Welcome!  You're in luck today!  I am participating in a blog hop with my fellow designers from SSInkspirations!

If a link doesn't work or you get off track, you will find the full blog hop lineup below.

Who doesn't love a good #TBT post!? 
This week as we prepare for Stampin' Up!'s 26th Annual Convention in SLC, Utah, we're reminded that stamping has come a LONG way in those years!
Techniques have come and gone, styles have changed, and technology has made stamping a completely different industry.
What has NOT changed, is how timeless some stamp sets really are.
Here is an example!


This card was made using Fishin' from 1996!!  And @SoSocial from 2014/2015 
I love the textures and the way this set reminds me of days spent fishing with my husband.  We are celebrating our 10th Anniversary next month,  I told him he was my inspiration for the card and I just KNEW he remembered exactly what I meant by it.  
On our honeymoon we rented a boat and spent a whole day fishing.  Guess who caught the biggest fish?!?!!  Ha ha...it WASN'T him.  muah hahaha  :)

  (speaking of the hubs, he kindly pointed out that I colored this Bass to look like a Perch...oh well, I still like him)

  Our new Blendabilities make bringing water and grass to life SO simple!!  I am hooked!  (total pun intended!)


#whatagreatmoment  I completely agree :)

  2. Love it! Wish I had that set, it's from before I started up with SU! Only a man would notice the coloring of the fish - LOL!

  4. LMBO!!! I love this card! It would still be a great stamp set for today. You can never have to many fish/masculine stamp sets. Oh, and I love that you got the bigger fish. If your husband is like mine, he's probably saying, "I let her catch the biggest one!"
