IB179 Melony Birthday

Happy Thursday, peeps!  We have a fun Inspired By challenge for you today---oh, who am I kidding, they're ALWAYS fun!  Check out these yummy treats!!!

 

And here is our optional sketch, too...I chose not to use it, but you can use the sketch, the photo or both for your card!

I've had these Fruit Fusion papers from Papertrey forever....and the watermelon print seemed perfect for today's challenge:

I layered some on a piece of Petal Pink, then added a little side flap (which was actually cut from the cover of the paper pad!) using the Basic Borders dies.  I stamped the sentiment from Shaded Summer and diecut it with the Scalloped Contours die, then backed it with a Stitched Rectangle in Kiwi Kiss (remember that one?) and added some fun ribbon I came across in an old Paper Pumpkin kit:

I did fussy-cut another little watermelon from a scrap and adhered it to the sentiment for fun!  Easy peasy watermelon squeezy!  Hope you'll play along with our sweet inspiration this week...it's perfect for creating some summer-theme cards!  Share them with us at the Inspired By blog!!  Thanks for popping in today!

Cassidy sent me this photo of Eden lying on Dana's yoga mat:

Gives new meaning to "Downward Facing Dog"!!!  Enjoy your day and be blessed!
