Everyone on the Blog Skip is using one of the 3 new Animal Puns stamp sets released by Stampers Best, and they were all designed by OWH's President, Sandy Allnock. Please read my entire post for a special offer from Stampers Best.

Today my card features the Write Soon Minnow set. I kept my card very simple in design so I could showcase the fish.
Now it's time to enjoy the rest of the hop by going to the talented Allison's blog, Allison's Creations, here. I know she has created something fantastic for you. While you're visiting Allison be sure to leave some love.
