Go Fish....


Hello!!!
I wanted to pop in to share a card with you that I made for EBTKS (Everything But The Kitchen Sink) challenge. I just found this website and absolutely love it! The girls that thought up these challenges are truly unique. Every couple of weeks a challenge is presented that involves making a card with a certain household item. From toothpicks to toilet paper. You name it and the sky's the limit.

This weeks household item is "Wrapping Paper". I know Christmas has just passed and I have many wrapping paper scraps laying around, but I am done with the Christmas theme. Time to move on to something new! I bought this cute wrapping paper a year ago just because it was so adorable. I had no idea what I would ever use it for until now! Do you like the fishy????
I pretty much let the paper speak for itself and added a few embellishments and my favorite polka dot ribbon. What do you think?

Thanks for taking a peek!
