For this week's CAS challenge: summer fun theme. What's more fun for a kid than a romp through the sprinkler on a hot summer day?
For this week's technique challenge: traditional holiday colors used in a non-traditional way.
Okay. Confession: Monthly, a group of us meet at a nearby craft store for a card swap. This month's theme was summer, and I'd already made the required six cards with the sprinkler girl's swimsuit colored in blue. I was jazzed to see today's CAS theme, and then read the post for the technique challenge. So, I quickly threw together another card with a green swimsuit and card base. Christmas colors are my favorites anyway-- Growing up, with my birthday overshadowed by Christmas, I dreamed of a summer birthday. Well, here it is.

What sweet cards. Made me smile. I like your idea of a summer birthday, mine is in December as well. Many gifts I get are Christmas related for my birthday. Would love a summer birthday. Beautiful job on this sweetest of images!

Adorable little cutie in her green bathing suit! She looks a bit tan, don't let her get sunburned! Love the tiny sprinkler...good memories of running through the sprinkler (cold water though).

Don't you love it when you have something already made that will fit a challenge! Your cute little swimmers are adorable in all their colors -- including the red and green!
