Summertime, Sun -sun-summertime

Summertime.  Sunner time.  When I was growing up my summer times were spent in the sun and in the water.  We lived by a lake and we were either in or by the water most of the day.  Good memories.
I get a chuckle when I color this digital image by Nina Jay.  It makes me think he is trying to talk himself into the first swim of the year - probably a little chilly.
I put a few real little shells along with the stamped ones (stamp by Faith Greetings) and Stickles on the sun.
Here is the sketch I used:

    Your card is adorable, I grew up beside a lake too and yes many an afternoon was spent cooling off in the water with the other kids. Looking back I think how lucky we were, but at the time it was just the normal thing to do and we didn't think anything of it!

    That image is totally adorable, Marsha! Such a sweet card, and you're right. . it does look like he's trying to talk himself into getting in that water. Thanks for playing the CIC ;)
