Fishing...A reel hobby

This is a pic of my dh after a fishing tournament. Journaling reads: Weighing in within 5lbs and 3 1/2 lb. bass. The winner of the Lake Ouachita tournament is ...Billy Gilbert. Good Job!

I chalked the entire background on a white piece of cardstock to match the photo. I used a dry embossing template to stencil the trees. I also used a paper glaze on the waves to give it a shiny look. The bubbles are buttons. I stitched buttons on the corner of the photos.
That is all my dh would let me do. He said he didnt want me to "girly up" his page. LOL

It looks much better IRL! Thanks for looking!
