Is It Summer Yet?

It's not summer yet  - and hey, it's not ever springtime yet.........However, this little gal is all ready to hit the beach (and I wish I was hitting it with her)!  It's really not too early to be thinking of summer I don't guess.  My daughter, the princess (granddaughter), and I went shopping the other day in about 34 degree weather and came home with 2 bathing suits for the princess.  Something is just wrong about putting bathing suits out in the stores when it's this cold.  Oh well..........The princess loves the swimsuits (and they'll probably be too small by the time summer gets here)!!!

I went shopping at the All Dressed Up store the other day and this was one of the images I got.  Love that image and thought it'd make some cute summertime birthday cards!  Very simple card, but just my style.  The sentiment is from Stampin' Up and it's colored with Copics.

I'll enter this in the All Dressed Up Challenge - anything goes using an All Dressed Up image and the AAA Birthday Card Challenge (Cute).



Thanks for stopping by.........
Lynn

She's definitely ready for summer, Lynn, even though I'm not. My area of the world gets too hot and I always dread summer. But I do love your card and the CAS design, which nobody does better. Love the strip of striped dp!

Brenda said...

It might not be summer or even spring but it sure it on your card Lynn! I just love this card! That image is amazing and you have colored up this sweet girl perfectly. The added striped paper on the left side is all you needed. Love, love, love this card! You guys have had more "winter" than we have had I think! Unheard of! Something is up with this weather. Hoping the bathing suits aren't to small for the princess come summer. lol Hugs, Brenda

It has not been an extremely cold winter here, but you are right about bathing suits in Feb. This really is a sweet image, however. You do CAS so beautifully!

Bonnie said...

What a fun image, Lynn, and I love how you've colored her up all bright and sunny! I'm with you on shopping for bathing suits now. But by hot weather they'll be hard to find. There is something wrong with that! Thanks for thoughts of the beach.

It's summer here in Northern California! Into the 70s already and it's looking like a no-rain February for the first time since 1800 and something. It forebodes a long hot summer and a worry about fires. Well, gee, on that happy note, Lynn, I love your chickie heading to the beach in her super rad sunglasses and pigtails. Sigh, I used to look like that! Okay, what the heck; I obviously need a morning nap, lol!! Hugs, Darnell

Hi Lynn,

This card is so posh because of the washi tape on the side. The girl is so cute and your cards always so nice.

Love,

Monica
