you're a great catch!

(don't forget- you only have until noon MDT today to vote!!)


Today is Design Team Thursday at My Thoughts Exactly stamps. These stamps are from the July release- "Under the Sea." Just like with the other set, "Birds and the Bees," these stamps mix and match to make so many different sentiments! I love all of the punny possibilities:

I made a little diecut fish and suspended him in the cut out window with invisible thread. I tied embroidery floss around the bottom, and added the sentiment, "you're a great catch!." My husband said I needed a fishhook (I agreed), so he made me one out of wire while I stamped the sentiment. (We had lots of wire around from my round 1 GI card...)


Jessica is also posting today, so definitely go check out her awesome work, and stop by Alyssa's blog at My Thoughts Exactly for the official DT post!

I love this Jen, super cool! I'm loving the wire work lately, really neat, something tells me if I attempted wire it would turn into a hot mess! I am so glad you are on my design team :D
