that I really don't care to watch football.  If I want a good nap, all I have to do is put on a football game and I can be asleep in 5 minutes.  I think it is the crowd noise!

Anyway...........I rate the teams according to their helmets.  The cooler the helmet, the more I root for the team.  Seahawks, cool helmet.  Dolphins, cool helmet.  Rams, WAY cool helmet.  There are more but NOT Green Bay or the Steelers....they are NOT on my cool helmet list.  So, I wasn't going to root for either team on Sunday.  BUT then I heard that the "G" doesn't really stand for Green Bay.  On a Sports Inside website, the article said that the "G" actually stands for "Greatness!"  So........with that in mind, the Green Bay helmet climbed a few notches in the cool helmet list. 

So, with the challenge being football, I just had to do the card shown.  I did a spotlight technique for the helmet and market tapping for the background.  Hope you enjoy!!

THEN..........I was really busy on Sunday and Monday night as I finished up 28 of the thank you cards for my rhodie society trophy donors.  It looks just like the red rhododendron card I made for my hubby that I posted a couple of days ago.
