TIO"T" Day #75 - Crazy Quilts

We have been challenge for Try It Out "T"day to create something quilted, stitching, etc. We were told it could be real or faux. Me- faux all the way baby :)

I decided to use Gone Fishing from the Elisabeth Bell Sampler Edition #5 exclusively for SCACD. This image reminds me of fishing with my Dad. As the mom of two sons it should make me think of them. However, since neither of them is big on fishing, it takes me another direction and that is actually a pretty good thing!


As a finishing touch, I pulled out one of the new Maya Road mini chipboard buttons. I colored it by rubbing on the Momento Rich Cocoa Ink. It soaked up the ink and matched the matting perfectly! So simple and such a great embellishment.

Here is a picture of my Dad with some big fish HE caught :) Love and miss you Dad!
