Too Cool- Whimsical Wednesday Reveal

Us girls over at Whimsical wednesdays are having our monthly challenge reveal today and our theme for this challenge was "Summer!" and it has to have "stamping on it"... I found some photos of my boys lounging around in a small swimming pool be had bought them while visiting family and friends in Florida a few summers ago.. It was super hot that summer and the boys loved cooling off in the pool..
I really wanted to make a happy and playful layout..

so, here is my take on our challenge:

I used my Peachy Keen facial expression stamps on the sunflowers.. I'm not much of a stamper, but I love my Peachy Keen stamps..LOL
and for some close ups:








and for supplies used:

cricut cartridges:
Lifes a Beach: Beach Ball
Mothers Day Bouquet: Sun flowers and leaves
New arrival: Pool (bath tub with legs and shower cut off)
Pooh and Friends: Grass
Doodlecharms: Sun
Boys Will Be Boys: Title and Arrow

papers by: DCWV  The Crafty Stack
cardstock: red, blue, green and brown

Stamps by: Peachy Keen Stamps
Ink: StazOn: Jet Black
White gel pen for doodling
Chalks
Tim Holtz distress Inks: Broken china
Versa Color ink: Evergreen
Foam tape

I think that should about do it again for the supplies used... I had so much fun making this layout and using stamps was such a change from the norm... I hope you ladies get some time to join our challenge this time and win yourself some blog candy.. Do stop by Whimsical Wednesdays and join in on our fun..
Hope everone has a wonderfully creative week..
Hugs
Nanné

  3. Wow Nanne-your layout is super cool! I love all the flowers with the peachy keen expressions.
    Great stamping. Your large sun with the curled ends looks terrific, very dimensional. I especially like how all the photos are floating in a pool themselves. You are very clever!
    You can't have more fun in the sun then a day in the water.
    Wonderful job!

  4. Nanne,

    This is just a fabulous LO. Your boys look like they are having a ball playing in the pool. I know how hot it gets in Florida in the summer so you just have to cool off. Here in Central AL it is 96 degrees as I type. So that pool is looking REAL GOOD to me right now.
    I just love the way you designed the page to make the photos a part of the design rather than just sitting on top of the page. All of the doodling you did on everything just brings the page to life. It is amazing what the simple little details can do. The paper colors are great and just work so well with the photos. It is obvious that you put so much time into this LO and it is outstanding!!!

  19. Nanne,
    OMG! Where does one begin with your LO! I love how you took the a bathtub and totally made it look like the pool in the pictures ~ that is unbelievably clever! The flowers wrapping around, the doodling, the sun, the beach ball (one of my favs), the arrow, the sentiment and of course the pictures! They look like they were "COOLED OFF"! We have the same pool it seems, it works for us too! Great job again!
