All Wet layout

The kids are so happy it's pool time all the time now that school is out!  Son#2 got to swim with all his classmates last month at the Community Center however, on a fun-filled field trip.  I took lots of pics of he and his friends splashing and jumping in the water!  I used the  H2O cartridge for all the cuts.  It did take a few tries to get the little kids cut out right, as the layer feature isn't consistent on this cart (some of the kids the fleshcolored layer is the main cut, other kids the fleshcolored layer is the shift) but I got it mostly figured out :)   I also  remembered that the words on H2O are best cut larger with a thicker paper (like the Bo Bunny double dot I used), as the letters are very thin and tear easily with thinner papers (don't ask if I remembered this BEFORE cutting with a thinner paper!).   I loved this water paper I found at Hobby Lobby for the background and it is also textured, although you can't see that in the photos.  The green print with the flippers is actually on the reverse side of it!
