Hard to believe I even made this card today... it was far too chilly for swimming around here! But isn't he cute? Nothing says summer like fins & floaties :) And look at that hair... crazy. I always pictured this little dude a redhead... don't ask... I don't know :)
Stamps: Summer Boys, That Guy (retired)
Paper: Frutti Fushion (retired), DCWV orange & lime, and white ultrasmooth cardstocks
Ink: Memento Tuxedo
Other: Crystal Lacquer, foam tape, misc. ribbon (HL), circle punches

I added a little lacquer to his goggles, fins & floaties... adds a little sumpin' sumpin' I think.
Well, tomorrow I've got a full day prepping & serving at the Shrine Ladies' Spring Tea... I even baked cookies today! {GASP} While you are hauling your hiney back into your chair after THAT newsflash, I'll share the super easy recipe for Lemon Crackle Cookies:
1 lemon cake mix
1 egg
1 8 oz. tub Cool Whip
1 Tbs. lemon extract (optional... but oh so good)
Mix together, drop into powdered sugar & roll into balls, place on greased cookie sheet, bake at 350 degrees for 10-12 minutes (14-16 minutes if using stoneware)
Yeah... I know... not REALLY that homemade, but at least I actually had to turn on the oven :)
What do you think?
