This weeks CCEE challenge we had a sketch challenge and the theme is Summertime and Living is Easy. Well, it has been so hot here, that summertime is not easy this week. I thought this little bear suited the the theme for this week. He does look like living is easy. Wanna play along with us or if you would like to see the the other team members cards, look {url=http://cceestampers.blogspot.com/]HERE[/URL]

What a beautiful card Shirley I love your coloring of the Gruffies bear image, and I really like the punched flower border. Is he saying I'm not sunbathing I'm topping up my vitamin D, or is he saying Go natural tan your bear behind (sorry me being silly) Gorgeous card sis.
