Melon Berry Madness

Here are some cards that I started out making for Becky's Compose a Card challenge #1 that she issued last week, LOL!  Of course it's way late to enter but I thought I'd share anyways. I had so many ideas for using my Melon Berry cs and Becky's layout that I made three cards before I knew it.


I think this is the first baby card I've ever made. This is the stamp set Baby Button Bits from Papertrey and I finally got it inky.  Isn't that teddy bear too cute? 





Another baby card using the pod image.  So many sweet, adorable images included in this set.


A birthday card this time.  I embossed the front cream panel with my Cuttlebug folder - Birds & Swirls.  The image & sentiment is from Giga Guidelines.  Back panel is stamped with Text Styles.  



Im actually running low on Melon Berry cardstock so I'll be putting in an order for the mamba-jamba 50 pack soon.  I don't ever want to run out of this color, it's my new fave!    

Im still trying to complete Ted's Pallenge #1 from the PALs website and will get that posted before the deadline (note to self, hurry up!).  Hopefully I'll get a chance to enter Becky's new challenge for this week but will not stress myself if I can't. There's so much happening right now with PTI's anniversary festivities I want to be sure Im not over-commiting to anything.  There's still real life to deal with too! ;o)

Thanks for stopping by!

  11. Oh my gosh, I love these cards!! I really love Melon Berry too, can't wait until the new ink formulation comes out!! I really love all three of these cards but the first two are my favourites. Love that cute little bear with his button centre, and on the second one I *love* how you used a heart from Heart Prints to act as the 'o' in 'joy'!!
