Anne Marie at The Paper Players # 163 asked participants to create a kid-themed card this week. I have been itching to use the adorable single SU wooden stamp Fishin’ Around. It is just tooooo cute! I have also had some treat cups for about a year crying out to be used. I have seen so many neat ways to incorporate the treat cups with the stamp- even the Annual Catalog has an idea of putting water in a sealed treat cup to mimic the fish bowl filled with water. I am going to try that someday but I had these fun little beads and thought they looked like treasure so I put them in the treat cup to be jewels coming out of the chest in the stamped image. I decided to use a tag with a bow and the bold focal point of the treat cup after seeing Marion Vagg’s card at the MUSE Card Club # 35 this week. I must say the hubby was quite taken by the concept and shook and shook the card like a ‘lil kid!
I took a bunch of photos but I can’t figure out how to take the picture to show that the button on the sentiment is indeed centered perfectly but looks like it is not. Hmmm….
I used Stickles for the gold in the chest and the bubbles in the fishbowl. The sentiment was created in SU My Digital Studio.

Oh my goodness Cindy this is so fabulous! I keep checking out your fish bowl–brilliant. The button looks perfectly centered to me!
Thank you, Tracey. I just love that stamp! I can’t wait to do more with it!

Linda,
You are so sweet;) Thanks so much- you make me smile.
Great kid card – those treat cups make the best interactive cards – love the idea of the ‘treasure’. I know I would be too nervous to put water in there! Thanks for joining us at Muse this week, Cindy!
Thank you, Ardyth. I know I think it is a bit scary to fill with water, too!

Thank you, Jaydee. the colors just seemed to fall together probably with a lead from those goldfish!
Oh my goodness….this is just adorable! I love the MDS sentiment, but the fishbowl on the Chalk Talk diecut is the BEST! So cute & clever, love it! Thanks for playing with the challenge this week!
