Why is it every time I got to the beach this is the type of guy I see!!!! I never get to see all the hunks like you see in the movies, but the beach is always loaded with "oldies but goodies". Surely I couldn't be attracting them!
We have another challenge beginning at Digi Haven today and would love for you to play along with us. The theme for this challenge is Life's A Beach! Our sponsor is Bugaboo who has a wonderful prize package just waiting for the winner too - so come on over and join the fun of our challenge!
I believe this is Gus and he's pretty dapper looking and ready to ride the waves or maybe just dig in the sand! I colored him with Copics and used Glossy Accents on the beach ball (which is why it looks a little weird! Reflection!). He's mounted on some Doodlebug paper.
I'll enter this in the challenges at Creative Knockouts (make it masculine), Sweet Stamps (summer), and over at 2 Cute Ink ( beach).
Thanks for stopping by.......and be sure and check out our challenge at Digi Haven.

Haha! Adorable and funny card, Lynn! Yeah, I think I've seen this guy a few times myself! Love your bright colours!
ReplyDeleteThis is funny and darling all at the same time. I didn't know real life beaches had "hunks". I've never seen any in my area. Maybe you and I need to find a new beach. I'll do some research and we'll meet on a good beach. LOL Enjoy the day, Lynn.
ReplyDeleteI guess I have to stay off the beach now. Darn! LOL. Great likeness of me though. Funny card Lynn. This is the kind I get. Great job of creating it.
ReplyDeleteHAHA....I think Gus should probably just stick to playing in the sand. I think one wave would knock him out. Cute, cute card and I just love that colorful paper.
ReplyDeleteHave a fab weekend, Lynn.
This is a hoot! I've used this Gus before and he cracks me up every time -- love the bright fun paper you've used here!
ReplyDeleteLOL this is so cool, I love the rainbow BG and all the happy colors :)
ReplyDeleteGosh, I love this! Makes me want to do some Gus and Stella images. This is wonderful, beautiful papers, and of course, beautiful coloring!
ReplyDeleteAnother fabulous card and so love the sentiment.

Oh my gawd, this is hilarious! Gus just cracks me up! I love your coloring and especially that colorful paper! Fun stuff Lynn :)
ReplyDeleteOh Yeah, when we lived in Fla, we saw a lot of Gus types too...with their thongs! Gah-ROS! But your Gus is pretty cute, and the beach ball looked quite shiny, just like a real one does. Love Gus' lil sand bucket too. And especially his 'Tude. He's right...he can wear whatever he wants. Love that dotted paper too. Cute card. TFS & Hugs
