We started with a little lazy Sunday, watching the French Open...then I went for the Sunday mountain ride. I'm creeping closer to my personal best, but not quite there! Lunch and a little more tennis viewing, before I have to go check out the garden and clean up a few things.
I decided to enter another challenge: Freshly Made Sketches #188. It looks like this challenge is right up my alley with clean and simple designs. Here is the challenge for this week.
I had many ideas, and considered making something with flowers, which would be very elegant---however in the end, I decided to go the cute route. It's been awhile since I used my fish stamps from Simon Says Stamps, so here's my take on the challenge (and since I decided to use Simon Says Stamps, I'm entering in the Simon Says Wednesday Challenge too!)
Not only do I love these fish, but I've been in the groove of making shaker cards! So what an opportunity to combine both--and let's face it, a shaker card makes everyone smile.
I've also been excited about making my own shaker elements so I took the opportunity to do so with this card as well--you can kinda see them in the picture :)
