This is my card for the featured stamper challenge FS133. I have been so excited lately that many of my favorite stampers have been selected and after this last week, I was really hoping it would be Joanne. Her teapot tuesday card with the crazy fish and her cupcake card were so cute that I had already told myself to do some cases of these cards (I had even favorited them). Joanne's cards always have the best layouts, some element of fun, and three brads or something like that on them. I know there is a story with those three brads - maybe I will discover it if I keep watching her work.
I copied Mothermark (who is a wonderful host by the way) and selected Joanne's Teapot Tuesday fish card to case:
I changed the card size (this one fits a legal sized envelope), the image, and the DP but kept the general layout, fun feel, and the three brad concept.
I will probably case a few more this week because I seriously love her gallery!

OMG...that image is absolutely the BESTEST!!!! I love it.......it gave me the biggest grin.......
I'll share a secret with you......about the brads.........MY NAME IS JOANNE AND I AM A BRAD-AHOLIC....lol......however, maybe I'll have to make up a better story than that, eh???? Maybe they stand for my three nephews....or my three godchildren......or the three bangles I always wear......but somehow, I think I am just a brad-aholic!!!!
Thanks so much for playing along. I am truly in love with this image and may just have to buy it....onto the wish list it goes.

Nancy~ what a fun and lively card! I love the shape and your wonderful shading around the main image. Your choice of DP really shows off that fun bird, and the black framing makes it jump off the page. Great case! LYMI
