Summer time

and the livin' is easy ...

Love that song.  Here's my take on a photo inspiration on Splitcoast Stampers' CAS challenge this week.  The pic is a girl in a ruffled black and white swimsuit.  I do LOVE using my chalks for backgrounds.  They 'shade' so well and when you make a mistake you can just erase it!  The bikini is a paper-pieced stamp from TAC and the rest of the card is done with chalks and cotton balls.  The hat is cut freeform, hence the wonky-ness!

And I just have to show you some pics of our little slice of paradise that I took on Saturday.  The sheep belong to our neighbours.  This is the second set of twins born over there so far this winter.  Very early.  Poor wee things - it's been SOOOO cold the last few nights, but I suppose Mom's woolly coat keeps them nice and warm when they snuggle up next to her (or sometimes on top of her).

I love this first pic.  It looks like the cow is saying:  Hey guys, where did you come from?  I'm sure you weren't here when I went to bed last night!  So cute.
