Thanks a Melon

One more post for today. Another thank you card or two. I was looking for easy thank yous and came across this idea. I cased the idea from Lydia Cummings on Pinterest. The sentiment was in my stash (another freebie from Create with TLC) and thought it was perfect for a thank you.

This was a really easy card. I printed the sentiment from the computer. The watermelon pieces are made from punches (or could be made from dies if that works for you). I used a Stampin' Up! scalloped punch for the rind and a 1 1/4 inch circle punch for the inside. The paper is scraps from my scrap box. I used a black marker to make the seeds. I distressed the edges of the pieces with Mowed Lawn and Picked Raspberry distress inks. Both of the panels were mounted on pink card stock bases. 

I am entering them into these challenges:

• Anything goes with a Create with TLC element: used a TLC sentiment
• Simon Says Work it Wednesday: summery
• Hiding in my Craft Room: super scraps Saturday
• QKR Stampede: anything goes
• Outlawz Saturday challenge: clean and simple

We are headed out for dinner this evening with some friends and then an evening of bridge. A nice change of pace. Tomorrow I will try to post the twins 9 month pics that I took. How did they get to be 9 months old already. Time is flying. Have a wonderful week! Back to work tomorrow.
