I used today's sketch to make my MMTPT261 (Tues.) challenge card. This week is our Tickle and our challenge was to bring cards that had fun summer stuff for kids to do. I didn't have any stamps that coincided with this theme. I found this free drawing at www.kids.ct.gov When my late-brother and I were kids, all we needed was a pool w/water and we'd stay in it til we were wrinkled. Mom would have to "drag" us out! Getting us each in the tub every night was another story! Maybe she should have let us wear our bathing suits! Heehee! Fond memories. Sigh.
This card is also for Tam's DTGD13 challenge.
THANKS for looking!
Paper: Paper Studio, Mpad, ancient Miss Elizabeth's dp, Recollections
Accessories: Spellbinder dies, PTI die, The Twinery and Divine twines, Cuttlebug "bubbles" embossing folder, black Zig archive marker, computer and printer to generate image and sentiment

This is adorable Gabby. Isn't it funny how a few pieces of paper and a stamped image can evoke so many memories. I love everything about this wonderful card my friend.

Very cute and fun card! Sound like my kids. They will swim forever --even if the water is cold. They can be shivering like crazy, but noooo they aren't cold! tfs

That image is so silly and fun..and I remember hours of being "wrinkly" playing in the pool! The dots and stripes dp is perfect for this..cute button and twine trim. This is sure to make someone's day!

Super fun card! Thanks for sharing your childhood story and I think we can all relate...we've all been wrinkled at one time or another! Thanks for playing along in the DTGD challenges!

Oh!! does this bring me back. I grew up as a kid on a lake in the summer. We had a cabin for quite a few years. My father worked for the mines and he was transfered to another state so we had to sell our cabin. So this card sure brought me back to the "good ole times"
An adorable card..Love your happy dp's too.
