OooOh so sweet!

have you ever tried rock melon that is so juicy and sweet that when you first sink your teeth into the slice, your eyes widen with amazment, you can feel the cold, sweet juice flowing down your throat and it feels like everything around you doesnt matter and all you do is to continue chewing the flesh and sink your teeth into more of that slice of rock melon, while your other half keeps asking you questions about the rock melon which you refuse to answer until you have finish off that slice of rock melon?

well, francis and i have! he must have thought i was crazy for that maybe 60 seconds while i gulpped down that slice of rock melon but he definitely understood what i felt because he had the exact same reaction, ignoring me while i asked 'isnt it sweet?' 'it's so cold and juicy right?' 'do you like it?' etcetera...

it has been almost 7 months since we had that rock melon in otaru, hokkaido, japan and i can still recall that feel when i see the photos we managed to grab with that couple of minutes and today's post is all about a layout on that rock melon.

this is the sketch which the layout is based on...

it is from http://www.thescrappiest.blogspot.com and here is my attempt at it...

supplies used: patterned paper - my mind's eye; cardstock - dcwv; alphas - american craft and doodlebug designs; trims - red twine; chipboard - maya road and punches - martha steward 'crown'

this is a simple layout that makes me super happy when i see it! cant wait to start on the next project!

until then, *hugs*
