Fishing is one of those things I associate with summer and with my father. When I was a child, I was the one who loved to get up early, before sunrise, and drive with my dad down to the beach and fish off the pier. During the summers, we could go fishing not only on the weekends but even during the week because there was no school. My dad had his own business and could often get away during the week, so summer fishing was special father-daughter time.
This week at QKR Stampede, "Fishing" is the theme for our newest challenge. I used Digi 16814 "Fishing Boy" for the image and half of Digi 16808 "Hooked on You" as the sentiment. I wish I could find cute girl fishing images but most of them are boy images. That's OK. This is a favorite stamp anyway because it so reminds me of days fishing with my dad. :-D
I colored the image with ProMarkers, then used a die from Spellbinders to cut it. I printed out the sentiment and hand cut it so that I could use only the "I'm Hooked" part of it. It actually says, "I'm Hooked on You." Wanting to keep the design simple, I used only ribbon and a double bow for embellishment.

Come play with us this week. Remember, you don't have to use a QKR stamp to play so you can dig out any of your stamps or digis that relate to "Fishing" and play along. However, if you do use a QKR image (and there are so many really cute ones!) you'll be entered into a separate drawing for QKR users only, significantly increasing your odds of winning. See you then. Happy Stamping. NanaConnie

Precious - and makes me want to go fishing now. I love to fish! This is so cute Connie and that's wonderful that it brings back those memories of you and your dad. I love the Spellbinders die you framed it with too.

So cute, Connie! Love your bright colors! We never were taken fishing as children but my husband taught me! xo
Ha! What a cutie. Love the sentiment. He definitely looks twitter-pated.

(Twitter-pated is what Thumper said (to Bambi) had happened to the animals when they fell in love)
