Just a quick post to spread the news that Fresh Squeezed Stamps is the sponsor for the latest Curtain Call Challenge (Watermelon Wonder) ! I hope you can join the fun and maybe you will just win a new stamp set of your choice!

If you think that the "fruit" does not look like watermelon...,well, you are absolutely right! I had used the image in this set--Sublime Citrus. With half of the citrus image, I turned it into a watermelon slice. Some "watermelon seeds" were added with a fine black pen. The sentiment and stems are from Everyday Expressions.
Lastly, I want to share a few fun photos of my two kids (Stephanie and David--then and now).
Stephanie successfully defended her Master's thesis yesterday and will start her PhD program in the fall. We had a big party to celebrate this special occasion.
I survive in cooking for party of 20 last night! Things we do for the kids, eh?
Thanks so much for stopping by!

Yikes! That was so smart of you to turn the citrus piece into a watermelon slide...I would never have known and was in fact, wondering what stamp set it had come from! Super cute card and a beautiful family too.
You were so smart to use the citrus slice as a watermelon! Love the layered washi tape and pink sequins on your cute design.
