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

Marilyn, will you just look at this! Yikes, 2 girls in college! Wont they be so pleased to receive a card so near to their hearts. this is just the cutest, sweetest card with those hummungus fish lips. Marilyn, I'm crazy over this one, girl. Perfectly colored; perfectly matched with a bunch of challenges, too. Just the best of the best right here, girl.
