It's a Refreshing Summer with the Divas

Hello Crafty Friends,
 
Welcome back and thank you for visiting!
I have been busy crafting and cleaning. My hubby even teased me yesterday saying I should be a stay at home mom since he liked having dinner ready right when he got home for work. Then he said , "Not going to happen until the kids are on their own." Boys...kids sure expensive, aren't they?!?! Between high school and college...need I say more!
 
Today brings a new challenge at Die Cuttin' Divas, so here is another opportunity for you to share your newest creation.
 
The Challenge... Refreshing Summer
When I think of summer not only do I think  about the beach and pool, but I think about cookouts with watermelon. It seems we don't eat it any other time of the year except summer. Here in Florida you can find a truck on the side of the road at any corner selling whole melons for only a couple dollars.
 
Here is my Design Team project...
Tip of the Day...Don't be afraid to use a variety of embellishments. I have combined skittles by Carri, my handmade stick pin, and gingham ribbon. Use a variety of colors and be creative!
I used the sketch from Seems a Little Sketchy.
Materials:
 papers are from scrap box (really trying to use them!)
Preserves Cricut cartridge ~ watermelon slice (p. 39) cut at 2"
"Just Because" Cards Cricut cartridge ~ sentiment (p. 55) cut at 2" 
skittles ~ meadow, watermelon, and sunset orange
beads and straight pin
pink and white gingham ribbon 
pink ink on edges
 
Other Challenges:
 
This Week's Sponsor...
Life's a Party cartridge
 
Can't wait to see what you share at Die Cuttin' Diva this week! The Design Team and Guest Diva projects are just filled with Summer Sweetness!

Stay Creative,
Georgiana
