Made this using the CTMH July Stamp of the Month, For My Beautiful Friend, that is available thru end of day today 7/31.
The girl image reminds me of when I was younger and wore white socks with black & white saddle shoes to Catholic elementary school.
Had a mishap where the left edge of white cardstock had a raw edge when trimmed and did not notice until I had assembled the card so some washi tape which matches the flower theme came into play.

I made this card using Close To My Heart Summer Vibes which you can order (see below).
I
like watermelon, especially seedless ; however when a watermelon is
indicated as seedless it may have white seeds but not the black seeds. When younger I use to put salt on watermelon, do not recall why, think others were doing it; now I do not put salt on it.

Was inspired by Jessica of the Lawn Fawnatics Design Team. Tried out the Camera dies to make this card that I'm going to send to my Great Niece (my older sister's daughter's daughter) in FL (thus the Dolphin). I recently sent her a card using the slider interactive die which she has enjoyed so I think she will enjoy this one also.
Also wanted to use the wonderful Beach cardstock and used some on the inside of card.
I've always been fond of photography. Photographed the card with a vintage camera that use to be my Father's.
