Guess who? If you guess Kay, you guessed right! I’m writing a blog post! AND have a giveaway! This is so exciting 
Still having a good week. I think it’s all those crazy theater people that I’m spending four hours a day with, or maybe the awesome people I get to see after… but it’s just another good week from a GREAT summer. Another bonus of the day is that I’m writing this from the back porch, where it’s peaceful and serene like the… um…
Okay! I was digressing. This card has an adorable fish on it. Love THOSE fish. They’re just so cute…
Supplies: Hero Arts fish stamp; Neenah paper; Copics; Hero Arts stripe background; Soft Pool Ink; Tim Holtz die cut.
If you don’t think this is one of the cutest card ever, please raise your hand.
I see no hands raised… excellent. This is another simple card to make. I started by cutting the back off of the light blue card, and stamping the stripes stamp in the soft pool ink onto it. Then, I die-cut the paper and stamped three of the-most-adorable-fish-ever stamp. I carefully colored these with Copic markers. (Except for the last one – I kind of rushed him.) Then I cut a piece of paper thin enough to slip behind the die-cut paper. It is folded in half, with the back attached to the card and the die cut to the front, allowing it to flip open to reveal the world's-smallest-place-to-write-a-message. But it sure is fun! My mum even said she is going to use the idea in a class. (I will now pat myself on my back.)
Cute and simple. Kind of like me. 
So, Mum noticed I love Tim Holtz's dies as much as she does and said I could give one away. (She said the die was one the fab folks at Simon Says Stamps gave her. Thanks to them… and Mum!) So just leave a comment here by Friday night and I will personally pick a random winner of this fun die…
And! Kay’s Daily Words Of Wisdom: “Normal” is a setting on a dryer.
Something smells good.
Until tomorrow,
Kay

Your card is precious and oh so adorable. Love how you used the Tim Holtz die. His dies are some of my favorites too! I don’t have the giveaway die and would love to win it!

The card is too cute Kay!! So happy you’ve been filling in this week, while your Mum is away. Still can’t believe you’re off and teaching classes.
Love the card! Great job too!
Your card is cute, cute, cute. It reminds me of growing up on a lake and we used to fish in the summer (along with swimming, boating and other water sports). You are doing a great job taking over your Mum’s blog while she is gone. I look forward to reading your posts every day. Keep up the good work.
