Something Fishy Going On! @ Little Red Wagon

 This week at

it's Doni's turn to choose the challenge and she's saying, "Something Fishy Going On!" which means that she would like to see fish on your projects.  Glub, glub!

This is what I did.....

When I first started this card, I had planned it just like it is.  But, I had printed the digi and the one fish to paper piece and then those elements lay on my craft desk for quite some time.  When I saw it there, unfinished, I got to thinking that maybe I should paper piece all the fish.  Figured it would look very colourful and I'd find it relaxing to just turn off my brain for awhile, to fussy cut all the fish and fish eyes.  Well, let's just say, that when I finished it last night, or should I say, early this morning.....I didn't figure I'd find anything relaxing about fussy cut fish at 12:36am.  Still, I think I'll maybe do the whole school paper pieced in the future.  I think it would look good enough to warrant all the cutting.  (:

Digi is an oooooooooooooooooooooooooold one from TAWS (The Alley Way Stamps).  Let's talk about the bling for a moment.  It was one of the first packages of bling I've ever purchased (so talking 12+ years now), and I've never seen any since like it.  The package calls them Bubbles & Bling Stickers and I've always loved them.....so much so that I panicked when I went looking for them for this card and didn't find them right away.  The digi has circles drawn for bubbles so placement was easy-peasy.  There may be a bubble on there that isn't in a circle....it fell when I was transferring it, and refused all attempts to be moved, even though the rest of the bubbles are not that sticky.  I know it's hard to tell in the photo, but they really do look like bubbles.  And, I'm happy to say, there's still quite a few left, so I can continue to hoard them.

Speaking of not being able to find things....that'll segue into a craft room update.  After yet another trip to Ikea last Friday (hopefully the last for awhile!!) I was able to get the final pieces I needed.   So, it's just a matter of getting it all together and getting everything put away.  I've got a lot of supplies already squared away....I have a desk with lots of drawers, so I decided to put my shape dies in a drawer for easy access.  Buuuuuuuut, when you don't remember you moved them to a drawer rather than in the basket where all the other dies are, you can spend a good 10 minutes thinking you're going crazy because you can't find them.  So, that was fun.  (:

So, why not give our challenge a go this week and join us?  And, if you'd like more inspiration, be sure to check out what the Girlfriends have made.
