Hello Friends,
Here are some pictures from our special day!
He signed my son's catchers mitt!
As if that was exciting enough to meet Jarrod...my son met the local sports newscaster.
We are missing baseball right now. Both playing and going to National games. Come on Spring!
Today we have a sketch for you at The Kraft Journal. I kept it pretty simple and followed it pretty closely. A little over a month ago we had the privilege of meeting Miami Marlins Catcher Jarrod Saltalamacchia when they were in town playing our beloved Washington Nationals. Mr. Saltalamacchi actually arranged for our tickets through a friend of ours even though we are HUGE Nats fans. He is a class act. He invited us to come to their dugout and meet him. He knows my husband is in the military and wanted to thank him for his service. What an honor! We love baseball, and there is enough baseball love to go around!!!
I made a card to show him our appreciation, and my husband also gave him a military coin. He was so appreciative and so down to earth and he spent a lot of time with us visiting and encouraging my son to always be positive in the game and to remember it was about having fun. He really took an interest in our family and did not seem put out or rushed to get back to the clubhouse.
It was a day we will always remember!

I started with a base made from Blackboard Stock Paper. I layered my card with patterned paper from DCWV Citrus Stack and bright yellow cardstock to coordinate with the Maimi Marlins focal image. Following the sketch, I added a blue banner down the center. I then wrapped the card with Orange Baker's Twine several times and finished it in a bow. Lastly I added the oval focal image to the center to complete the card.
Here is the sketch
