Yep, it's Summertime alright!!

For us Floridians, that's a no brainer!! Oh man, is it ever HOT!! But for today, it's perfect cuz' it plays right into this week's Catch the Bug Challenge - SUMMERTIME!! So for my card today, I decided to go with a sport that's pretty popular here in the Sunshine State - TUBIN'!! Oh yeah, it don't get no funner than tubin'!! Woo-hoo!! Skippin' across the water and holdin' on for dear life! And if ya got a maniac drivin' the boat (I ain't mentioning no names, uh-hmm!), he zig zags back and forth so he can fling you over the boat wakes!! Um, yep - I've had my share of tubin' experiences!! What??? You never seen a chicken on a tube b'fore??? Bwah-ha-ha-ha!!

Ok-ok, so for my card I chose this super cute image called "A Kids View - Tubin" from Bugaboo Stamps. I printed the image onto some Fanboy CS and colored him with my Copics. I matted him with some blue CS and stitched around the edges. I applied some Glossy Accents to the water for a little splash and then tied this red & white thread to the tube for the perfect boat rope! I picked up this DP on one of my MANY trips to Michaels and cut the sun out free hand. Oh and my daughter thought of the sentiment inside - it reads, "When the waves get rough - keep hangin' on!" Isn't that perfect for a "pick me up" card? I loved it! Pretty simple card and would definitely put a smile on someone's face who was havin' a bad day. Okee dokee, that's it for me today. Be sure to leave a cluck below and let me know what ya think and if this Florida heat ain't hot enough for ya, then hop on over to the rest of the Bugaboo DT and see what they've got cookin'. I bet their creations are SMOH-KIN hot! See ya back in the coop on Monday!! {{{hen hugs}}}
