I've always loved to swim and as my mother would say ,"You swim like a fish!". Well I haven't done as much swimming in recent years but....that hasn't kept me out of the pool. You see I have recurring dreams in which I'm swimming! It's true...how would you interpret that?! I suppose it means I miss getting in the water...anyway, that was my inspiration for this sketch. Creative factoid: I fashioned the diving board out of a piece of the Grand Madison window die.

What an awesome card! This is so very unique and I love all the details including the fish at the bottom of the pool. What a great idea to use the window die to make your diving board. Super card.

I tried to analyze it but I couldn't. However, after looking at it for a time I decided your card is very interesting and I like it a lot. I am not sure why!

This makes me laugh, Polly! You must have been in a silly mood when you made this card! Since those waves are ginormous, it looks more like she's diving into the ocean; well it must be since those fish are talking about her! You have quite an imagination, in a good way. Love all your details on this one~

This is awesome. When I saw it I thought about the Olympic Swimmers and how the dream of winning the "Gold". I just love your waves and the diving board and the little fish as embellishments are pure genius!
