Let the Sun Shine and Surf's Up

I am typing with a very sore arm today. My DD loves the Volkswagen commerical where they punch the person in the arm every time they spot a VW. Except she does not care if it's a VW, Volvo, BMW, etc. she just calls the color and punches me. After picking her up this afternoon, she proceeded to punch me for 25 minutes on our way home despite the fact that I kept trying to explain the rules of the "game". To no avail. She kept saying, "you're joking with me, right Mom?" About five minutes from home she grew tired of the game and decided to sing show tunes. Oh joy! Sometimes explaining things to an Aspie can be challenging. Nevertheless, I love her so!
Okay two cards to share today. I finally cut into my Fancy Pants, "Rusted Sun" collection. Such a cute line with flowers, surf boards, swimming attire, plaids, and polka dots. My first card is for Card Patterns sketch #67



Everything is Fancy Pants except the button (Autumn Leaves) and rhinestones (Bazzill). I couldn't resist buying the ribbon package they offer! I love pom poms and the printed floral ribbon is satin and ties nicely.
My next card is for JUGS #36 sketch. Again, I used Fancy Pants "Rusted Sun" papers and stickers ,Autumn Leaves buttons, and Ice Stickles on the surf board.
My inspiration for both Summer cards was based off the latest OCC challenge: what does Summer mean to you? To me, it's sun, sand, and fun!
I hope you had a great weekend! I am off to rest my arm. :-)
