Here is my card for today's Teapot Tuesday Challenge. This week we are headed to Diddem Daddum to help Willy Waddum win the annual fishing tournament. Willy has always been able catch lots of fish and and people come from far and wide to witness his uncanny fishing "abilities"! Unfortunately his luck has run out and he isn't able to catch a thing anymore! This is bad for the Diddem Daddum economy, that's for sure!

Our mission is to bring fishy stuff to the party this week. I brought a replacement fisherman. He is the latest fishing prodigy! The secret to his success?? It's the bait - he uses strawberries, not worms!
In real life, our cards are for Colton, a 10 year old boy who's been diagnosed with osteosarcoma. You can read more about Colton here: Forums at Splitcoaststampers or here: Cards for Colton by loribelle3 at Splitcoaststampers
We are hoping to get lots of cards mailed to Colton at his school to encourage and support him. Colton loves fishing! Hope that our fishing cards brighten his days!

Great card - I really like the layout with this cute image and DP. Strawberries for bait? Where DH fishes they use 2 kernels of white shoepeg corn (the fish are pretty picky)!

Oh my!! Your little fisherman is so cute. Like the strawberry trailing along behind on his hook. Wonderful coloring and great design paper to go with it.

What a FUN card! You make it look like fishing with strawberries is a natural thing! I could bait a hook with strawberries, but I am not touching worms! Colton will LOVE your card!
