I had an uncle who insisted that fishing was a sport, but my dad always said a day spent fishing was like taking a vacation. Since he often took me fishing with him, and it always felt like special father-daughter time when he did, I guess I don't really care which it is -- I just love going fishing. It brings me such sweet and wonderful memories of him. :-D
Here's a card I know he'd love, including the lovable turtle character. That came from QKR Stampede.
The image is colored with ProMarkers, then die cut with a die from Spellbinders. I inked the edges, typed up the sentiment, and found the three, heart-shaped, buttons in my stash. I strung them together with baker's twine and adhered them to the dp on the front of the card. The dp came from Colorbok.
