I finally got some time....or should I say made some time to stamp today. I got my card finished for the Papertrey May Guest Stamper Contest. Oh I really like how it turned out. I'll post that after the 15th. Tonight I thought I would share what I made for today's sketch challenge on Splitcoasters.....and yes it was a challenge. I had both my 3 1/2 and 2 year old helping me. Ethan wanted all of my cuttlebug scraps and Ava was into everything. I would go get some ribbon and she would then follow and bring me five more rolls. I was trying to do this while they ate supper......why don't I ever learn my lesson! My husband is gone for the day in Chicago....he took the train up for a trade show and will be back late tonight! So it's just me and the kiddos!
When I saw todays sketch, I thought of a watermelon. I have some patterned paper that I thought would be cute for the watermelon center and the seeds I used my ticket corner punch for the seeds. I think they turned out just right. The sentiment is from my computer. I've been working on my photography for my cards....what do you think?
Card Recipe:
Paper: Wild Wasabi, Rose Red DP, Barely Banana, Black (SU)
Ribbon: Wild Wasabi Striped Grosgrain, Black Gingham(SU)
Accessories: Scalloped Punch, 1 3/8" and 1 1/4" Circle Punches, Ticket Corner Punch (for seeds) (SU) Cuttlebug Swiss Dots folder and Oval and Oval Scallop Nestibilities
As always I have pictures of the kiddos. Ava is at our island eating corn....isn't she a "ham"! Ethan is at the hospital TeePeeing his room! It's a long story, but the toilet paper tubes worked well to tape together for a baseball bat! See what you do when you get bored at the hospital!

Your kids are BEAUTIFUL! I love your watermelon card. I would have never thought of that.
Just discovered your blog this evening. I have an Ethan at home too. I'm so happy to hear that your Ethan is now cancer free. I hope the drug trial works out. You are all in my prayers.
You are getting noticed, love your watermelon card, it looks just like real watermelon. Wish you all the best on Ethan's drug trial, he is a good at tee-peeing already. Ava is such a cutie!!
