I have had two of these fish images from the Digi Shack on my desk for several days awaiting coloring. My two daughters are off to college as of this past week. When they were little and unhappy, the pout-y face would appear. As they got older we made a joke of it. So I think they will get a little chuckle from this card. {the second is a duplicate}
As it turns out, I was able to incorporate several challenges. First the Featured Stamper, jojot. I love everything she makes and when I saw this card, I knew I could get to work coloring my fish images. MMTPT60 Wow Fish jhg 8_18 by jojot at Splitcoaststampers
I kept Joanne's design, stuck with a fish image, and the three brads. I changed the colors, skipped the paper piercing, and changed the sentiment.
It also qualifies for Mothermark's teapot challenge #60. {see post #50 for this week's challenge} I wanted to play this week, so this works out perfectly! Forums at Splitcoaststampers

Girl, you rocked it up! This is a fabulous CASE of our honored featured stamper and perfect for the tea party!
So what's this? You are bringing only one fantabulously adorable fish to the party? Did you not hear that we had a quota of 42,000 lbs of fish? Or the better question, did you hear that we have already made quota?
You must've, 'cause it's all party time here now!
Shhhh ... don't tell Peggy that I'm warning you against her fish tea! I love me some Peggy ... but her tea this week was mighty fishy!
Instead, I'm gonna' show you a way cool cove within a cove ... if you like silly sealife, you're gonna' love it! C'mon, follow me .. I took a hike yesterday, got lost, but found this little Shangrilah totally by accident!

your fish gave me the biggest of grins....and it is still plastered on my face.....I just LOVE those pouty lips and your accompanying story.......thanks so very much for the kind works and for taking time to play on my special day.....
and....the Muddermark is going to be mighty happy to see another fish swimming her way...not sure how close to the 42,000 we have gotten, but I sure did enjoy my stay at the cove
