My good buddy Rhonda at Scrap Happens is having a challenge on her blog. The prize is one of her fantastic albums. If you have never won one of Rhonda's albums, get over there and take a look. This gal is amazing! I have been lucky enough to win several times and she made me an album for my birthday last year that I just treasure. So I had to make something for this challenge. The theme is "Fourth of July, Summertime". When I was a child growing up, I remember having watermelon on the 4th of July. It seems to me like we always had it. When I married and told my husband we had to have watermelon on the 4th, he looked at me like I was crazy. Do you have watermelon on the 4th of July? Do you have some other family tradition that just has to happen on the 4th?
I decided for the challenge to make this cute watermelon box from SVG Cuts. It is from the Fruity Fiesta SVG Kit. I have to admit, I struggled a little to get this put together, but I think it is good for my aging brain cells to struggle sometimes.
Of course I had to add some "watermelon skittles" look at how they reflect the light, so pretty.
I had some watermelon paper so I used that to line the inside of the box.
I don't know why my pictures turned out kinda shadowy, sorry.
