It's Pool Time

It's the 4th of July and it's HOT in Northern California.
It's the perfect time to be thinking about cool activities like swimming in the pool or at the beach.  Anything water related on this hot day is a good thing.
 Challenge Me Monday #67  - "Pool Time" is a perfect challenge for a day like this.  We're asking you to create a water-themed project and link it to the blog post at Fantabulous Cricut.  Don't forget to have a Cricut cut somewhere on your design.
So come on in and join the fun!

I've used a wonderful image from Digital Delights by Louby Loo titled
"Bucket and Spade Peyton".  He's sitting at the beach building a wonderful sandcastle
(cut from Life is a Beach).  His hat is protecting him from the hot sun (Everyday Paperdolls).

The papers are from the 6x6 Echo Park Spash pack.  I inked here and there, distressed the edge by tearing the paper and embossed the castle with Swiss Dots.  Peyton is colored with Copic Markers.

Hugs and Happy Crafting,
Larelyn
