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

Bwahahaha! Now that's whut I'm talkin' bout! This is one of those fish that is just so green with envy that he did not get Elton's glasses! Look at that green and oh brother, so immature that he is making faces! Snort! Nanner, Nanner, Boo, Boo, I got the glasses! Snort!
So glad you were able to join the tea party! We got word that once your fishie showed up all of the other fish got the giggles and they are starting to get rowdy! All 42,000 pounds of them!
You rock girlfriend! Come on over here, I will show you where you can put your stuff and show you were to get some tea!

I'm glad you explained that your darling fishy is pouting; I was worried that one of the other tea partiers mighta flung their slimy fish into your cute fish and gave her that fat lip! You know how those tea parties can get kinda rowdy.
Your card is absolutely cute, cute, CUTE, Marilyn! I love the bright, happy colors, and your daughters will love receiving this heartfelt card from their mom. (I agree that you look far too young to have two kids in college.)

Oh my goodness! How very stinkin' cute is this! I love your image and beautiful colors. How sweet to bring this to da Mudder Mark's tea party, she really needs that 42,000! I think this one will certainly be a hit. Great honor to Jojot- your coloring is wonderful! TSMFS
