Staying COOL

 Good morning everyone! 

We're gearing up for a hot one here. Expecting a heat index of 106 degrees and it's hot already. 

I'm staying cool in the craft room with the table fan going in front of me to boost the AC. How will you stay cool today? I'm sending along this cute friend from the Penguins in Paradise set from MFT to cheer you up! 

 Have you noticed that I can't stop stamping with critters lately?? And penguins in the SUNSHINE - how fun is that? Yes, I am really on a roll with "cute" right now!

I colored with the Zig Clean Color Real Brush markers and LOVE the intense blendable colors. I added some stripes to his pants and a swiping with the Wink of Stella Glitter Pen to look like he's standing on sand. Yes and it's time for the sunscreen, see the pink flush on his belly, lol? The squares are more yellow/gold than orange but I wasn't able to quite capture that in the photo. 

I'm playing along with CAS(E) this Sketch challenge and I'm amazed at the variety and fabulous designs from this pretty sketch.

 Thanks for popping in to see my blog today. Happy stamping!

Be yourself.

     Find delight in your craft.

          Make something beautiful!

SO adorable!! I'm glad you used your new Clear Color Real Brush markers (or whatever they're called!), that means I *might* be able to get a *similar* effect whenever mine decide to come! I ordered them May 25th and they're due to arrive by July 13th!! They're on the SLOW BOAT from Japan!! :-) And I refuse to look at that stamp set - I love cute critters too, and I don't need anymore - at least not right now!

Oh, Cindy, now that's hot!! Wow, I hope you all are staying inside and cool! Here in South Florida, we are blessed with the Gulfstream that really makes it nice even in the summer. I LOVE this little penguin, and what vibrant colors from the new Zig Clean brushes! Wow! What an adorable layout and cute sentiment! You do cute WELL! It suits you, especially in this weather! Hugs!

OH Cindy, this little guy is darling! What a cutie patootie! I know what you mean about HOT. I live in Arizona as you know, and summer is here! Yesterday it reached 113 and today it's supposed to be the same. We had such a nice May and now everyone is complaining about the heat. I laugh because although it's hot, it's never as hot where you have humidity, like where you are. In Chicago, where I'm from, if it reached 99 or 100, and the humidity was as hot as that, it was really unbearable, so I feel for you. IN any case, stay cool. Hugs.
