Mad Roots 4 Our Official Baller

The current Pink Ninjas prompt is "roots".  

It's amazing just how many different ways there are to interpret that word.  Just take a look at how many different ideas came from the Ninja DT alone! 

We are so proud of our little guy playing basketball.  He may not yet be the best player but he enjoys himself and he's getting better every day.  (Literally...he's doing basketball camp every weekday this month!) 

These pics show him dribbling and shooting (a Swish! no less!!) in one of his games!  I loved how the two pics lined up so well.  The shooting one is popped up on foam a bit.

So, of course, I had to go with "rooting" for my little baller!

This Basic Grey paper was perfect in and of itself but I thought the large main area just cried out for some sort of stitching so I stitched a basketball on it (like it's being overlapped with the titles).  It's kind of hard to make out with the pics laid on top so here's what it looked like:

And here's the back so you can see it's really stitched (and how messy my machine stitches, lol).

I finished it off with some wooden star beads since he's our little star (sappy, lol!).

So, here's your challenge...show us your interpretation of "roots".  C'mon!  I dare ya!
