Burning the late night oil

Ok, so I really thought come summer I would be better about blogging...especially since I'm not working (ah the joys of summer).  However, I have discovered I have had very little time to even craft, since I have hit the road running since I checked-out at school.  We went to the beach the first week and I just picked up my grandmother from the train station, after her train being delayed 13 hours and the baby and I waiting almost 4 hours in town!  Since I really want to start keeping up with my blog so that I can participate in more challenges, blog hops, etc. I am up burning the late night oil!

The only crafting I have gotten done this week are a few thank you cards and then I have been making a flower "kissing ball" for my daughters new play room.  So I am going to share the one project I have completed this week--YEA SOMETHING NEW!!  These are thank you cards that I made for the boys across the street who brought in our mail and fed my daughter's fish while we were gone.

Recipe
Items Needed: Cricut Design Studio, Doodlecharms, and DCWV cardstock
Two watermelons (set to 3.5 in.) welded together to create card
Fold to create card--but be careful because if its not facing the correct way the "bite" won't line up
Cut all other layers out of cardstock
Ink edges of green and white with green ink
Ink red with red and pink with pink
Assemble and print sentiment from computer

Ta-Da!  Not too hard, but def. cute!
