I am playing catch up this week...here is a DT card I have made for this months challenge over at Bunny Zoe's Crafts. This months 'Summer Days' Challenge was set by the lovely Mina.
I have used this adorable 'Goggles' Stamp by Belles & Whistles. I have coloured the image with Copics. The papers are from the 'Delovely' pad by Cosmo Cricket. The Sentiment, Sunshine. and scalloped border are all from the 'Sweet Summertime' collection by Echo Park. I used a really old Sizzix die to create the starfish embellie and some chipboard letters to spell out the 'Fun' sentiment.
I am off to visit my Mum today...she is still not too good and is suffering from really severe depression after her stroke last year....she was supposed to stay with me for a few months...but only manged to cope in my mad house for a few weeks...I do have to admit that being around Jack is not at all restful! LOL....anyhoo I am going to try and persuade her to go out for lunch today...she always makes 101 excuses not to go...but this time I not taking No for answer...she spends far to much time alone and I think that is half the problem...getting out & about may help her forget about her own problems for a while.
Thanks for visiting...I hope you all have a great day!

Hi Debbie
what a lovely bright card, love the image & the papers, also love your starfish. I am pleased you now have help with Jack, ? but why only two days, what do they think happens on the other five days. Hope you manage to get to take your Mum out, what a worry for you, it's not as if you havn't got enough on your plate already. As for you not being able to post as much as usual, you just post when ever you can, as much as we all look forward to your lovely posts, everyone understands that you are going to have your hands full with Jack.

Hi Debbie,
Oeh, you are very busy with taking care of the loved ones around you! Too bad your mum is feeling so depressed, it's hard to help someone then... You can only do so much, but they have to sort their thought out themselves...Good luck on that!
And also with Jack, hope you will get the right help, that gives you some time for yourself and Jack some nice time as well!
Do love the card you made here, it's a very very happy one!! What cute colors they are!!! And the stamp is fun! He's adorable!!
Hugs, Wendy
oh this is such a fun card Debbie... Full of cheer! I am just so in love with that chubby little guy! =) You colored him beautifully!
Have you shared this awesome creation in the Belles 'n Whistles Photo Gallery? I'm sure "Belle" would love to see it there! *wink*
Hugs,
Lynda

Great, fun, cheerful card ~ love the image. Glad to hear that it's all set to have some help with Jack over the summer. Hope you can find the right person. Also hope that you managed to get your Mum to go out to lunch, it would be good for both of you! Bet if you told her it was for you she'd do it! Sneaky but effective.
