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!
