It's the first Saturday of September, and the first day of Fall (in my book anyway) and it's the first Saturday of College Football Season!! Woooohooooooo! When you read this, we are probably already on the road headed to Berkeley for the first game in our newly renovated stadium! SO excited to see the old gal and see what they did to make her beautiful and modern! Our stadium was built in the 1920's as a memorial to WWI veterans and needed a face lift and seismic retrofitting. Interestingly enough, the stadium sits right on top of an earthquake fault. So, they've been working on updating it for over a year. Okay, I'm sure you've heard enough about that for now!
In honor of the football game and my team, I made a funny card using lots of my favorite Paper Smooches stamps. I used little bits and pieces from five different stamp sets to make a Go Bears scene! I hope you like it!
Our mascot, of course, is a Bear….and our colors are Blue and Gold….
Here are the five stamp sets I used…can you find all the different pieces I picked out? This was so much fun to pull together. I love Kim's stamps and style, and how everything can work together. I just bought the Swanky Snowman set too! EEP!
I used my Copics and some basic circle Nesties. I liked it really graphic and fresh
Here's a cool photo taken from the hill above the stadium looking out over the Golden Gate Bridge and San Francisco. It's really such a breathtaking location. I've been going to games here for, ahem, 30 years now!
Here are some of my favorite pictures with Oski the Mascot. After DH and Buddy, he's my #3 man!
This is my crazy manicure I did for this weekend:
Have a wonderful, long, fun Labor Day Weekend everyone! GO BEARS!!!!

Enjoy your Labor Day weekend and Bear’s game! 🙂
This is so fun Wanda. My dh and I went to an engineering college (back in the day) that did not have a football team (gasp) but our youngest son is mow a freshman at Clemson so we are now college football fans. We are loving it. I gotta get my hands on some tiger stamps so I can make fan cards too.
Hope you have a fabulous time today – from a fellow Cal fan! Wish I were going too! Can’t wait to see the wonderful new renovations.
Go Bears!
Darling design. I’m picturing the banner spelling “fun” for a kids’ card.
Great post, Wanda!! We are heading to SF to watch the Giants this coming weekend for 2 games (can’t wait!!) wish I had time to head to Berkeley and visit our fav lss!
Your card is so stinkin’ fun! You need to send it to the coach 😉
Love the nails! Sorry to hear about the loss today though… hopefully next week they’ll bounce back and get a win! Go Bears!
Wanda, you rocked this super sweet card (I love PS stamps!)! But I gotta be honest and say that your nails STOLE the show! How AWESOME are they?!?!! Love the bling…soooo cool!
You are tooooo cute! Look at all those fun photos and LOOK at those nails! 🙂 So sorry your Bears lost their first game. Disappointing, but I know you had a ton of fun anyway! Your card is just genius! Genius!
