Slam Dunk - 2/16/2014





My father-in-law graduated from UVA and loves to watch them play basketball.  My hubby says that UVA is doing great in basketball this year.  We decided it would be a great idea if I made a basketball card with UVA colors for his upcoming birthday!  The stamp set is digi from Hambo Hoedown.
