Fish Card Gone Scrappy

I know it's not a Mojo Monday card, but I have a confession to make. I've been in Illinois away from my studio since Friday. Thanks to the wonders of technology I was able to create all my posts in advance, but I don't have a psychic link to the Mojo ladies. Therefore, I have no idea what the sketch will be for today. Oh, and one more confession. There won't be a post tomorrow...I didn't get enough made in time!

For today's project I decided to transform one of my cards into a scrapbook page. I'm new to the world of scrapin' so I thought I would start with something I feel comfortable & just expand a card a bit. Besides I can't get enough of these little fish made from the Ornament Punch.

Ornament Fish

I created today's card to celebrate a couple pieces of good news I received over the weekend. The first is from Stampin' Up. There are several items from the Holiday Mini catalog that are still available & will appear in the new catalog this summer. They include one of my favorites, the ornament punch, as well as the Petals a Plenty embossing folder & all of our shimmer paints. I saw a card using the punch to make fish in one of my Stampin' Success magazines & was disappointed that I couldn't make them since it was discontinued. But now that I know the punch is still available, I can show you my version.
I also found out over the weekend that I'm headed off to Curacao in May. We're way overdue for an ocean adventure. So, my fishy friends are a fun way to celebrate that too!
