First, I AM ON TIME!!! I was so happy that Colton likes fishing. I love fishing and it is a lot easier to relate to something I like to do too. Dressing up in fancy dresses or dancing is so out of my area that I struggle.
Started to struggle when Cindy said add a strawberry! I had a terrible time when she said cherries one teapot day. I am now looking for a set of stamps with fruit so I am ready whenever Cindy decides to add fruit. So with the help from my sis, mutnik, I googled clip art and found a strawberry and cut out the inside to make my scene. Sis is just tooooo clever to be really part of my family. I think there was a mix up at the hospital...yeah!!
I am hoping this sends smiles Colton's way. So young to be going through so much.
Thanks Cindy for a GREAT story and for an awesome destination for our cards.
Hugs to all of my sisters!!

I love your scene. And the strawberry cutout is adorable, but your scene is really cute. Your clouds are fun and the fishing chicken is riding high on the 466 Colton... you clever girl!

This is wonderful and so creative. Yes for sure that Cathy is artistic and darn amusing too. It must be fun to have crafting in common when you get together. My sisters aren't into it and although my daughter is she lives very far away and I only see her twice a year.

Connie, this is darling!! I love your strawberry frame!!
P.s. I didn't see it in the MMTPT gallery and now I know why, you put the wrong number in your keywords.

I have to agree with Cindy. Sis may have googled it for you, or suggested you do this, but YOU made the card and what a "berry" wonderful card it turned out to be! I LOVE your giant strawberry and personalized little motor boat!

, a real touch of Mutnik whimsy on this card, CJ - or maybe it's the first time I've noticed you using WhipperSnapper. I love the way you used the negative of a strawberry to frame the sweet fishing scene. This is a great card.
