Thanks a Melon!


This is going to be a quick post.  I just came from the Papertrey release party and I am pooped!  It was great to chat with everyone!

It's time for another High Hopes challenge.  This week's challenge is to use no patterned paper.  I stamped my own patterned paper using watermelon border and colored it with copic markers.  Technically, it's not patterned paper! *wink*  And yes, I think I was crazy to color that all in! lol  When I first saw the release stamps (for the Feb release), I fell in love with this little girl!  I knew this challenge was coming up and I saved her until I had a chance to make this card.  She is just so adorable!  I stamped the Thanks a Melon sentiment on the inside.

Be sure to check out all the design team cards and join us in the challenge!  Have a Happy Sunday!!
