Stampin' With Michelle Pepper

This is another one inspired and CASEd from Chupa. I love this technique that Chupa shared so much at Stamp Nation that I have now made a series of these! This one fits perfectly in this week's CASology challenge: You should be able to click on the cue card image above to take you to the CASology website and you will see how others have been inspired by this challenge.

I think participating in challenges might just be the thing to stretch me, and, to help me spend less time on the computer browsing to more time actually creating the cards I enjoy making and giving. So I spent some time one evening looking at many challenge blogs and websites, and have marked a few that I'd like to participate in on a regular basis. Today, I get to share with you my first card challenge. It feels good to start on this journey. Today's card is for this week's CASology challenge, with the cue word "Fish".
