This little cutie from Mo's Digital Pencil "Little Umbrella" screams summer....and I think now that it is mid August (and kids are back to school here) I have realized all those things I meant to do to celebrate the sun. When we were at the Ranch I had to watch my sun time by the pool, and riding (not easy when its 110 degrees) as the medication I was on warned me to be cautious....I decided to follow the directions and did not get to spend the time I so enjoy in the pool and basking in the sun. Now, before I know it, summer is just about gone! So why not color up this lovely lady.
When I began coloring her I posted her in process on my Facebook page. One of my friends, who is in charge of Cross Walk Bookstore in Missouri (where I send a lot of my Christian cards for sale) challenged me to put some scripture to it and send it to them. Loved the challenge - while there were some scriptures I thought of, I just happened to get a Stampin' Up order in the mail a few days later and lo and behold my Trust God set contained what I think is a perfect sentiment. "Each one of us is God's special work of art". Inked it up, put it on paper, and viola - a card that makes me 'smile'. I am in the process of coloring and putting a few more of these together as I think it is the perfect birthday card for a few of my friends.

I loved being in the pool this Summer - the water was very warm! Although the temperatures were awful around the country - when I was in the pool I didn't really notice it. Now, the sun isn't as warm - and the water certainly isn't as warm either! But - there's always next year.
I love this image - I've used her a couple of times. Adorable card and coloring is wonderful. The BG is perfect Summer colors and I like the added clouds and shells!
