 I can't believe how time is flying in this summer card camp. It's already Week 3! The color combination this week is soft and warm with neutral colors and some red.  I also managed to use a  lot of my scraps.

Enjoy!

Summer Card Camp: Card 3

Hi Everyone,


Well, it is the second week of summer card camp and that means that there is a new color combination challenge. I really found this color combination to be rich, bold, and vibrant. These colors really spoke to me. I went out to Michael's craft store earlier this evening and found the stamp for only a dollar! It stamped beautifully! I was totally inspired by the saying and thought that the butterflies went right along with it. Here is my third card of camp and first of Week #2's color challenge.

Enjoy!
