My grandfather was an avid fisherman and built a cabin on Jan Lake in Northern Saskatchewan, 50 miles west of Flin Flon, Manitoba. The city of Flin Flon was named after Josiah Flintabbatey Flonatin. Here’s a picture of him shown below.

It took our family about 20 hours to drive from our home to Flin Flon and it was such a welcome sight to see the statue of Flintabbatey Flonatin and know we were almost at our destination! I have so many fond memories of the several weeks I spent at Jan Lake during the summers of my youth. There were Walleye and Northern Pike in Jan Lake. We always hoped to catch the Walleye. My Grandpa did indeed wear a fishing vest like you can see below. There were never fish in his fishing vest, however. 🙂

I love the Gone Fishing Bundle, but would buy it just to get the “Happy Retirement” stamp.

Video and Free Tutorial pdf

Here’s my video with measurements and directions to make this card. Here’s a free pdf to make the same fun fold, but not a tackle box. If you subscribe to my blog here, I give a free tutorial with every newsletter. You can order from my online store and see all the products I used to make this card at the bottom of this post.

Sweet Little Monkeys

Welcome to the Stampin’ Pretty Pals’ Blog Hop!

This month, the theme is CASE the Catalog. CASE means copy and share everything. You can look at a card and change different elements to make it your own. We really hope that you will be inspired by all the amazing creations the Pals are sharing with you! Then, you will find the lineup at the end of my post to help you “hop” along from Pal to Pal.

The Stampin’ Up! catalog is an Idea Book and it was fun trying to decide which card to CASE. I chose the elephant card at the top of page 57 shown below. I changed the colors to Copper Clay, Melon Mambo and Granny Apple Green. Instead of circles, I used the Nested Essentials rounded rectangles. I also used the Little Monkey set instead of Little Dreamers.

Instead of throwing away the Nested Essentials shapes, I used them to make the card below.

My Dad and his siblings had a family reunion last weekend. My Dad is on the far right, his brother, Richard, is eight years younger and his sister, Irene, is twelve years younger. All their kids and grandkids were invited. We had a wonderful lunch and played games. Some of the kids did Paddle Boats on the lake.

From my family it was Steve and I, Ryan and Bree. It’s kind of funny we had our picture taken in front of a Buffalo since Steve grew up in a little town called Buffalo along the Mississippi River.

After the reunion my sister and her family joined us for dinner and a fire pit. We stayed out there talking and laughing for several hours. I’m sorry to my neighbors if we kept you up. The next morning Steve made everyone bacon and eggs. What a fun weekend! 🙂
