Are they not the cutest fish? These are from Stampin Up (Fishy Friends set), and they are the stamp set that I won on Ebay. I wanted to do something fun and whimsical to cheer her up and I thought these cuties would do the trick. I then got the idea to name them Moe & Joe. . .LOL. And here is what the inside said:
I found this cute "bubbles" stamp at Michael's on clearance for $5 and knew it would be perfect to use with these fish stamps. So I just kept stamping the bubbles until the inside card was covered.
I colored these little guys with markers, cut them out, and attached them with foam sticky squares. The background was done using my Cuttlebug embossing folder and then going over it with a turquoise ink pad to give it definition. I then randomly put glitter on some of the circles (can't see it very well in the photo) and I put a little glitter on their backs. The sentiment was computer generated. I just got an email from her this evening telling me how much it made her laugh. Hopefully it helped!
So, there you have it! We have so much power to help one another. One simple card can bring so much to someone. We do good work, don't we? Thanks again for visiting! I'll be seeing all of you on your blogs! Don't forget to see the Picture of the Week below! I took this one over the weekend. It's pose was so majestic! Enjoy!
Best,
Curt O'Brien

Oh my goodness! This is darling! Can I order up a Moe and Joe!?!? So sweet! I also love your dragonfly shot. OH MY! Do you just sit in a field for hours looking for the perfect shot? Amazing!
Great job at sending an awesome rak!
How do you go about sending random raks? you have to ask them for their address right? lol I dunno.
