The current one is called <a href=\"https:\/\/www.zazzle.com\/megamomentscontest\">Moments<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I recently took my car in for inspection and while reading magazines waiting, there was an article about fishing [it&#8217;s a mechanic&#8217;s shop, not a wide selection of magazines] with pictures of fishing lures. They&#8217;re awesome. I used to look through my dad&#8217;s tacklebox at all the cool lures. With Father&#8217;s Day coming up, I thought a party themed with fishing lures would be great. Then I thought it must have been done a thousand times before, so I looked up &#8216;fishing party&#8217; and the results were horrible! Fake, childish, fish decor. All of it. So I set my plan in motion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\"><strong>I got a bunch of fishing lure images and manipulated and arranged them to make a pattern. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"text-align:center;line-height:150%\">\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.zazzle.com\/z\/0c8erky4?rf=238385539541750530\" rel=\"nofollow\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/rlv.zcache.com\/fishing_lure_pattern_throw_pillow-r540317d8abec4ccb96f2c43e4ccc5a79_4gu9o_8byvr_1024.jpg?max_dim=325\" alt=\"Fishing Lure Pattern\" style=\"border:0;\" \/><\/a>\n<br\/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.zazzle.com\/z\/0c8erky4?rf=238385539541750530\" rel=\"nofollow\">Fishing Lure Pattern<\/a>\n<br\/>by <a href=\"https:\/\/www.zazzle.com\/store\/misfitsenterprise?rf=238385539541750530\" rel=\"nofollow\">MisfitsEnterprise<\/a>\n<\/div><br>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\"><strong>Then, I went crazy and put it on every party thing I could think of&#8230;<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"text-align:center;line-height:150%\">\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.zazzle.com\/collections\/fishing_lures-119591711343645972?rf=238385539541750530\" rel=\"nofollow\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/rlv.zcache.com\/fishing_lures_119591711343645972-r_zruem_xhuicq_425.jpg\" alt=\"Fishing Lures\" style=\"border:0;\" \/><\/a>\n<br\/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.zazzle.com\/collections\/fishing_lures-119591711343645972?rf=238385539541750530\" rel=\"nofollow\">Fishing Lures<\/a>\n<br\/>by <a href=\"https:\/\/www.zazzle.com\/mbr\/238385539541750530?rf=238385539541750530\" rel=\"nofollow\">MisfitsEnterprise<\/a>\n<\/div><br>\n\n\n\n<p>I&#8217;m sure I&#8217;ve missed a few things&#8230; Maybe I&#8217;ll put that main lure &#8211; the one on the card &#8211; on the icing rounds. Those icing rounds can go on cupcakes, or around the edges of a cake, or even on cookies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Probably the worst part was the mockup. I&#8217;m not very good at that, as you can see by my cover image in the Fishing Lures collection. Yes, I remembered shadows, but I&#8217;m still not content with how it turned out. But overall &#8211; I&#8217;d much rather give a fisherman a party with real fishing lures rather than comical, childish fish. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>My dad passed, but he was big on fishing. I&#8217;d use these for him. That&#8217;s who I had in mind when I made them. Hope you like them too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I sell my designs mostly on Zazzle.
