Splish Splash Summer...

OMG!! What a Cutie Pie!!! :) And that's what this Beach Baby (F1094) is from...the Cutie Pie Kids Collection! Have you checked out all the brand new releases yet?!! You really should because there are some REALLY fun Summer images to play with!! I also used parts of the 4 in 1 beach background (D1099) as well as part of the Fun in the Sun sentiment (D1072) And if you notice the fun sandy beach she's standing on, I used the new Sand, Snow, Water Background (D1114) image to create my own "beach scene" here! I added my own little coloring and dots for special "sand effect"! :) -I've got another creation below with the same image! For the turquoise background, I used the fun Fish/Bubbles CEP border image (P129).

I made this card with not only the fun Summer scene in mind, but also for the MMSC11 fun sketch over at Midnight Madness!! I had fun dressing up the rest of the card with some tiny seashells that I had!! :) OK...don't know about YOU, but I'm ready for the beach!!

How about catching some waves in the ocean?!! The water is the same Sand, Snow, Water Background image (D1114) that I used above! Only this time, I stamped it repeatedly for some fun ocean waves! Now my sweet buddy Splash the Dolphin (H1031) is peeking out of the waves because I took one of the waves and used my kraft knife to cut a slit for him to fit inside like he's jumping up from the water! :) I made my own clouds with a scallop circle and a sponge. Then just added the fun sentiments, ribbon and Cuttlebug Embossed background. It's hard to see in the picture, but I've also added some fun Stickles to the water and it just sparkles like the water!

Now head on over to DRS Designs and pick out some fun Summer images to play with!!
Don't forget that the image I used on BOTH cards can be used for your snow fun too!!

This card is so cute. I don't know what the sand, snow and water background is from, but I know I would LOVE to have that. What a great, versatile piece to have to create scenes. I like the way the sun is popped too. Thank you so much for playing with us at the MMSC this week. Hope you will play with us again.
