I love this lovely image very much, watermelon is my favorite fruit. I can eat a whole watermelon all by myself believe or not! Every time my mom see me eating watermelon she will reminder me (this yummy fruit was her craving) when she was expecting me. What was your craving when you were expecting?

Welcome back High Hopes Fans! I hope you are enjoying the first week of summer! 
For me, there is nothing better on a super hot, humid day then some sweet, cold watermelon or cantaloupe. 

This week's post features "Summer Sweetness" - this cutie sure seems to be enjoying her watermelon doesn't she?! I'm not sure I smile this big when I have some but it sure does help cool me down. 

I started by colouring my stamp with alcohol markers and cutting it out with a stitching and piercing marks die. I used my Fiskars circle cutter to cut the cardstock circle to back it with. After cutting and scoring my card base, I added patterned paper from MFT and Echo Park. A white gel pen was perfect to add dots to her cute cheeks and hair bows. 

Some flowers from Prima and gumdrops were the perfect finishing touches to my card.
