SIMPLY B is the wonderful sponsor for Die Cut Divas 

during the month of August.

I hope you are enjoying the summer vacation time (even though some of the DTs are in winter down-under).  I have THREE CARDS for you!

Some of us just like to relax and become the artist with a canvas to paint.  Here's to summer and hanging out doing the things you want to.  It's SUMMER VACATION.  Die Cut Divas' is having a challenge based on summer vacation, so jump on in too.

Isn't this image a cutie?  

I had to try out different colors and had to finish them so I could see how they turned out.

Wouldn't you like to be sitting relaxing and not cleaning your house?  That's a nice stay-cation.

Let's Cycle

You can visit Die Cut Divas for the Summer Vacation challenge here.

I'm using a retired image from Simply B.  I LOVE this image and so glad I was able to grab her before she was retired.  I guess she just got tired of cycling.

I hadn't tried black hair with my Copics and I'm still learning, but I think she came out pretty cute.  I do so like this image.  Take a summer vacation to see a bit of France here..  This is my sample at Die Cut Divas.  To enter our challenge, click here.

California Dreamin'

You can visit Die Cut Divas for the Summer Vacation challenge here.

I have several images I wanted to show you, two of the bathing beauties from Simply B and a couple of that typical Hollywood profession of capturing action on film.  Read on.

It's HOT in Sacramento in August, so this little lady is hot.  This photo makes her look much oranger than she really is.  There is much more shading in her hair than showns here.  All in all, she really is pretty darn cute and is the stock picture of a California gal.

I had to color two of these little California beauties.
