    Great sport card! I'm trying to come up with a similar idea for a 16th birthday card using a football theme. Anyone have any ideas? I do have a cricut.

    Nanette: For football themed bday card use a football image & scoreboard. On the scoreboard have the message "Happy 16th Birthday" written on.
