Sour Cream Anyone?

I'll make this a short post today { not if I can help it!  ;o) }

Today was my son's last day of  swimming lessons.  We are all kind of sad :(  only because he enjoys it so much!  Plus, Shadow made a friend during his swim lessons.  Since this was the kids last lesson, I decided to make a little something for Shadow's friend and the swim instructor.  I took the sour cream container idea and altered the size a bit larger to fit juice, some snacks, and a gift card.  It was SUPAH, HUGE, & GI-NORMOUS! :)  Before I show it to you, I put together a photo collage of my son's JOURNEY!

Here are a few pics of Shadow from September to present.  { I tried to do a photo effect/action in Photoshop, but couldn't get it to work . . . shucks!  Would've looked way cool! }

I hope you can read all that mumble jumble!   Click on the collage to get a closer look.

Now, here's the BIG sour cream container I made . . .

I used a digital image by Laurie's Scraps.  The boys hair was actually blonde and the board shorts was green.  I just used Photoshop to change to colors.  Voila!  A new looking boy with sparkly blue board shorts! 

Instead of crimping the 2 ends, I just used my scallop punch to give it a different look.   The paper I liked because it reminded me of water.  BTW, I used a 10 x 12 inch CS for this project.

Thanks for looking!  Our JOURNEY now takes us to the beach more often (if it doesn't rain since it's beginning to be a rainy season here in Hawaii).  Well, until my son starts up swim lessons again in January.
