You're one in a Melon! :)

Hi!  Today's post is one of those 'just because' posts, which I just adore :)  In striving with my year's crafting goals,  I am continuing to ink up all my stamp sets that have not/never seen ink and this one by SU! is a perfect example.

In fact, I bought this adorable set on the BST forum at SCS sight unseen!  I searched high and low for a set on the internet, including in the SCS gallery to soon realize - there wasn't one!  Like anywhere!   The lady did her best to describe it and I loved how it sounded and took a risk, crafters are such fabulous peeps!  Well, imagine my *squeals* when it arrived :)  It was just as charming, country quaint as I envisioned and that was the theme I went with when coming up with the design plans for my card!  (Although you know I love me some layers and buttons!) *wink!*

My wonderful friend, Barb, hosted a Thank You swap on SCS and this was my entry to her swap.  If you haven't swapped with Barb, you simply must!  She is the bestest swap hostess and I try to join her swaps as often as I can.  My card is a bit different to the traditional thank you but hopefully they won't mind my creative twist.  This is the sample card I started with but since it's a 5 x 5, I had to tug and pull to the smaller A2 card to fit the swap requirements.  

 And here's the card I made for Barb's swap - similiar, just a wee bit smaller!

Thanks for stopping by today ~  I appreciate your visit because you are - One in a melon! :)

Big hugs ... Bigger Blessings!
