Father's Day is coming up..  All dad's need a card of their favorite hobby - mine hubby loves to fish. The grandkids just think he is the coolest to go fishing with.   Our 7yr old thinks he always catches the biggest fish - no matter the size!!

Today, using the Imagine cartridge The Good Old Days, I have created using the fisherman at 4in on the Imagine using the Cricut Craft Room.  Using ctmh colored pencils has colored in his face and hands to represent dad...

Stampin Up! stamp sets: Happy fathers Day is from a set from 1998 and the inside sentiment from a 2005 stamp set featuring kids dressed like adults with a mothers day stamp too..

random scrap paper to enhance the colors of card and then my favorite...  black twine from Ctmh used as the fishing line.

I hope you like my card and see that you can manipulate cards to your needs...

inside sentiment
