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.

I hope you swim "like a fish" not "with the fish" ! : ) Love your creative diving board and the swirling water EF....and of, course, the little fish. GREAT card, Polly...as ever!

OMGosh I love this, great scene and so cool with the embossing. I would say you miss swimming and feeling carefree like when you were a child swimming.
