A Red, White & Blue Layout with MME American Made Collection

Today I am a Guest Designer over at
CrazyAboutCricut!!

and the challenge is RED WHITE & BLUE

I used the My Mind's Eye American Made Collection that you can find over at Happy N Scrappin'
Cricut Cuts:
I used "Independence Day" for the Red, White & Blue title;
the "Pack Your Bags" for the waves (the layer of a design);
the "Simply Charmed" for the bucket and sand; and
the "Sponge Bob Square Pants" cartridge for the life saver.

A Watermelon Layout

Today I created a layout of my babies eating watermelon for today's
Cooking With Cricut Challenge

Everybody loves watermelon, but Jasmine is obsessed with it since she was a baby.

My niece and even my fur baby Tiny got in the watermelon fun!

I used Cricut Simply Charmed cartridge, DCWV black and green cardstock, and the Pink Paislee's Hometown Summer Collection.
For my base I scored the green cardstock at every inch, folded it and painted the folded edge with Adirondack white acrylic paint dabber to give it the watermelon effect/look. 
Stitched around with sewing machine, added ribbon and some buttons.
For the watermelon seeds I used a Viva pearl pen in black.
