This was one of my first attempts at making collages last year. I submitted it to Stampington and it was featured in their Somerset Memories June/July 2007 issue. I just received my copy yesterday.

The collage was made on Bazzill cardstock. Pattern papers, various ephemera, buttons, old vintage fishing photos, brads, lettering tiles and stickers were added. Tim Holtz vintage photo ink, Utee, and string were also added. The rubber stamp is a fishing lure stamped in black ink.

Fishing has always been a big thing in my family – my dad was an avid fisherman and spent many hours with his grandchildren fishing.
