oh happy day!

This is the first card that I made with this new stamp set from La-La Land Crafts, this is Summer Lucky and this set comes with three coordinating sentiments!! Lucky looks so cool and relaxed in his inner tube with a glass of cold lemonade in his hand!! Fun, fun, fun!! :-)

I used this card made by Cheryl as my inspiration and it came together in no time.. well, it took me "only" a few hours to put it together.. I am a pretty slow crafter when it comes to designing my cards. I think it takes me in average 3-4 hours to make a card..
