Splendiferous Boy...

Summer afternoon - Summer afternoon... the two most beautiful words in the English language. -Henry JamesWow, it has been a Week since I was here last? Sorry folks! I'll try to stay away from Facebook a little more and get some crafting done!

I sat down and colored this image Saturday to make a card for this week's Cupcake Inspiration Challenge and then I got side tracked...probably by Farmville or Frontierville! :-S

I used the Red, White and Blue colors of the cuppies and added some stars but didn't go straight 4th of July on this one. The image is a new stamp I just got in the mail from Lili of the Valley called Lazy Afternoon...I am Loving the adorable images!! I colored the little boy with Copics, of course...the rest is pretty self explanatory!
I left the inside blank, because I don't know where this little guy is headed quite yet...
