The Watermelon Story

I did this layout for two challenges this week.

I did the CSI case #2.  I found this site to have some interesting takes on challenges.  You are to use color and pick prompts for embellishments and journaling.


I used flowers, swirls and I embossed the raspberry paper with a brick texture.

I also used the Fabulous Fridays prompt to use acrylic, vellum or a transparency at Frosted Designs.  The transparency I chose went really well with the color scheme for the CSI case.

I was also inspired by Erika at Club CK to scrap a story that you don't have photos for.  The only photos I have of this even are the ones in my memory.  In order to not lose such a cute memory, I wanted to scrap it. I went out and bought a melon so I would have some relevant photo, lol.  I am very glad to have someone encourage me to get that memory out of my head and in my scrapbook!

The story is about one of Kayla's first adventures driving solo.  I was setting up for a big BBQ and we needed to get 3 watermelons.  We sent Kayla because she could drive now.  When she came back, she just walked in the house and said the melons were in the van.  I walked out to see that she had placed each melon in its own bucket seat and fastened the seatbelts around each one of them.  I was probably one of the cutest things I've seen!
