Fish Just keep swimming Card

Created this card with a Fish Theme & ever so appropriate to use the sentiment "Just keep swimming" made popular in the movie "Finding Nemo." I'm looking forward to seeing the movie "Finding Dory."

Used a fish die and embossed it with 2nd pass thru Sizzix. Added Glossy accents to the fish. Used an oval die to make a cut thru for view of the fish on the inside. Added gingham ribbon. Stamped sentiment.

Bought graham crackers, Hershey choc bars & marshmallows to make S'mores. I had coupons that required you to purchase 2 of each item to use the coupon. I gifted the extra of each item to a family on our street and told them Happy 4th of July!

Here's a photo of a S'more I made making it in the oven on broil. Recipes at honeymaid.com had oven 350 but that was not browning or melting the marshmallow so I changed to broil.

    1. The fish pattern paper is from a digi pk of paper that has 13 patterns. I flipped the fish horizontally so the majority of the fish would be swimming from right to left in smae direction as die cut fish. Have a Bee-utiful day & Happy 4th of Jul weekend!
