Today's TeaPot party deals with Willy Waddum who has a reputation of catching 42,000 great fish. However, as you can see above, his skills have left him, and he needs HELP. Read more of the story here: MMTPT147 ~ BOOP! BOOP! WANNA WADDA WILLY'S CHEW? by Mothermark at Splitcoaststampers
This card is not going to do much to enhance his reputation, especially if he continues to catch fish of this size. I think his face tells it all...
The verse inside (stolen mmm...borrowed from somewhere) will not help:
An angler is a man who spends rainy days sitting around on the muddy banks of rivers doing nothing because his wife won't let him do it at home.
I used sketch #4 (May) for Verve - though most of the Verve cards are much classier than this one. I have some new Rubbernecker stamps and want to use them!
I hope I followed the sketch closely enough. I used the corners of nesties Labels4 to make the photo corners.
Our destination this week is Colton, a 10 year old battling cancer. I will have to send him a different one. more age appropriate.
I finally have managed this cheater thing, and now we will be on the road - won't be playing next week.
We will be heading to DH's fave fishing spot - he has a new toy - his brother gave him an underwater camera so now he can SEE the fish he is not catching LOL!

Bwhahaha! Mr. Etsdas! What a cheater you have become, trying to see the fish you are not catching! Just cuz your wife has mastered Teapot Tuesday Cheatin' doesn't mean you can cheat at the fishin' hole! Snort! Okay, alright already....you can cheat! But just this once and only because that is one heck of a small fish! Snort!
OMG! You are a goofball Dorothy my friend! No wonder we get along so good! Have fun fishin', you couple of cheaters! Your card is just awesome, so fun!

An underwater camera - cool!! I don't do well with snorkelling because I'm too short-sighted to see the fish unless they're up close, even with the extra magnifying effect of the water. I'd love to hear how he gets on with the camera.
Great card, too - I like that paper, hard to believe it's not fabric, and the little twine knots are a great touch.

Thanks for the laugh. Just got back from Greeley and so am late making comments. Glad I didn't miss your image and sentiment. I know several fishermen that would love this card.
