Boating Fun Layout

Have you ever had a layout that you just wanted to do knowing that you didn't have any pictures for it yet? Well, I rarely do that. I always scrapbook around my printed photos, but......I went to JoAnn's the other day and they had their DCWV stacks for 50% off. The citrus collection was screaming at me to take it home and I just couldn't disappoint it or me so I did. (That's what I'm telling my hubby and since it's my story...I'm stickin' to it!) Anyway, Treasure Box Designs has done it again and they had a boating fun set. I've already bought many of her sets and since I'd just purchased the paper, I didn't want to spend any more so....what's a girl to do? Since I had already purchased the bear set, I just set about going through my SVG files until I found a duck in a tube....one tube down, and a sailboat bottom which I added a rectangle and oval to to make my own stearing wheel and another rectangle warped for the front window and voila....my own boating set using her bears. I just stretched the bears body to be a little different and added a peaking bear for the driver. Have I mentioned that I love MTC? LOL. I love that I can take a sail boat and use a rectangle to boolean join taking off the sails leaving me with just the boat. I then warped it a tad and had one speed boat. Lovin' it! Now we just need warm enough weather we can get the boat out and take the kids tubing! Summer fun!

I'm entering it into these challenges:
