Gone Fishin

Happy Tuesday!  Hope yours was better than mine!  Spent most of it being overloaded in work and the rest of it trying to fill in an application form for my own job!  Its so hard when you're used to just getting stuck into your work having to stop and think hmmm what do I actually do!!!!  D-Day for my interview has been set for 15 April, so I'll give you a wee shout before then and you can all send me some positive vibes .... I'll need all the help I can get, its been over 20 years since I had to sit an interview!

I thought I'd have a bash at using up some much un-loved DP ... I bought a stash of this when I first started card making because it was cheap but its lain in the back of my stash almost ever since!  But at least I got to use my High Hopes fisherman stamp which I love!  Coloured with promarkers, pink stickles added to his hat, braces attachment and to the card candy; frosted lace stickles added to the blue card candy and the water; smooch illuminate on braces; clear gloss added to wee fish and the fishing rod (....its been a looooong day, I almost called it a fishing stick LOL!)  Swirly brass doodahs from my stash. 
Before I go, I haven't shared any photos with you for ages, so here's a wee cutie of Ruby in her bed with her teddy George (anyone remember the kids programme Rainbow?) ... wouldn't you know by that face that she'd much rather be sleeping on the living room sofa!!

What a wonderful card and a great masculine that we're always short on having when we need them.

Sounds like work is not brightening your days right now. Well, all that craziness will soon be over and you'll be just fine.

So glad you shared pics of Ruby..she is just the cutest thing ever.

Your card is adorable glad someone else is conquering the paper stash besides me. as for April 15th, it is d-day for us in the US. it is the dreaded "tax day", the day our taxes must be filed so I won't forget have no fear, I will be singing "Good Vibrations" by the Beach Boys sending good vibrations your way.. My taxes are done!!!

Good vibe

I was going to say Ruby's pig is so cute but then I read it was teddy bear. LOL Either way, they are super cute together!!

I love your card, Lynne! You used that layout perfectly and I love those swirly clips!
