We're having "Fun in the Sun" at Mo's!

Hello and welcome once again to to my little corner of the world! It's Thursday . . . and this month is flying by!! One of these days I really AM going to make a Christmas card!! But not today!! For this week's challenge at Mo's DP2 Challenge Blog, my sweet and very clever DT sistah, Elaine, has chosen an exceptionally "non-Christmas" theme . . .

"Fun in the Sun"

And we've certainly had plenty (sunshine, that is) lately here in Richmond, VA, USA!! In fact, we're already seeing mid-90 F degree temperatures! Oh how I want to be at the beach!! Soon . . . but never quite soon enough! hehe! Here's my "Fun in the Sun" card . . .

Oops . . . I forgot to tell you to grab your sunglasses! This is another rather "bright" card!! OK . . . so here's the deal . . . I've had this precious little Mo image for well over a year . . . and this is the first time it's come within "coloring" distance of my markers and pencils! (Hanging head in shame here!!) This sweetheart is "Maggie" and you can find her HERE  in Mo's online store! Oh, oh, oh . . . and I found this fabulous set of digi papers and elements at Nitwit Collections . . . they're by Mary Fran and are called "Sandcastles" . . . they're perfect!! Here's a close-up of sweet little Maggie" . . .

This image was absolutely delightful to color . . . especially that hair!! Here's a bit of a side view . . .
